Who are you?
As the youngest nugget of the Eni clan, I have spent my years learning and loving the adventures of being a part of a big family. From a young age, my partner in crime, Zane, and I have been a formidable force, from sneaking around the house stealing snacks to randomly bursting out into song at all hours of the night. I’ve been known as bubbly, a counselor, and wielding an endless source of hugs and dubious laughter, but out of all those things, there is one common trait—Joy. God has blessed me with His Joy, enabling me to know who I am and WHOSE I am. I love people! And that’s an understatement. Being the crazy extrovert that I am, people have always been such an important part of my life, especially since I rely on their energy to sustain my power for world domination. I have had incredible opportunities to invest in people through close friendships, mentorships, and leading a discipleship program called ‘Little Sisters,’ which includes some of the brightest young women I’ve ever met. Through the skills I’ve gained through Speech and debate, I have learned rhetoric and critical thinking that I wouldn’t sacrifice for anything else.
Where are you going?
So, as I venture off to Cedarville University in Ohio, I’m excited to answer God’s call on my life to invest in others through Biblical Counseling and music. Counseling has been in my heart for a while, so when Cedarville became an option for college, it was a simple choice for me. With a booming community and daily chapel, this school has stood out to me because of its community and its automatic Bible minor integrated into every student’s life. I have always loved worship, and I hope to grow in my ability to host ‘The Presence’ by inviting and leading others in genuine worship. As God prepares me for His plans, I hope to use the skills I gain from Cedarville to open up my own counseling practice that focuses on a biblical approach to the daily struggles of being human. While I have a plan of how I’d like my life to proceed over the next 4 years, God could easily change my whole path for something else. For I know that if God closes a door for me, a new, better door will surely come.
Nehemiah 8:10
“This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
