Junior year of college is over. My emotions over the year captivate the thought of change. At the beginning of my Resident Shepherd ministry training in August, I was shaken to focus on my identity as a daughter in Jesus above any other role I am given as an ambassador for Him. My mission was [...]
My current writing space spills over with change, a transition, and preparation. It resembles this summer season of my life as I have been home and now get ready to head back to school. Quiet moments have been interrupted with the good gift of family. I have seen the beauty of both solitude and community. [...]
After coming home from church conferences in previous summers, I would be so full of my experiences that it took awhile to truly process everything the Lord was doing in the midst of the weekends. As I have now been home from Liberty University for about two weeks, I am trying to remember all of [...]
