Something New

The past few months have been incredible.

They have been challenging, faith-building, difficult, easy, peace-filled, emotional...most of all, they have been marked by change.

Just a few months ago I was living at home, finishing up at Biola, working at my home church in LA...

today everything is different.

I am living on my own (actually, with a really great roommate!), done with school and on staff at a fantastic church in Orange County...continuing to do what I love.

A very interesting thing about this change has been how I much I loved my life the way it was. I would have been completely happy to continue on where I was. Really, things are never and will never be perfect. But I had found that I was pleased with my with the way things were, content and in a really comfortable place. God challenged all of that.

God gave me no wiggle room and He (at all costs) showed me that He wanted to stretch me and that these changes were a part of the process that will lead me to becoming the woman He wants me to be.

It has been unbelievable to see God's hand move and provide and establish His will.
