Happy 5th Birthday Julia!
Shout out to my niece Julia! She's 5 and fabulous today, especially after a special trip to McDonald's, cake, and a mermaid birthday party. Happy birthday Julia! I love you lots!
Born and raised in Seattle, I grew up in a family of five, where I've been told by my older sisters that I was always the strong and independent one that marched to my own drum; in reality this meant I was the kid that refused to bathe, where pants, and comb my hair. Thankfully I grew out of that stage, but somehow that part of me has transpired into a heart for adventure and a willingness to go be counter-cultural. When I was 15 years old I began to develop a heart for the poorest of the poor, which has led me to where I am today. My educational path has taken me through a blend of sociology, theology, and missiology, both through college (Seattle Pacific University) and graduate school (Fuller Theological Seminary). Both a calling and a desire to work cross-culturally has brought me to a new crossroad, one hoped to be filled with adventure and personal growth. This space is an invitation to journey with me as I jump into the deep end, in all areas, both public and personal.
