"Every Person Matters"

I have been doing a lot of exploring throughout Cleveland, hence the random fun photos. Aside from exploring during my downtime and on weekends, I have been helping out with the ministries here in Cleveland. Along with serving here in Cleveland, there has been a lot of learning about the ministries, the community, the people, my housemates, the team, and myself. It's a lot to take in, but God has been graciously Kind to me during this season of seeking I am currently in.  Anyways, meet my roommates (missing one). When I think about how God brought five very different individuals to live under one household for the summer, it just doesn't make any sense, but bringing us together this summer made perfect sense. We're all very different in our ways, but one thing I have found we all have in common is our faith. The last few weeks have been fun, learning to live with each other and working together! I have learned to work around our differences and embrace what makes us who we

I drove past a truck with the saying "In God We Trust" and that was the perfect reminder for me as I made my way to Cleveland. I am currently learning to trust in God's plans for me.

  ...Cleveland... Who would have thought that of all places, I would be spending my summer in Cleveland, Ohio? In all honesty, I didn't see this coming at all, but God did! And for that reason, I chose to trust God's plans for me and be obedient to His calling. So, here I am... in Cleveland, serving with Envision Cleveland.  The decision to spend the Summer in Cleveland was definitely a hard decision, but through every step of this journey, I can wholeheartedly say that God has been in every step of it. From the first message to the phone calls; from weeks of being in prayer and being an emotional wreck to ugly crying; from times of doubt and fears to surrendering and feeling at peace; from the first initiation of doing a fundraiser to being able to save and fundraised just what I would need financially as I took the Summer off work, God has walked with me every step of the way.  I am excited to be here and serve with Envision Cleveland, the community, but most importantly to
