1 Year

In 2 days August 9th will mark the 1 year anniversary of my move from New York to Chattanooga. It doesn’t seem possible that I have been gone for that long and at the same time it feels like another lifetime. God has proven faithful through my arrogance and pride and brought me unto a new humility. There was such an extreme sense of my self worth and value that was gracefully broken. I placed such a large degree of success and approval on my abilities and talents and neglected to recognize how important reliance upon Christ’s redemptive work would be for my life.

Coming to Chattanooga and leaving New York and all of my dear friends, family, and church community may have been the most difficult sacrifice of my life up to this point. The spirit of God is doing a great work in those people and in the midst of their communities and I look forward to a reunion with them!!! I am excited to periodically hear of how the Kingdom of Heaven is advancing in their lives and in their homes. God has proven to do a good work in me and I have been adopted into a new community! I am encouraged by his faithfulness and his relentless love and grace. Chattanooga has been and I believe will continue to be an incredibly formative stage within the journey that is my walk with Christ.

I am excited to walk into the next year with an open mind and heart as I can’t begin to fathom how great and wide the love of the Father is for our lives! It is overwhelming to consider the events of the last year and the opportunities the Lord has placed in front of me and I long for the moment to reunite with my beloved community and hear of how the Lord has moved faithfully among you and I will continue always to lift you up in prayer before the Lord. Thank you all for your support and prayers throughout this last year!

I truly Love You!
