Short Testimony:
I grew up in a Christian family and 'invited Jesus into my heart' when I was about 7. Through middle school and most of high school I didn't care about God.

Trials and hard times still come my way, but I know I serve a beautiful gracious God who loves me no matter what.

What is your life verse?
It's actually a passage : Matthew 6:25-34
"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

I love this passage because it's a beautiful display of how God loves and takes care of us. I tend to worry about life a lot.. When I read this passage I remember that I am worth more to God than birds and flowers even though they don't deny Him or push Him away like I do at times. He knows everything that is going on and will happen. I am so thankful for that.

The coolest place on the planet you've ever been?
New York City. So awesome.... and trendy

What's you're most embarrassing moment?
Oh my... I tend to make embarrassing moments everyday because I don't know how to shut my mouth.. My most embarrassing moment would probably be that time I jumped of a swing and my pants completely ripped when I landed on the ground.

What's currently you're favorite attribute of God?
My current favorite attribute of God would definitely be His faithfulness.He has yet to disappoint me in life. He is always faithful in taking care of me and guiding my steps. His faithfulness is beautiful to me.
