- The close-knit, welcoming community/body of Christ. Kaitlin and I have felt so embraced and loved in such a short amount of time. Everyone from the staff to the students have been a major blessing!
- The nurture and investment of others who are committed to see my grow into me position. I cannot stress how amazing this is! I feel like I am being discipled into my job by very wise people, which I greatly appreciate. At the same time, I feel trusted as a leader of the youth group.
- The snapshot of the world in such a small place. Irvine is VERY culturally diverse. Almost every major ethnic culture is represented here, and it is refreshing. I am forced out of my tunnel vision and thrust into a global mindset.
- Gelson's Market! Have you ever been here? Seriously, you must go! It's like a gourmet shopping market. Coffee shop, salad bar, groceries, and pastries! Google it.
- Hanging out with awesome students for a living. This is rad. The guys and girls are rad. Let me tell you... it's rad!
- Boba. Everywhere...BOBA!
- Parents who go out of their way to let me know that they are glad I am here and they are available to help anytime. This is probably every youth worker's dream. I am so impressed.
- The fact that I have had sushi twice in the last week with people from the church. So good!
- Meetings at Strawberry Farms. Nice.
I praise God for the many blessings in my life, at my new church home, and in my relationships. My he receive the glory and not me. May I rejoice in his goodness and faithfulness, even when it is difficult to be thankful.
