Psalm 116:7 - At rest once more

"Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you."
- Psalm 116:7

I am back in Boone, NC - it has been a whirlwind of an adventure and transition back here to the beautiful mountains. It has been one of the fastest transitions I've ever made. I am trying ever so much to take it one step at a time and truly abide in God's Spirit more than anything and I can honestly say that God is faithful and has met me with every ounce of strength, energy, and peace that I have needed as I zoomed back here after ending my Internship in D.C. on thursday evening and began the IJM AppState leadership retreat on Friday. God showed up in wonderful and mighty ways during the retreat - something I've never lead before - which is just testament to God and his strength in our weakness. The leaders are so excited for the year and I cant wait to watch God unravel their passions.

Anyways - I also have started my work at Gladiola Girls - the womens clothing/jewelry boutique here in Boone, NC and it was so fun and sweet. I can already feel and see God moving on my heart for the women who wil be coming to the store and just his heart for us as his disciples to live intentionally in community. So that is what I am doing. Thats who I am - His disciple. No matter where I go and what I do God is my security and my refuge and he calls me His beloved. So here I am now in Boone instead of D.C. being his beloved by the empowerment of his holy spirit.

I will have more to share soon - just awaking to a new day here in the High Country and so thankful for all God is calling me to here as it unfolds. Keep me in your prayers - please pray for me and my new room mates - Kelly Scott and Kelly Harry - they are powerhouses for the Lord and love him so much and I know he has great plans for all of us to minister together and to be servants and allow our apartment to be a place of refuge and shelter for those who are in need. Also pray for me and my heart as I hold loosely to my ideas of how God wants to use me and allow my hands to be just fully open and willing to do whatever daily deeds God prompts in me through his Spirit. I'm also praying Psalm 90:12 -

"Teach us to make the most of our time, so that we may grow in wisdom."

Thanks for taking this journey with me. I am excited to see God as He moves in these next ste
