Hello again! I know I've taken a blogging hiatus, but I'm back at it!

Brief updates:

1st - A HUGE thank you so all who have loved and supported and prayed for me during these last 2 years! No matter the depth, I appreciate you deeply.  

2nd - I have held off writing because I thought in time I would process my year abroad and would be able to speak of it succinctly and wisely.  Instead, life continues to happen, I continue to learn new things from old adventures, and my interpretations and views continue to shift.  I know I will never write pure truth and wisdom, but i'll let you into the process while I'm figuring it out.

3rd - Life has led me to move to Gainesville, Georgia! I am currently enrolled in a program called Center for Global Action (CGA).  It is a 5 month leadership school offered by Adventures in Missions, the organization that began the World Race.  It is geared toward cultivating servant leadership, developing spiritual maturity, and creating humans who live out what they believe and then invite others into it. 

Why CGA?

In the past couple years I have felt more alive than ever before.  I have known greater joy, as well as greater sorrow.  I have let life in and experienced fullness and depth.  I have learned to live abundantly, and it is something I full-heartedly desire for everyone. 

While I enjoyed partnering with organizations around the world, I saw the most growth and power on our squad.  I saw a group of humans who learned what it meant to live abundantly and love deeply.  And then I saw that knowledge and freedom empower them to live lives they hadn’t previously imagined. 

My heart is to step into leadership in this setting and be a part of creating free and fully alive young adults that will love recklessly, live boldly, and ultimately impact the world.

I know I will never be done growing, but I want to flesh out a few core concepts before helping others walk through it.  I am seeking knowledge, confidence, and growth.

Whether I eventually lead a World Race or simply learn how to better love those around me, I believe these few months will be good.
