My passion is ...

serving my Lord

My favorite memory ...

how can I choose?

Why I write ...

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

My first job ...

babysitting

My best moment ...

realizing that I don't have to impress God to have His love

My inspiration ...

Christ's example of total selflessness
