As for me, the LORD has led me on the journey...
It’s true, every step of my life, but especially the last 8 years on the Young Life staff, the Lord has led me on an amazing journey! There have been major inclines to climb and great coasting moments but all in all I have grown and experienced the Lord in ways that blow me away! From starting my internship in a small town I had never even heard of, Pinehurst, being apart of wonderful staff teams with faithful committees and leaders, climbing 14,000 ft mountains, sailing in the Bahamas, mountain biking in Tahoe, to planting roots in Charlotte, it’s been INCREDIBLE. There are so many memories that when I stop to recall all of them I am amazed at what the Lord has allowed me to be apart of.
I have LOVED serving on the Young Life staff over the last eight years. It’s a place I always thought I would stay and then this year the Lord started moving me in surprising ways. I couldn’t put my finger on what He was doing and wanted to understand and follow where He was leading. That’s when I pursued taking an abbreviated sabbatical. Thankfully that was graciously granted and I took six weeks this spring to get away and reflect.
After much prayer and counsel it became clear that the Lord was leading me away from the Young Life staff, at least for a season.
It’s with great anticipation that I enter another stage in my journey. I am saddened to step back from such wonderful relationships but am certain that it’s where I am being led. So I am taking a step “out of the boat” not sure where I am going to land but knowing the Lord is leading me and will keep me afloat.
Thank you for being with me along this journey. Thank you for your friendship, prayers and support. I am honored to have served with you and on your behalf as you gave of your resources. I am blessed to have you in my life and am looking forward to how the Lord continues our relationship!
