hey beloved friends ᵕ̈

Three years ago…I moved to Jax Beach and joined the mission of Beach Church. Early on, I remember standing in the back corner of the sanctuary one Sunday just asking God to give me His heart for the people…for the place.

He not only did that…but He changed my life through the people I came to serve.

I was accepted into Biola University’s School of Theology. I’ll be spending this next season completing a Masters of Divinity in Messianic Jewish Studies.

Next stop is NYC. I move-fly (made up word but you get the point) tomorrow. Yes, I got that one way ticket. Haha!

And ofc, live life + learn plenty along the way.

Friends, thank you. Many of you became family. And you know how family works…can’t get rid of ‘em. I’ll miss each of you so much.

From Costa Rica to the Middle East and cities in between…I have many more words. I’ll share a blog link soon.

& I’ll see you all again.

Make much of little + love others well.

Shalom ᵕ̈

I used to pray for women in my life like this, and God answered far beyond anything I could have ever dreamed🤍 Thank you Jesus for these women!

“Here is what I have seen to be good: It is appropriate to eat, drink, and experience good in all the labor one does under the sun during the few days of his life God has given him, because that is his reward. Furthermore, everyone to whom God has given riches and wealth, he has also allowed him to enjoy them, take his reward, and rejoice in his labor. This is a gift of God, for he does not often consider the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with the joy of his heart.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭5‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭

This trip was such a blessing and i am so grateful for the opportunity to return to the amazing community of San Ramón. I had such an amazing time creating new friendships and deepening relationships. The mission of FSM is truly inspiring and a beautiful example of how to be an ambassador of Christ. Im forever thankful to this place for allowing me to strengthen my faith and widen my perspective of how God works. I love you San Ramón and FSM ♥️

What an incredible week experiencing every nation, tribe and tongue unified in Jesus Christ. Fellow brothers and sisters united with one mission to share the love of Jesus Christ. How beautiful it is to know our faith is personal but never intended to be private.

To say this trip transformed not only my heart but the way I see God’s global church would be an understatement. How grateful I am to have surrendered my entire life to Jesus Christ. How grateful am I to serve an abundant and mighty God. How blessed I am to be a new creation in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

If this trip taught me anything it’s that we need to slow down. That the things of this world are ever fleeting but God is always constant. That the things of this world (money, sex, possessions, etc.) don’t bring joy, the love of God does. May we never be a hurried people who forgot to constantly remain at the feet of Jesus. May we always remember what Jesus did on the cross.

God, may I always remain sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Thank God that your way is better than mine. Nothing in this life is good if I am apart from you. (Psalm 16:2)
