How have I grown?
I have grown in many ways; thanks be to God! I have learned lots of skills and life lessons, while also growing in self-awareness and self-gift. My intimacy with the father has deepened and my understanding of who I am as his beloved daughter has grown stronger. I’m beyond grateful for His Divine Providence in bringing me out to the CRC and for all the ways in which I have been formed and grown in my time here, and for all the ways God will continue to help me grow!

How have I seen the Lord working in my life?
I have seen the Lord working very intentionally on my heart over this past year. He’s really been showing me the beauty and goodness in all the emotions I experience, and how He wants me to bring all of what I’m feeling to Him. He has also been teaching me how to better love myself and others, which in turn has helped me to better embrace the gift that I am, and that others are to the world.
