Bib Interp Spiritual Timeline

FRESHMAN YEAR OF COLLEGE BEGINS God led me to Biola, and since I've come here, I have grown closer to Him, met new friends, discovered new passions, and it's just the beginning!

COMING TO FAITH At some point during this period, I remember accepting Christ into my heart, though I may have known him before this time.

MEETING MY BEST FRIEND At some point during this year of my life I met my current best friend. She has been such a blessing in my life and we have grown in faith so much since this first year together.

6TH GRADE (A TRANSITIONAL PERIOD) Throughout this school year I grew closer to my best friend, we studied the bible together, and I began volunteering in children's ministry at church.

8TH GRADE (DISCOVERING MY CALLING[S]) In this year, I started choir, which is now a passion of mine and has had an incredible impact on my life, and also, I started volunteering with preschoolers at church-which I would later discover to be something I wanted to do as a career.

ROYAL FAMILY KIDS CAMP (YEAR 1) For each summer in high school, I participated in RFK, a summer camp for Foster/Adoptive children with backgrounds of abuse and/or neglect. These experiences have taught me so much about children, life, and particularly Christ's endless, unconditional love.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL (YEAR 1) For three years I have led a 3-5 year old classroom at VBS at my church. It has been incredible to learn more about the profession I have chosen and to see children grow in faith.

ALL-STATE CHOIR (YEAR 1) Junior and Senior year of high school, I participated in All-State Choir. This is worthy of mention because it helped me to develop my singing ability and recognize it as a gift from God.

VISITING BIOLA I fell in love with Biola when I visited on Spring Preview Day. I could feel that this is where I am supposed to be.

HS SENIOR YEAR/SUMMER (A TRANSITIONAL PERIOD) In this year, I graduated high school and began preparations for college. It felt like God was closing the door of high school and my past behind me, while ushering me towards a fresh start at Biola.

CROWNED A STAR In this month I was "crowned" at the end of completing a foundational faith-building course at my church called Missionettes.
