Jesus Christ saved my life, I am here only because of Him. As I stumble my way through life, God guides me through His grace. Here is a picture of my dreams, passions, hopes, fears, mistakes, and failures. Here I hope to be honest, real, an expression of me that will bring glory to His name. If you ever need anyone to talk to, contact me. I know what it's like to feel so alone.

“In this life I’ve been burning after more.” We were meant to live for so much more than this world has to offer. Strive for more of life and your dreams, burn for more of God, and love like it’s the greatest sacrifice.

We were discussing homosexuality because of an allusion to it in the book we were reading, and several boys made comments such as, “That’s disgusting.” We got into the debate and eventually a boy admitted that he was terrified/disgusted when he was once sharing a taxi and the other male passenger made a pass at him.
The lightbulb went off. “Oh,” I said. “I get it. See, you are afraid, because for the first time in your life you have found yourself a victim of unwanted sexual advances by someone who has the physical ability to use force against you.” The boy nodded and shuddered visibly.
“But,” I continued. “As a woman, you learn to live with that from the time you are fourteen, and it never stops. We live with that fear every day of our lives. Every man walking through the parking garage the same time you are is either just a harmless stranger or a potential rapist. Every time.”
The girls in the room nodded, agreeing. The boys seemed genuinely shocked.
“So think about that the next time you hit on a girl. Maybe, like you in the taxi, she doesn’t actually want you to.”
