My story

Okay so I'm writing this blog specifically for people who support me in my internship with Campus Ambassadors or those who are considering supporting me. I want all of you know who I am, who you're supporting, and how God has moved in my life. So here is my story. When I was two years old, my parents divorced. After that my father raised me in a Catholic church and my mom raised me in a non-denominational church so God was always there for me, but I never really had a personal relationship with Christ until my Junior year of high school when I was 17 years old. It was shortly after a student I played football with in high school passed away that I made the conscious decision to have a personal relationship with Christ. I wanted my life to mean more, I wanted to experience what a personal and real relationship with Christ looked like. Shortly after that, my best friend at that time invited me to church. Not thinking much would come out of it, I went the next week, and the feeling I experienced when I walked into that room was like nothing I'd ever felt before. For the first time, I saw what it was like to be in true community and what it looked like to be with a group of people who shared the same beliefs as myself and strived for the same things as me. From that day forward, the seed that was planted in my heart by God kept growing and growing. It's still growing to this day, but when I look at where I was 5 years ago and where I am now, I know without a doubt that God has his hand on my life. When I came into college, I felt like I was way in over my head. For my entire life, I grew up in a Christian school and Christian family so coming to a school like CU Boulder, I felt completely out of my comfort zone. If there was one dominating theme that kept coming up in my freshmen year of highschool, it was that my comfort zone was completely different from God's comfort zone. I'm sure many of you know that Boulder is considered a very dark place spiritually by many, but there has not been a single moment since I have been there that I have not felt called by God to be there. I truly believe that there is a generation of students on that campus longing to know the love of Christ. My desire is to see the kingdom of God come onto that campus like never before. I want to see a revival, a generation of students living in complete surrender to God. I know without a doubt that I am nowhere near the peak of my relationship with God and that I have a long journey ahead of me, but I truly believe that God has been there for me every step of the way and he will continue to be there even when I doubt it. Well that's a little about myself and where my heart truly belongs. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and for your willingness to support me as I embark on this journey to bring God's kingdom to this campus, this city, and to anywhere God may take me!
