Hello from Port St. Joe Florida!

Im writting this in the coolest little coffee shop in a small town called Port St. Joe. Im so at peace here. sitting in this coffee shop stirring up the biggest dreams in my head knowing my God has the biggest plans for me.
2 things folks.
1. I wrote a bucketlist. You guys should write one. It gives you some direction, hope for bigger dreams, and it helped me see some stuff ive already accomplished. Ive been to 3 continents. not too shabby for a 20 year old.
2) im giving up politics.
-when your personal views get in the way of loving on people for Jesus something has to change. Something has to be done.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me".- Matthew 16:24

In order to pick up the cross you must leave other things behind. The truth is you cant hold it all because you werent made with the intention to hold it all. I'm ready to take up the cross and I'm leaving many things behind. For this cause I will give up my life in entirety. Because the Lord is worth it. He deserves it and so much more that I'm not even capable of offering. but ill give what I have. Francesca Battistelli has a song called "free to be me" that really reinerates what Im expierencing and feeling right now. These are the lyrics for your wonderful viewing pleasure.

At twenty years of age
I'm still looking for a dream
A war is already waged for my destiny
But You've already won the battle
And You've got great plans for me
Though I can't always see, 'cause

I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
And on my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me

When I was just a girl
I thought I had it figured out
See my life will turn out right
And I'll make it here somehow
But things don't always come that easy
And sometimes I would doubt, 'cause…

And you're free to be you
Sometimes I believe
That I can do anything
Yet other times I think
I've got nothing good to bring
But You look at my heart and you tell me
That I've got all You seek
And it's easy to believe, even though
And you're free to be you


We are free in Christ. But will you accept that freedom he's granted you? I told my dear friend Mallory yesterday that I'd rather be a Noah then a Jonah. Id rather be called CRAZY then be running from the will of God! cause this crazy kid is FREE!

Godspeed,
