My friend, Taylor Quinn, made a video of a bunch of us here at CNU. Here's the concept: first, you write on your hand a word or a phrase that described your life before you knew the Lord. Then, you erase it and write how you view yourself, your renewed life in Christ. I know this isn't really a blog post, but it says more about the power of Christ than I could express here on this blog. It is amazing to see my friends and fellow students impacted so greatly by God's grace.

My testimony in this video is "FAKE" and then "REAL!"
Before I really gave my life to Jesus, I pretended to be this perfect person. I had the perfect friends, perfect boyfriend, perfect family, perfect life... All on the outside. Inside, my heart was aching to be real. I wanted someone to know who I truly was: this facade with a broken, sinful, and dirty heart. When I finally cried out to the Lord, He said that He knew me better than I knew myself and loves me. He cleaned me on the inside which showed on the outside. I am so not perfect, but Christ's love covers me and I'm not afraid of being wrong or messing up. I'm living under God's unchanging grace. I don't have to pretend any more! God made me exactly who I am and wants me to be the beautiful woman that He made me to be! Woohoo! Thank you, Lord!!!
Ps- Props to KIP REDICK for being in this video, too! So glad you are my brother in Christ!!!
