- My favorite quote(s)...
- "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it." - Abraham Lincoln
"The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own." - John F. Kennedy
"There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" - Bobby Kennedy, paraphrasing George Bernard Shaw
- If I could live anywhere... (why?)
- The place doesn't matter. God will lead me where I'm supposed to be. I just want to live somewhere that all of my family can be together. Right now, my fiance's family lives in Rhode Island and my family lives in Illinois...and we're in between, in Pittsburgh.
- Others describe me as...
- Contemplative, more spiritual than religious.
- I most feel the presence of God when...
- I am in a large group of people, seeing the wonder of what God created for us.
I am near the ocean.
When I take the time to slow down, as hard as that is, and hear God in my thoughts.
- I'm passionate about...
- Living and loving one another, even (especially) when it's challenging.
Photography, beading, knitting, and learning about the ways that people make meaning in their lives (with or without god(s))
- In the future, I will be...
- A college student educator, potentially via campus ministries.
A dynamic person, always changing according to God's plan.
- My biggest struggle with discerning/following "my call" is...
- Knowing that I'm called, but not being able to define Who/What is calling me.
- A person/people who has/have helped me grow in my faith...
- My Lutheran faith was inspired primarily by my grandmother, who has since attended seminary and helped found several churches in the Chicagoland area. She also encouraged me to learn about many other faiths, and that contributed to my faith today, which really doesn't follow one faith in particular but instead considers which elements of many faiths speak the Truth to me.
