An update and Encouragement

Its been a while since Ive posted anything so I thought I would update you guys. I moved out of my parents house and into a house with 5 other sisters and I graduated high school. I now am in college and in a completely new ministry. These past few months have been some of the hardest and most stressful of my life, but they also have grown me the most. The Lord is teaching me SO much while I live here with all of these girls. Its been so great to learn how to love them each individually. In the midst of all of the change, He has given me peace and is challenging me to Trust him more and more every day. This has been on heart and mind lately so i thought I would encourage you all with it.

"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophesies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil. May God himself, the God of Peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24

Here are photos from a month or to ago when we decided one night to drive to Chicago and spend the next whole day there exploring just because we can! It was one of the most freeing feelings ever and I loved spending it with my roommates!
