My faith in my own words:
For me, it's about walking with Holy Spirit on a daily basis, and having a love relationship with Jesus, as well as being fully dependent on the Father in every way. I love His Presence in every part of my life, and cultivating and creating that is a high value for me. I love worship and being with Him in the every day activities of life. I also strongly believe that there is so much more, and am excitedly looking to see more of His Kingdom and reign tangibly manifested on the earth. I love to see people healed and witnessing His miracles and the incredible supernatural things He does is one of my favorite things in life!
What I enjoy doing in my free time:
Many things! I love to read, write, run and work out, spend time with people, go to beautiful places, enjoy a good coffee shop or restaurant, drink wine, explore new things, hang out by the pool, play games, cook, watch movies or a good tv show. I enjoy traveling, catching up with friends and family, worship.
My favorite book(s) and why:
I love to read and have lots of favorite books in various genres. "The New Mystics" opened my eyes to the possibilities of revival and the amazing history of it throughout the years. "The Giver" was a classic one as a child I loved, I think because again, it was a whole different world where different possibilities existed. "Til We Have Faces" is my favorite C.S. Lewis tome. "Chasing the Dragon" by Jackie Pullinger changed my life in many ways.
My favorite places to go:
Beautiful places outside, be it a park, gardens, the mountains or the beach. Coffee shops and restaurants with good atmos. A local prayer house. Disneyland :) Places that inspire creativity and beauty. Cities and also just getting away, be it locally or in a foreign land. Anywhere where the Presence of Jesus is.
What I am most passionate about in life:
Justice. I want to see human trafficking end, and leaders of atrocities and carnage get radically saved. Family, and seeing those with no family come into family. Adoption and Cambodia. Creativity, making good food, dreaming, writing. Seeing God's Glory become tangible in manifest wisdom and practical ways. Freedom from religion. Health and wholeness. Learning new things! Excellence.
My current occupation or what I do:
I work as a personal assistant for my spiritual mom, and I love what I do! I also co-lead a youth SSM which was just founded this year- so exciting!! One night a week I work at a restaurant. And I also have my own business creating super delicious, organic food, which I absolutely love :)
My close friends would say my greatest strengths are:
Loyalty and commitment, thoughtfulness, intentionality, perseverance, pursuing my dreams. Living a life of active faith and risk :)
Who has had the greatest influence in my life and why:
Some of my church leaders and spiritual parents have had a tremendous impact on my life. My high school youth pastor demonstrated to me that life with Jesus was not a walk of duty out of obligation but rather a love relationship with the Creator of the universe. The leaders of the ministry training school I attended for 3 years in Australia had a huge influence on me in untold ways. I've also had some wonderful friends in my life that have created significant influences. And there have also been seemingly "random" Holy Spirit orchestrated encounters with people that have forever altered me in various ways :)
