What are you most looking forward to this summer?

Seeing God change people's hearts and heal theirsouls. I am also excited about using the gifts God has given me to celebrate and glorify Him.

Do you prefer cake or pie?

cake, either strawberry from Sugaree's Bakery or my grandmother's chocolate cake.

If you could have any superpower you want, what would it be and why?

To be able to fly. That way I could see Earth from the perspective of an angel in Heaven or a cloud in the sky.

What was your most spiritual moment or biggest God experience?

I have two most powerful spiritual moments. The first was here at Lake J. I woke up at 6:30 in the morning and couldn't go back to sleep, so I walked down to the little chapel by the lake. It was misty and it felt like me and God were the only two awake. Lately I had felt so far from God, so that morning I asked Him to let me know that He was still by my side. My Bible opened up to chapter 38 of Job, where God tells Job that He is the one that builds the storehouses of snow and tells the tide where to stop. That answered my question. Even in my lowest times in life, God was still there and will always be there because He is the Creator, the Father of time and the Father of true love. His promises are eternal and never broken. He is bigger than the mountains and deeper than the ocean. My second most powerful moment was in China this year, over Christmas break. We traveled to the top of a mountain, to a village. The people still had dirt floors, hung corn from walls to dry, and the only refrigerator I saw was a minifridge. There were no streets, just rocky dirt paths and they built fires in the middle of their dirt floors for warmth and cooking. But these people were happy! In that moment I realized how Jesus truly is ALL we need. The people of this village did not know that they didn't have a computer, a cell phone, a Lexus, elevators,a Starbucks, or a DVD player. They were happy without all these things. What they did not have was Christ, and in them I could see their hunger not for food or nice things, but for Jesus Christ, the only thing or person that can satisfy the soul. They were beautiful people, joyous, kind, and gracious. I couldn't speak their language, but I knew what they were saying.
