Well hello, friends!  I'm Raylyn (or Ray Ray, or Raylizzle, or Raylondo, or Ray, or "hey you," or any other name people see fit to call me...).  Most people know me as that Pipeline chick.  Probably because I am.  I'm on the leadership team there and my official title is "Production Coordinator," or, you know, something to that extent.  Really what that means is that I help facilitate everything that needs to be done on the stage.  And I jump up there as often as possible, too.  :)  I volunteer as a camp counselor, too.  I love it.  Apart from Pipeline I'm a senior at Cal State Fullerton where I will be recieving my BA in Public Relations in May.  Wooo!  I work at Starbucks as an intense barista and I also work/volunteer at the Orange County branch of the American Cancer Society as an intern.  Crazy!

Here are some questions that I can answer so you can get to know me a little better!

What motivates you in your Christian life?

What motivates me most to walk with Christ is the incredible love and grace that I have been shown.  I tend to mess things up a lot and it would be SO much easier if I could just follow God.  But I am amazed that He is willing to forgive me and try again even after I've made the same old dumb mistake again.  That love is amazing and I want everyone to expereince it.

What is your best Pipeline memory?

Well, I could recount one of the many mishaps on stage which keep me laughing even now, but i must say that some of my best memories have taken place at camp.  I love getting to know these young people on such a deep and personal level.  Those relationships and bonds that I have formed with them have carried through to Pipeline, giving me so many memories of excellent conversation and growing moments.

 How do you manage to be realtional every week with our young Pipeline friends?

Two words: bear hugs.  haha.  I must admit that things get pretty hectic sometimes.  But I always try to stop for a moment and ask a Pipeline-r how his or her week went.  Also through worship time.  I love acting crazy with these kids.
