 Hi Everyone! I feel so blessed to be the newest member of the Newman Community! In fact it was coincidence (or perhaps not) that I had my interview on the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas – so thank you, St. Thomas!
Here’s some small stuff about me: I love puppies, books, movies, eating out and shopping! I’m terrified of bugs and heights! Now the big stuff: Life has had a funny way of revealing to me that it is the grace of God that moves all things and keeps all things in being. Little did I know, that after graduating from high school as a vocal student, receiving my BA in Marketing and working in a bankruptcy trustee firm, that one day in a small church in Singapore I would be called to drop everything and go learn about our faith! If I’ve learned one thing in life, it’s that when God’s hand moves, it moves swiftly and mightily, so one must always be attentive to His voice. In less than a month I had quit my job, applied for my MA Theology degree, got accepted, moved to Steubenville, Ohio and was enrolled in my first semester as a Theology Grad student at Franciscan University. I went from being a Business major to a Theology major and my life has never been the same since!
Now, four years after beginning that journey, I look back and am in complete awe of God’s presence at every moment of my life! I hunger for Him in the Eucharist and constantly pray to know and love Him more! I feel so blessed to be a part of an organization that carries out His will everyday and pray that He might use me in whatever way He pleases! I wake up each morning and thank Him, for as Scripture says, ―He has a Plan and Purpose for Me‖ – and for each and every one of us! I am absolutely in love with our faith and look forward to being of service to Newman and meeting you all! In the mean time, I’ll leave you with a quote from Robert Bresson’s film, The Diary of a Country Priest, that in my experience has always rung true: ―Tout est Grâce!‖ – ―All is Grace!‖ |
