I began this process to create a platform that promotes positivity, encouragement, and support as a way to be open and honest about the struggles that societal pressures have drawn us so deep into. Being a young adult, a female, an athlete, a girlfriend, a Christ follower, I have found myself over these last 3 years of college in places I never thought I would. Places that are not pretty, are not talked about, and places that honestly never made sense to me… until I was there. It has been in these places in my life where I have felt the farthest yet grown the closest to Jesus. And I realized in all of these times I was choosing to place my “identity” in something other than Him. In each of our lives there are all these things that we view about ourselves that “define” us as “who we are”....But somewhere along the line we stopped listening to our own beliefs and our own confidence and have allowed the world to tell us that the way we look, or what we accomplish, or what our social media feeds look like define who we are as people and tell us what our worth is. Fueling my Faith was created to of course make and share good food but in a way that promotes positive self love, body image, and self esteem, rooted in God's unwavering love for us. Remembering that this body is merely my earthly vessel to work for the mission of God, and not “who I am”.
