I can't tell you that I know what God has in store for you nor can I tell you that it will be easy all of the time. What I do know, is that God will provide for you and sustain you every step of the way. You will see new ways of living, new perspectives on Scripture you thought you knew well, and new versions of yourself - both good and bad. I worked in the refugee ministry in two locations; in the Middle East and in Europe. Before moving overseas, I studied human rights and international relations with a focus on forced migration. My experiences allowed me to see the refugee crisis up close to better understand and serve those in America when I moved back. Not only that, but I got to do it in a holistic way; caring for their spiritual well-being as well as their physical and emotional needs. Although the path God called me to was unexpected, I wouldn't change it. This season of life was beautiful and foundational in the work that God has called me to next. (Oct. 2024)
