Welcome to my new blog. I am excited to take this journey through God's word. In our church, I am learning to SOAP through God's Word. It is has been fun so far. As part of my Go Missions Equipping, I am required to SOAP six days and serve others, not to mention learn my memory verse, pray with my prayer partner and honor my parents.

This blog will take you through my journey as well as share my insight. I hope you are blessed.
