Hey everyone, just wanted to give you all a quick update because I LIVE IN GEORGIA! It still feels like I’m living in a dream and I cannot believe it, BUT the Lord is so faithful always. Sitting inside the AIM base and realizing that I’ve known I’d be here for 14 months now and praying for it for even longer than that was one of the most surreal moments of my life. I cannot believe how good the Lord is and how well He has prepared me for this season in ways that I didn’t even realize!!

I have a stronger sense of peace here than I ever have before, and I am so thankful. I know it can’t be anything other than the Lord because in the moments that I should be most frustrated or anxious or worried, I have an absolute calmness in my spirit that honestly can’t be explained. 

I am so thankful for everyone that got me to this point through prayer, financial support, encouragement, and just loving me so well through transition. I am so confident that this is exactly where the Lord wants me and I can’t imagine choosing anything else for this season. While it was hard to say no to college and a normal beginning to young adult life, it is so evident to me now, on a Monday night sitting in a room listening to my new family and community worship the Father with passion and surrendered hearts, that I have never felt more at home!!

I am so excited for all the Lord has for us in ministry, but I am finding such sweet ways to rest in what he has for my squad right NOW, in a season of waiting and preparation. Yesterday, we had the opportunity to Sabbath, and the rest and closeness with the Father that came from intentional time of nothing was exactly what I needed. I am coming out of a super busy season of summer events and goodbyes and lasts, and while it was a FUN last three months, I was exhausted by the time our car rolled onto campus last Saturday. It is so cool to see the way that the Lord led our leaders toward encouraging us to intentionally rest because it was exactly what I needed! 

I’m finding so much joy in getting to know my amazing team (TEAM HAVEN WOO WOO) and our sweet team leader Morgan (ily morgan hehe)! We are learning to love each other so well and are teaching and learning from each other in the most beautiful ways. It’s so clear that the Lord put us together with so much purpose and intention, and I am so excited to tell you so much more about these sweet women so soon!!

I love you all so much and please continue to pray for my squad and everyone here on the AIM campus right now!! Pray for healthy bodies and a COVID-FREE campus for the next few weeks! Pray that our hearts would be open to the ways the Lord is ready to change and grow and shape us to get us ready for all the ministry and encounters He has prepared!

Speaking of ministry…… a FUN announcement!!!!!! my squad is going to LOUISIANA! We will get the chance to work with Samaritan’s Purse for the last two weeks of October and help with some of the hurricane relief efforts happening there! We will need lots of prayer and I can’t wait to tell you more about this also!! Praise God for this opportunity & for a chance to love and serve these people that have experienced so much disaster! 

Thank you so much for reading, its been 2 days and I already have so much to say soooo…… BUCKLE UP!!

His love + mine,
