July Ministry Update

Image
 Hello Friends! Welcome to the first month of ministry post apprenticeship! I am still in awe of all the work God accomplished this past year! As summer ministry has taken effect I have had time to slow down and really take it all in. I truly love what I do and I am so thankful to be staying in Arlington for another year! June has been such a joyful month and I am excited to share what has been happening! Bridgeway Youth Camp! I had the awesome opportunity to attend Student life camp with Bridgeway as one of the camp leaders this year! It was an amazing week and wow did God move in so many lives. Before moving to Arlington I used to co-lead a small group for our youth group, so it was so fun to get to spend a week with those girls! They have each grown in tremendous ways and I am thankful to witness that! I also got to see God work in the heart of my nephew Tyler that week as well! I am so proud of him and his heart for God and others! Summer Focus For summer we pause our campus sp...

June Update

Image
 Hello Friends Wow! What a school year it has been! God has been nothing but faithful and fruitful! I have been spending a lot of time reflecting with God about this past year and there really aren't words to encapsulate how much gratitude I feel for all that he has done.  I want to extend a deep appreciation for those of you who are reading this. You each have made this year possible through prayer, financial and loving support! One of the best parts of ministry is that we get to do it with each other. I am so thankful for those who have helped send me to Arlington. Not only do I love what I do, but I love who I get to do it for. God. I have gotten to experience his character of generosity through each of you and I am so thankful!  With that let's recap the last month of my apprentice year!! (I am officially graduated lol!) As summer is approaching our time with students will be looking a lot different! We will spend a lot of time just hanging out at the pool, playing vo...

May Update

 Hello Friends! April has truly been such a sweet month of ministry at UTA! The end of the year has approached and our students has their first finals starting April 30th! I am really in awe of the Lords goodness this past year. He is benevolent, kind and full of love and grace! It has been so encouraging to see how he has changed the lives of so many this school year and it only makes me more eager for what he will do next year at UTA and TCC!  With that there was a lot that happened as we are ending the 2024-2025 school year with our ministry... so let's recap! First I want to take a moment to share about our staff! I have had the honor to serve UTA alongside these amazing people! They have invested years into the ministry here and I really love working with them! We are headed into a pretty big transition this next year as we are gaining 3 apprentices, but saying bye to two of our longest serving staff at UTA! Will you join me in praying for this next year as we navigate th...

April Update!

Image
 Hello Friends!  I am so excited to share about what happened during the month of March! God is continually faithful and this month I have constantly been reminded of his generosity!  Some exciting news! I will be staying on staff for another year! As you know I have been working at UTA while participating in our apprentice classes but this next year I will be at UTA and TCC (Tarrant County College), a local community college here in the Arlington/Fort Worth area! I am really excited about the work God will be doing this next year! I have been praying over this for several months and God has been so faithful in counseling me on what he is wanting from me!  If you're reading this I want to take the time to thank you for partnering with me in sharing the goodness of God with these students! I would not be able to do it without you! I will be reaching out in the next month to talk more about this with each of you, but again thank you so much!  'I have been crucifie...

March Update!

Image
 Hello Friends! I hope you are all doing well! I am excited to share about the month of February!  This month flew by and felt so sweet with the theme of love being woven throughout it. I have had many conversations with students this month revolving around Ephesians! My core (small group) is doing a book study over it and this week we will be covering Ephesians 2! I am always cut to the heart in this chapter when I read verses 4-10. It is his love and grace that spurs us on to the good works he has prepared for us to do. I hope that can be an encouragement for us all. We cannot earn grace, but from the abundance that his gifted grace brings we are stirred towards living for him. Our "good works" we engage in are a response to the richness of his love and mercy! I hope that as we finish out this school year we may see his goodness woven through every moment!  Outreach! This month I got to start our official weekly outreach on campus! This is a time where we get to meet st...

February Update!

Hello Friends! Let's talk about January! Wow!! What a month! I feel like normally January last forever, but this one flew by. I think this has been my favorite month of ministry so far and I think God is doing some really exciting things! Winter Retreat! Every year our entire ministry comes together for winter retreat! It is a time of sermons, fellowship and lots of fun! This was my third year attending and getting to see what all goes into it from a new perspective just adds a whole new level of appreciation for those who plan it! From across our campuses we had around 700 in attendance! Praise God !  The week after retreat all I could reflect on was the story about Jesus feeding the 5000. I really got to see how much he can do with our "small" efforts. I think to the worlds standards, my small group of 8 girls wouldn't been impressive, but to God? Its so exciting! Each of our small efforts on these campuses led to 700 people praising him together for 4 days! I took ...
