SCHOOL IS OUT SCREAM AND SHOUT!

After a terribly difficult 6 weeks of 3 summer classes....I AM FREE. Till mid August at least... So happy to be done with classes. Now I am focusing on preparing myself to head to Honduras in just a couple weeks! I am headed down to Central America to work in a safe home for victims of sex trafficking. The lives I am about to meet and the testimonies I will hear are something I don't think I will ever be prepared for.

My heart has been set on people who need help. The Bible speaks many times about helping other, either neighbors or strangers. Everyone is entitled to help and more importantly, love. This is going to sound crazy to say, but I can not wait to be completely wrecked by these people. I pray that I will be able to help to these girls that I will be meeting, but I also can't wait to have them impact my life.


"Yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me." // 1 Corinthians 15:10

I pray that I am a testament to this verse. That it was never me but the will and spirit of the Lord that is greater than I.

Walk around yo' city



I live in beautiful and historic Downtown Saint Augustine, which (fun fact) is the city I've dreamt of living in ever since I was in 7th grade. I am a resident of Lincolville which is filled with a TON of history. (Another fun fact) Martin Luther King, Jr. once walked the streets of Lincolville as a peace rally. I have so much history right at my door step, yet I don't acknowledge it very often.

The other day, I took a stroll around town with two friends. We started off by going to get a cup of coffee which continued into trespassing into a building and trying to access their roof (...no luck...needed a key) then went into Flagler and tried accessing the solarium (also no luck...there was an event up there that night) and then it ended going to the top of the Lightner Museum and watching the sky turn colors.





I guess the point of this is just a reminder to acknowledge your surroundings. Something as a simple walk through the neighborhood reminded me of the reason why I chose to live in St. Augustine and why I continue to. I love this town far beyond it's history. I don't think I will ever love a city more than my beloved St. Augustine. I have grown and learned so much during my time here. I cherish this town far beyond my words could explain. It is humbling to me the thought that living in this town was never really apart of my plan but more of the Lord's plan for me. I was meant to live here. My heart will always be in St. Augustine.

Another year down

I AM NOW A JUNIOR IN COLLEGE! 
I can't believe it. This year was freaking rough. From moving into my first apartment to taking six classes to quitting my job at Harley and being trained in coffee...My life has been a bit of a whirlwind. Now I'm on summer vacation for exactly 12 days then I start 3 summer classes...


Life is cool and I'm blessed to be doing it with these gals.
