Hey!!! My name is Meredith Evert. I was born and raised in Harrisburg, PA. I have been a "christian" all my life but never really knew what it meant to know God. As a child I had a passion of serving but as I grew up and the world slowy took over my life I became confused and discouraged. Going to retreats and such with my youth group was always a good time but when we left so did my faith. Last summer as I was trying to figure out where to go to college. I started looking at a school called Nyack College in NY but at the time nursing was not a major so I continued the search for a school. The point of the story is God knew where I would end up because Nyack called me a month later and told me they just began the nursing program. Still being in my rebellious stage, I was excited for the adventure but never expected what God would do through me there. My world was thrown upside down. As my world was changing, my heart was breaking. He brought people into my life that I am so blessed to have in it and I know we will forever be friends. I learned what it meant to be loved and fall in love with God. If loving meant surrendering, surrendering was what I wanted to do. Surrendering my life over to Him is so meaningful to me I cannot explain the overwhelming feelings in my heart. God put a burning passion into my heart and I never want to go back to the person I was. All I want to do is serve God being his hands and feet and loving all of his people. I am so excited to see what God is going to do through these next 3 months. Honestly I am a bit anxious and nervous to go, but I know He has me and there is no better feeling than following God with everything you have. I completely am relying on Him.
