Hi there friends, just wanted to update you all.

So I am currently at home, in good o'l Hartville Ohio :)

I am in a time with God where, I feel grace from him to be intentional about the people close to my heart. I am taking this time as a gift and amazing opportunity from God to really go deep with my family and friends. A lot of people here in my town have played a key role in my life and have guided me to toward Jesus. Some people have played key roles in my walk with Christ, and I am honored to have this time to glean from them and thank them for being in my life and supporting my YWAM trips.

Though I don't feel done completely with YWAM and missions, I am choosing to remain faithful with the tasks God has placed before me and to obey his command to remain here until he releases me.

It has been challenging to be here, and feel God is saying to rest pour into people's lives and draw near to him throughout all of this, finding a job, how much to get involved with church are some of the obstacles I have been facing, but relying on the truth, that "we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus our Lord. " -Romans 8:37

It has been a joy and honor to be home at this time. I know that God is strengthening my foundation in him and shaping me to more look like Jesus.

As far as being with the YWAM Harrisburg PA group, God has closed the doors for me to run with them right now. - :( They are an amazing crew of people and I can't wait to see how God brings me to run with them in the NEAR future! ( my prayer anyways)

Be blessed everyone! :)
