Profile: Samantha Rene Hulse – AKA: Sammie, Sam

Sam is one of my closest friends. It is her love of gum and her initiative that brought us together (but we’ll go into that more later). I love being able to talk about anything, let my true feelings and ideas be known, and not feel judged by her. Sam is just as crazy as me, so when we’re together, you might want to just stand back.

How I met Samantha Hulse

It was at church. I had seen her playing with the worship team, but I had never talked to her and I didn’t even know her name. About three months after I had been going to the church, I got back from a trip and she asked me, “Do you have any gum? By the way, I’m Sam.” Little did we know that God saw fit for us to be the best of friends.

One reason I like Samantha Hulse

She is an amazing listener. No matter what is going on in your life, she is willing and able to sit and listen. She isn’t just a bystander either, she really cares for people. If you’re hurting or scared, she feels it right along with you. If you’re happy or excited, she is, too.

One memory I have of Samantha Hulse

Oh my goodness, there are so many to choose from. The greatest memory that I can think of right now is on one of our many trips to school in Irvine. We were driving, talking and sharing and we realized that the reason why we were doing all of this was because God knew we needed to be best friends. Apparently he thought the only way to make that happen was to put us in a car together for 4 hours once a month. An odd approach, but it has produced some amazing memories.

Samantha Hulse in one word
