Friends, this year my birthday feels different. I feel strong. I feel like I am witnessing a miracle. I am walking through a time where I am totally dependent on God and His people, and that brings a calm strength I can’t explain.
God has trusted me with 74 incredible partners so far, people I get to pray for and who are faithfully praying for me. Every step of this journey is preparing the way for campus ministry at USF, but along the way He has reminded me of my assignment: to help people see the treasure within themselves.
For my birthday, the Lord gave me one clear word: BOLDNESS. I cannot be afraid. I must be strong and courageous. And I want to invite you to celebrate with me—not just my birthday, but the doors God is opening for all of us.
