bio: i just finished school. i'm not exactly the eternal student, but i am going through withdraw. so i decided to live vicariously through other students and work for the journey... ok, so that's not entirely true. God turned my life upside down last year as i was pursuing a dual degree in studio art and child and family development. i wanted so much to help other women know true redemption and holiness found only in Jesus. God propelled this desire by pushing many different areas of my life to a crisis point. which is a very interesting story, if you want to talk about it sometime. the crisis was a need for discipleship and genuine spirituality. this is the heart of the journey. God continued to act on my behalf and speak to me, which culminated to my surrendering to going on staff and graduating a year earlier than expected. and i'm so glad i'm here-- even counting the classroom withdraw! a little more about me... i love veggies and being barefoot. i don't like talking on the phone, i much prefer surprise visits. i dream about living in the ghetto one day and what that would look like to break the cycle of poverty for others. i have 2 sets of parents, a sister, a brother, and a step-brother. all have taught me so much and i love them. i grew up spending summers at my cousins' house and feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have tons of cousins. i lived in spain for a year but have forgotten more spanish than i'll ever know. the majority of my close friends have gotten married in the last year or two, so i've been going to weddings like an addict goes to the package store. but with far less damaging repercussions. marriage is sacred and beautiful. speaking of, i'd love to get married some day. sometimes i say things and wonder if i'm allowed to say them being in ministry and all, i.e. the package store analogy. i much prefer honesty than pretend, so express yourself. i think starting sentences with lower cases is too cool for school. i'm stoked that you have read this far in all the staff bios, but i'm sure this bio is longer (and probably cheesier) than was expected, so i'll stop. but thanks so much for reading. i'd love to hear about your life sometime... holla at a playa.

bio: I just graduated from UGA with a degree in music that I probably won't ever use. So instead God called me into ministry, so here I am, trying to figure out what exactly I'm doing here. I hate that question "what are your hobbies?", because I can never think of a good answer and/or remember. I do know that I play a bunch of instruments, hike, cook (and consequently, eat), compose weird electronic music, hang out with you, read, play DDR, and tell "your mom" jokes. I wish I would think more. And I wish that I could try out blacksmithing someday (metal+fire=awesome). And get married. Trying to summarize my life into a paragraph makes me feel like I don't do enough with myself. hmm..
