My Favorite Scripture Passage: Matthew 25:38-40
'When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' "The King will reply,'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

Director of Youth and Family Ministries

I've grown up in Sugar Land most of my life. Having received both my Bachelor and Master of Social Work from Baylor University from 2004 to 2009, I've come to call Waco a second home too. I'll be a lifelong Baylor Bear! I hope to follow the Call of Ordained ministry within the Lutheran Church in the future. I enjoy biking, climbing, kayaking, camping - anything outdoors! I also make a mean smoked bratwurst, too.
Favorite Scripture: Psalm 27: 13-14
I am sure of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
Be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.

I don't have much spare time! But I love Aggie football, Cub sports, the Houston Astros, spending time with family, travelling, cooking, reading, and decorating my home. My little family is overjoyed to join the larger St. Paul's family. May we bless this congregation as surely as it blesses us.

Myy favorite passage of scripture is from Philippians, summarized: "Let the same mind be in you that is also in Christ Jesus...so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:5-13)
