I am studying Youth and Family Ministry at Harding University in Searcy, AR and will finally graduate in December of 2013! I had no idea how God would take ahold of my life when I got to the small town of Searcy, AR.
I grew up believing in a God who was always looking over my shoulder and who cut me off from his family for the smallest of sins. I grew up believing in a God who stopped working supernaturally years ago. I grew up with a God who had a lot of rules for me and was no fun at all. I grew up with a great respect for the Bible and I am so glad I did!
Through my own study and the love and conversation of many people, I found out that God's grace was bigger and stronger than I ever imagined and that his kindness led me to repentance. I found out God is alive and very active if we only look for him and believe. I saw miracles happen before my eyes and through my very hands! I found out Jesus fulfilled the Law and that we now live under the rule of grace. I found out that I should not only love the Bible but love the Word itself: Jesus Christ!
