Finished my master’s yesterday 🥹

An often unglamorous and quiet journey tucked behind the chaos of the past 4 years of my life.

Faith looks different to me now than it ever has, but it’s more real than it’s ever been. So grateful for @westernseminary 🧡

2025… you could not pay me money to do this year again… 😂

But if I’ve learned anything in the past few years, it’s that rarely do we find good things without hardship, growth without adversity, joy without grief. And so this year, while challenging, held some of the most beautiful moments too. Lots of learning, lots of pure joy, lots of home projects and trips and music and things I’m really really proud of.

That sunset at the end is from Big Sur - a trip that landed shortly after maybe the hardest 2 weeks of my life. A bucket list spot for me, accidentally perfectly timed, after a last minute campsite pivot we stumbled upon the trail to this little lookout. One of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen, and fulfilling for me on more levels than I can put in this little caption. When I look back on that moment - the pain of that season is all wrapped up in my memory with the pure joy and wonder and awe too. I’m learning life is just that - often the best things and the worst ones intertwined. And what a gift it is to live it all. 🤍
