I arrived home from Onsite mid-March 2021. I couldn’t wait to share everything with Bryan. What my week in therapy looked like, the things discovered, perspective gained, & tools received to approach my life experiences and relationships (past, present, & future) in a whole new way.
I also couldn’t wait to share the sermons I had listened to. How they met me in the exact place the last few years had left me in. How they encouraged my soul. The beginning of how the Lord brought me back to a place of grace, compassion, & forgiveness from the hurts the last few years had left me in.
March 2021 signifies the reigniting of my passion, my purpose, & getting un-trapped. To step into this season of healing and actively being all that I know I am and who I am called to be.
It also signifies growth in our marriage - great vulnerability, new language, & the beginning of making a plan with our big dreams. We began not just dreaming, but actively pursuing this life we wanted for ourselves. Separate & together - we dreamed, we studied, we researched, we processed what this really looks like. How do we get out of this place of being stagnant? What does taking steps of faith actually look like?
Thanks to the Pandemic & our cancelled trip to Mexico, we had flight credits to use. After 6 months of prayer, research, & discussion - we planned a quick trip to Portland, OR.
September 24, 2021 we hopped on a flight & off we went to the PNW. With big expectations, yet half afraid that all we had built up in our minds the last 6 months would turn into utter disappointment upon our arrival and exploration. Turns out, this is what an active step of faith looks like. And our expectations would be greatly exceeded!
