About

Beyond the surface conversation and the fabricated smiles, I believe there is an innate desire to feel belonging. So I have this crazy idea...

I want to blog EVERY SINGLE DAY of 2018.

Why? I want to create a human connection. 

Warning: I'm going to be vulnerable. I will be writing about my failures, lessons, and fears in hopes to communicate that I'm serious about forging a real link between you and I. 

I hope you want to find a way to really connect. If so, join me as I seek the same. Who knows, maybe we'll create community with each other along the way.

Subscribe if you want be apart of a tribe of people pursuing genuine connection.

The SURPRISE proposal video was just posted!!! (See Bio). After weeks of planning, I was to get 35 of K’s favorite people in one place without her suspecting anything. When I finally took the blindfold off, her reaction made it all worth it.
So I got engaged today... #Jaelia
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER! This defines our relationship. Me doing something weird and you not knowing how to respond😂 ANYways, Love you brother. You have been a rock in my life. Forever grateful for your consistent Love for me.
My stomach will forever be indebted to your Chicken Sandwiches
For those of you that don't know, I have taken on the role as the interim middle school pastor for EastLake Church in addition to my role as the Student Groups Pastor. Through this journey, I have grown to love middle schoolers! Emily (in the picture) is just one of many wonderful little humans who is going to do spectacular things. I am simply grateful to be a part of their lives during this season, however long it may last.
Here’s a question for you: ARE YOU CREATIVELY LOVING THOSE AROUND YOU? To be honest, I'm not really good at this. I tell myself that I get so busy I don't have time to love people big, but I know that’s just an excuse. What if I made time? What if I boldly wrote a letter of the gold I see in someone, or I got a friend a physical gift that holds meaning, or I made dinner for my people? How can we do this? What is your gift? Whatever that is, use it and don't stop. -You are an artist. -Your gifts are your paintbrushes. -The canvas is your tribe. Now, go, paint something remarkable.
Grateful I can build God's kingdom by taking an active part in the lives of students... plus I get to do it with the cutie on the left 😃
It's been a year since my college graduation. What has changed? Basically everything. I moved 2,337 miles away to a place called San Diego, California to start a full-time position as a position. I get to help create community for a living, how exciting?! I also started my Masters Program Point Loma Nazarene University, decided to blog everyday, and found really great people for my own community. I dreamed a lot in college about the life I wanted to live, the people I wanted to help, and the communities I wanted to help build. Well, God has been faithful as I am well on my way to being the change I want to see in the world. What's one thing I've learned over the past year? The most excited realization has been simple: Life is what you make it. It's up to you! A question for you to ponder: Have you gotten closer to the life you've wanted to live over the past year? Also, I care deeply about the people in these photos. I miss all of you so very much.
