The New Intern!

Hey guys, 
My name is Emily Barnett (formerly Welch) and I am interning with the campus ministry CSF this year.  I was with the ministry for a couple years while I was at UIS, and am stoked to be back as a staff member along with Todd and Gretchen Magruder and David and Lindsey Lasley.

A little about me: I was just married in May to JB (who is also involved in CSF), we live in Springfield, IL, I graduated with a bachelors degree in Visual Arts, I paint occasionally, My favorite food has been chicken and spinach lately, but I love to bake cupcakes.  I am kind of disorganized (which I hope to get better at this year) and I want to faint at the thought of public speaking.  I like pixar movies, I sing sometimes and I read even more.  I like to write, hence the blog, and take pictures, hence the pictures on the blog.  But I am mostly in love with my Savior and the story He is writing in my life that weaves into the lives of everyone else in this world.  What a humbling and amazing opportunity to be used for something greater than myself.  And on that note.. I am definitely done talking about myself.

Please subscribe to this blog to get updates about our ministry and how it is changing the lives of the students, the staff and our community at UIS.  There will be student writers and staff guest starring to keep you all updated on how the ministry is going!
