Why I became an SPO Missionary

Community is essential for Christian formation and when I met SPO for the first time I was curious and desired holy friendships. God blessed me with women who fought for me to enter freely into community. I desire to fight for women at Benedictine who desire the same thing. Women who also desire more of the Father's heart, don't know how to find it, or don't know that having holy friendships even exist. God has placed a desire in my heart to seek out His children through daily interactions and simple witnesses that bring joy to his kingdom!

Favorite Scripture verse

"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall 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?"

- Matthew 6:25-26
