Okay so I have been in Gainesville for about a week now and loving it! The day after I arrived there was an office wide bowling event so that was a fun thing to do to get to know this group of people that God has me building community with.
The leaders for the Real Life trips going out arrived last Friday and we headed out to go camping. We headed up into the mountains for a two night campout complete with trees, prayer, and naturally…sessions on leading trips. It was a great time for me and the Lord helped me to realize my need for solitude.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Psalm 23:2-3
It was also a really fun time, Kayla washed her hair in the creek and then she helped me wash mine.
It was a good time!!! Now the students have arrived and it’s game on, we are helping run this traing camp, with the cooking and what nog. Today I had my first bulk grocery store shopping experience, it made me appreciate my dad and Kim a whole lot more haha! It was a HOOT!
So, exactly a year ago today I was leaving home for the first time and coming here to training camp. It is so bizarre to be here again and to be on the other side of things. God is so good and has taken me to a place I never could have imagined. Thank you all so much for your support, please continue to pray for me and the leader team as we prepare to leave for Mexico in a couple of weeks, as well as lifting up this group of leaders and students about to head out from camp in the next couple of day.
Sorry this post was kind of all over the place, just wanted to give y’all and idea of what I’ve been up to…and it’s kind of been all over the place. An amazing “all over the place”
Grace&Peace

It is so wonderful to be able to hear all that you are learning. God is so good! I am overwhelmed with praise for Him for all that He is doing in and through your life!
