Year One Reflections
It’s hard to believe I’ve been here for a full year! Thinking about this milestone, I put together five questions to help me reflect on the things that really define what the Lord has done and where he is leading me next. 1. How have you changed most between day one and today? Comparing day one to today, the biggest change is a deeper sense of security in my identity in Christ.

One of the really exciting things this past month that I was able to be a part of was continuing to grow and develop the relationships that I have with my local church community. We were able to go on a hike together, and it was so much fun to be able to just continue to get to know people and build up those relationships the Lord's given me here. It's been really encouraging to feel more and… Read more >>
