Callie Fuller is currently a junior in college who is majoring in marketing and hoping to honor the Lord by pursuing a career in business like her mother. She is 21 currently, and still single, yet waiting on the Lord to provide the right guy. Whether she will meet that guy at Dallas Baptist University, the college she currently attends, or later on in life, she does not know. In the meantime however, you can find her enjoying her college life by participating in an inner city ministry with SOULFIRE ministries where she helps at an inner city kids club or helping set up and clean up every Wednesday for Nooners at the Baptist Student Ministry. When not involved in one of these two ministries, you can find her blocking balls as DBU�s goalie for the Lady Patriot Soccer team, although she originally came to school on an indoor/outdoor track scholarship. Callie enjoys DBU greatly as not only has she been allowed to learn more about business of marketing, but also about the business of life, which she centers around Jesus Christ, her Lord and Savior. She sees DBU as a place where she is treated as a child of God by her professors and her peers which has helped her grow tremendously. Her two best friends at DBU are conveniently named Lindsay. One Lindsay�s last name is Tartaglia while the other one�s is Waisner. So she conveniently dubbed them LT and LW, although both Lindsay�s used to compete for the right to be called Lindsay #1.
Callie has recently had two opportunities she will probably never forget. She was a volunteer at the Billy Graham Crusade as well as KLTY�s Freedom 2002 concert. Both of these events help describe Callie�s spirit, the spirit of a servant. While others were being ministered too, she was giving her time to make it all possible. This attitude is the same she displays to many of her friends and in the inner city apartment complexes. She has a quality that is rare. She does not demand to be the leader, but rather stands by the leader�s side in full support.
After knowing where Callie is currently at, it is of interest to look where she came from. Callie graduated from Wylie High School in the spring of 2000 in the top 25% of her class. She was also in the National Honor Society and won the principal�s Pirate Pride Award. While she was at WHS, Callie competed in cross country, volleyball, softball, power lifting, basketball, soccer, softball and track. She was awarded in many of these sports but favors her time going to state in weight lifting due to all the hard work and early hours she put in to achieve this. While she was on the Wylie soccer team, she also made it to Sweet 16 in state and went to regionals all four years in cross country. She was a captain in both soccer and cross country. Although it appears she would be extremely busy while participating in all these things, Callie also found the time to let her sports life honor God as she helped lead the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at her School alongside Coach Big Daddy William who was an inspiration to her.
Not only in sports did Callie strive to glorify God. As in the past and present, the center of her life is her relationship with Jesus Christ. During high school she was a member of First Baptist Church Wylie where she made the commitment to be a model Proverb�s woman seeking God�s pleasing and perfect will for her life. Callie has made the rare commitment in life to stand apart from the crowd in all areas of her life as she did in the pressures of her public school and will continue to do throughout her life. One example of this commitment can be in her vow to stay pure until marriage which some refer to as, �True Love Waits.� Though she did not have to, she has chosen to honor God with all her heart, soul, mind and strength and allowed her friends, family, God, herself and future husband to stand as her witnesses to this cause. Even her most memorable moment reflects her love for Jesus. Callie will never forget her trip with her sister Cassie and her best friend, Lindsay Tartaglia. During this trip the girls found themselves in the Oklahoma Mountains backpacking, being crazy, making up songs and doing a Bible study from the New Testament class Lindsay had taken that spring. Worshipping in God�s creation was one of the most liberating times in her life, and leaves you with the best image one can give for Callie Fuller, an open, willing vessel with open arms looking towards the sky waiting for God to use her. |
