About Me!

I am a 15 year old girl from a small town in South Carolina. Who loves and trust in all of Gods promises and would not be here without Him by my side throughout the whole journey. Who went from one day being a teen girl who had just started high school to in the hospitals PICU being told that my kidneys were only working at 10% function. Never would we have ever expected this news but would never exchange the journey for anything in the world .  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
