EIGHT MONTHS IN KC!

I absolutely CANNOT believe that I’ve been in Kansas City for eight (9 at the time of publishing) months now!!! God has continued to grow me in all the ways that I never expected. A year ago this time I still had no idea that I’d moved half way across country. I did know that the Lord was going to do something absolutely beautiful though. To be exact this is exactly how I felt 20 something days before I decided to move.

Frustrated.
This was me coming back home yesterday after thanksgiving. I want for this next season to be here already & it's like this transition keeps going on & on. God has really tested my patience, humbled me, and showed me who the heck He is in this last year. Has He been showing you the same thing at all!? The next place is going to be mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually different. A new place.
My question has been "how do I let go" & "what do I need to let go of!?" Maybe I don't need to be asking any questions at all.. b/c everything has already been shed.
Maybe my prayer should just continuously be that God continue to prep me and show me ways to care for and govern myself in this next year.
I am holding onto the fact that He truly has a beautiful plan. There is much He's promised and placed in my heart and I can hold onto that as I transition into this next season of life. ⚡️He always keeps His promises.
⚡️He is with us in the valleys and mountain tops.

⚡️His sovereignty shows us exactly who He is.
Gosh it's been the longest transition of my life. But I'm sure there will be other long ones as well. Thankful for His goodness & the way He shows His mercy.

This time last year I was still floating through transition. I knew that change was coming, but I didn’t exactly know the decisions He’d lead me to make.

The photos shared below are in no specific order of what the last year has been like - just some random fun, sporadic post!

This was one of my favorite reads from this year!! “Leading With a Limp” by Dan Allender

One of the things I prayed for before moving was that the Lord would bring beautiful community & He did. I love being so surrounded by so many young adults who are on fire for Jesus. It truly adds beautiful perspective to this walk with Him.

Arthur got to attend His first conference! HAHA! I am truly so thankful for the leadership I get - it’s made such a difference in how I live my life.

I nannied for a few months when I first got to KC and I got to sit for the funnest little kids. When we went for walks during the summer, we got to see these cows and other animals. We even fed them a few times. Fun fact: the owner is keeping them as pets!

OH MAN!! In the last few months, cooking has been something that I truly enjoy. To be honest I have not always liked cooking - but it’s so relaxing!!!

Friendsgiving with my community group gals!! God shoved me into leading my group and it’s been so amazing do life alongside these ladies!

ooOooo!! I looove fal! I went to this little pumpkin patch and apple orchard twice!!! so so much fun

Got to see these two humans fall in love - pretty cool if you ask me!

God has blessed me immensely with courage this year. I believe in myself, because of all the people He placed around me that believed in me. I’m excited to see what He does as He brings my first year in KC to a close.
