Love that will not betray you, dismay or enslave you.
It will set you free, be more like the man you were made to be.
There is a design, an alignment, a cry of my heart to see,
the beauty of love as it was made to be. M&S

First Blog Post...Ever!

Hey guys!
So this is my first blog....ever, and I hope to share my somewhat wacky adventures with you guys. I'm an accounting major, so don't expect perfect grammar. Within the last year, I've felt God's presence in my life more and more. The friends that I've been surrounded by are more than I could ask for, and it really feels like my purpose and calling is becoming more clear. I am graduating at the end of November, which is a little intimidating, but I also know that God has a plan and his love never fails.
So just for recap.... this past summer changed my life. I spent the summer interning at a church in New Jersey and spending whatever free time I had in my favorite city, NYC. When I arrived in mid June, I was just excited at the fact that I was going to be living a half an hour away from the big apple, little did I know, that God was behind the scenes working on making that city my calling. I fell more and more in love with it, every time I went. I still get butterflies whenever I get out of the Holland tunnel and see that beautiful skyline. The people, the culture, the architecture.... everything. My family has some history there as well; my great-grandparents lived in Forest Hills, Queens and my Nana was born in Hells Kitchen.
For now, I know I'm in the right place. I have the most amazing and supportive friends a girl could ask for. So I'll wait, and listen. My time in NYC has not yet begun, and my story in Chicago has not ended. Over the next year, I'll share what has been happening in my life and in my community and I'm excited to share it.
