So, I moved to California. I’ve sat down to write this post a few times, and I’m still having a hard time finding the right words. I’ve never been so busy or stressed as I’ve been, but I’ve also never grown so much. I’ve grown as a person, a leader, and, most importantly, a follower of Jesus.
I’m learning how to not just lead a ministry, but how to love people.
I’m learning how to not serve my preferences, but how to serve the needs of my church.
I’ve met incredible people. Some I don’t remember what life was like before them.
I miss some incredible people. I never knew I was so tied to my friends.
Life here is different. Good, but different. I have a new appreciation for my family and friends. I have a greater understanding of what grace looks like. The power a second chance can have.
My life is much different than what I would have written for myself, but I guess that’s part of why I’m not the author. Moving forward in faith is unsettling, uncomfortable, and even frustrating. Most of all, it’s been a confirmation. Confirmation that God is in control and truly knows me better than myself. Amen.
So, life is good and crazy and beautiful. If I had to sum the last months up in a few words, it’d be these:
God is faithful.
One.Love

I’ve read this several times and want you to know my prayer has always been that God would help you realize your full potential and our dreams personally, spiritually, and professionally. I’m proud of you! We sure miss you but know the gain is you’re growing as a leader at NHC and pouring yourself into what you are doing in Clovis. God will continue to bless you as you seek Him. Continue to focus on the quality of the relationships you are building with your friends! Yes God is faithful, that says it all, so true. Love You.
