Accepting The Name

 
In 2018, I made this decision to drop my name and shorten my last name. It was a nice way to start fresh without having to make drastic changes. I didn’t feel like  I was worthy of the name my dad gave me when I was born. Aundria means to be strong, and I was anything but. I wanted to grow into her, with the correct definition of who God created her to be: strong, sure, comfortable. Names are funny, they’re finicky, and it took time, but now this is me. 

This Is Aundria.

Dear Friend,

I am your God fearing, book nerd and retired pageant girl that desires to share the truth of God, teach about friendship, and talk candidly about singleness and being in your late 20s.

The above is a great deal of my purpose while really leaning into being young women of the Lord and living life on earth in “The Garden.” I also seek to help women to first receive the fullness of the Gospel, then teach it and share it! Through teaching and conversations, both topics are meant to point women, all women, back to Christ and understand their identity in Him.

My Faith Journey: I gave my life to the Lord in 2006 at 10 years old and was later baptized as an adult in November of 2018. Since then, I have become intentional about sharing the Gospel and doing so in fun outfits with an open heart. My personal mission starts with a surrendered heart and the desire to do only God’s will, knowing that it always comes back to the cross and the garden.

The Lord has blessed me with incredible opportunities to meet and speak with people globally. I have served in pageantry as Miss New Mexico Teen USA and 3x as a local titleholder with Miss Arizona and Miss New York. I have participated with the LEAP Foundation since 2015 first as a student then coach, speaker and panel moderator. I continue to use my academic skill set of training and development to support infant ministries here in the New York City area. And most recently, my love for love and organization has lead me to offering design support on various weddings.

My Background: As the daughter of a Division 1 Collegiate football coach and retired fire fighter, I am familiar with the intricacies of growing, adapting, and learning new social vernacular. Through these experiences I share these stories, styling tips and the Gospel across all my social media channels. As the oldest sister of 3 girls, teaching and nurturing started to be developed at a young age, and through my relationship with my parents, spiritual parents and women who disciple me, it continues to grow daily.

As of Now: I currently work for COACH as the Associate Manager, NA Retail Training and Development after 6 years of working in stores. If i’m not at work, i’m reading a good book, talking my mom’s ear off, or getting caught in a new TV show. I also love to help people find their personal style and shop alongside them!

So if you’re here, it’s either because you know me (hey there!) or someone introduced you to me (HI!). Either way, thank you! I’m excited for the sparks we will create and the lessons we will learn together.

Be encouraged to live the More than Conqueror life! (Romans 8:31-39).

Cheers,

aundria littlejohn

31 “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.[b35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,“For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

ROMANS 8: 31-39
