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.

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.
BUT LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE IS?! I’ve definitely been drawn to this girl from the start. More so than Kaelia's beauty, I've been consistently thrown off by her remarkable ability to make people feel not only heard, but more importantly, understood. She cares with a depth and brevity that is extremely rare as she will always find a way to make sure you understand that she’s your biggest fan. So I asked myself, how does she love people so well? I've realized that Kaelia consistently works from a place of overflow. The more I get to know her, the more I realize how truly authentic the relationship she has with Jesus. That love of Jesus is naturally poured out over the people she comes into contact with everyday. Her heart is going to take her far, I’m sure of that. ..and I get the opportunity to be her boyfriend?! Absolutely blessed. Happy Birthday Ka 😘
I think it's important to do things that are hard with your people. It not only builds character, but it builds relationships.
Hey Insta, I found a girl I really like
Many of us sat down yesterday and started asking the question, ‘what makes me, me?’ In other words, what do I value? The thing is, everyone has values, but not everyone has defined them for themselves. So the challenge that many of us have for this week is to define our personal values. How cool is that?! I am grateful for friends who innately make me a better person. These are the kinds of people that I want in my life.
