Dear Family and Friends,
"Like a shadow declining swiftly...away...like the dew of the morning gone with the heat of the day; like the wind in the treetops, like a wave of the sea, so are our lives on earth when seen in light of eternity." Ruth Bell Graham
I read this quote in my devotional this morning and felt the urge to share it with you all. Reflecting on these words, I am reminded to enjoy the present day - allowing God to open my eyes to the beauty and blessings that He has gifted because - in viewing with the eyes of eternity - this life is just a blip on the map. I pray that you see God's hands at work today and experience His love and joy:)
Thank you for your continued encouragements, love, prayers, and support; I am so grateful for you all, and I wouldn't be here without you.

I am so excited to share this project with you all - although, some of you who attend Refuge Church in Willmar, Minnesota, may have already seen this in person:) This spring I was asked to help design welcome signs for Refuge Church as we welcomed a new lead pastor into our family. For the design, I drew a colorful, abstract flower and assisted in formatting. It is so fun for me to see my work come to life and see how the Lord is using my creative gifts to serve Him! I can't wait to see what He has in store for me:)

Thank you so much for all of your continued prayer support! These last months have been absolutely transformational. In the midst of my healing, God has been clarifying my passions and reminding me of my strength in Him. The process of life is a journey of ups and downs, but in the midst of continuing to grow me, I am so grateful for God's constant embrace and His gift of supportive community.
Prayer Requests:
- God continues to heal me and heal me well.
- God gives me clarity for the next steps in my life.
- God gives Emma (a woman I met in LA) clarity for the next steps in her life.
- For Refuge Church, as they begin to prepare for VBS at the beginning of June (which I am very eager to be volunteering with).
- For CCLA (the church plant in LA that I am assisting) that God would bless them abundantly.
- That I see God daily and remember Him in everything that I do.

Thank you to all who prayed for me while I was in LA this past month. To remind you, I was in LA assisting a church plant - Christ Church LA (CCLA) with establishing their social media presence. It is hard to describe my experience in words, but God pleasantly surprised me:) I was nervous that I would be wrestling with my anxiety and depression as this was the first big trip I have taken since returning to the states, but - praise God - I didn't experience either one. Rather, I was loving welcomed into a community in which I thrived. I made connections with people from the CCLA congregation and am excited to see these friendships blossom, walked around the neighborhood of LA taking photographs and felt safe, intensely worked on designing all week which I loved, and had the opportunity to grow in friendship with the AT3 founder (who is now planting CCLA) and his wife. My heart is warm and cozy thinking of this trip; I am so grateful for this beautiful gift that God has given me and am eager to see where it goes.
