Meet our Hey Girl of the Month for June!
I don’t worry about the opinions of the world or following any trends. Every decision that I make is based on how it would please God and uphold my faith and morals. I have had a very different childhood and life with all of my medical challenges. I have fought many battles but I have found my worth and peace in knowing that no matter how bad of a situation that I am in, Jesus will be right there with me to pick me up and lead me through. These experiences have molded and shaped me into a forever proud Hey Girl.
I know that Jesus made me so special to be an overcomer. He gave me strength to face any challenge that has come my way. I never give up, no matter how hard the challenge is. I have learned a lot about the hard side of life from a very young age. I have had multiple diagnosis, surgeries, and hospital stays but have never felt like I was not blessed in some way. Every storm that I have battled has brought good in the end. I know that my experiences have helped others by encouraging them to know that there is always light in the darkness. My goal in life is to make the world a better place and to always look for a way to help someone else.
I first found my worth in Jesus by going to church with my family at Southland. I have had great comfort in knowing that everyone there was praying for me during my times of need. My community of friends and family have been such an important part of my life. I have been blessed with wonderful role models in faith. I know that I wouldn’t have had any of this without Jesus knitting it all together. My faith continued to grow from watching and learning from Anne. She has been such an inspiration to me. She has shown me the importance of trusting my relationship with God, even in the toughest of times. Her faith never wavered after her precious brother Jacob passed away. I experienced the loss of my 17 year old cousin one year ago from a car accident. I clung to the advice from Anne to trust in the Lord and that my Jesus would see me through. I will never forget this.
I love the verse from Philippians 4:13. “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” I feel like this verse defines my mindset and heart. I want Hey Girl Nation to know that brighter days are always ahead, even if the storm feels like it will never end and you can’t possibly come out of it.
