Today I am thinking about God's amazing love for me and how much he has blessed me.
Last week was the All Ladies Retreat, of which I was privileged to be on the leadership team! There was so much work lading up to it, but it was exactly what I needed to feel purpose my first month here in Oregon. It went so well and I was able to connect with so many other women. I feel that it was just the start of something bigger for me. I am excited to see all that God does from all the relationships built over the past month or so!
The afternoon we got back from the retreat I crashed (not my car). After A few hour nap I was in my car on my way to meet some friends visiting from California. We met for dinner then went to a magical place called Kennedy School. It's a renovated school building originally built in 1915 which is now a hotel, restaurant, movie theater, bar, brewery, pub, cigar lounge and pool. Seriously. You have to see it to believe it! The three or so hours we spent there were filled with cigar smoking and good drinks... But most importantly, encouraging conversation and prayer. I came home that night so encouraged and excited that God had brought me thus far in my life and amazed that as we align our life to the will of God... He gives us the desires of our hearts. Sometimes not in any way we could have guessed or imagined... But trusting Him is always an adventure!
This week I am going to a few different parties in Portland including a glass fusing class with some of the ladies from the retreat, a 90's throwback party and a co-workers birthday party! Life seems to be picking up... Slowly but surely!
God is faithful!
