Well, I've been in Austin for over two weeks now! That is crazy to think about. We are settled in our apartment (after I rearranged my room within the first week). This photo is the 6 emerging leaders for this year. We are very different with such different passions, but I am so excited to see them all in their element doing what God's designed for them to do. (Left to right: Andrew, PaToya, Dustin, Me, Stephen, Kyndell).
There is so much to do in this city and as I get my bearings, I find myself in awe of how big this city is and the calling on my life here. I am learning so much about myself here... which is great to remember that God doesn't just stop teaching you things outside of the Forge (I can be so naive and ridiculous). But learning a lot... about everything...
In other news... Emily is 1! Crazy that she is that old... but then again, I'm 24. We are only 23 years apart? That doesn't seem that much... Here are a few pictures from her party... I picked ones where she has some attitude and sass. They are much more fun that way. :)
The giraffe cake was homemade by none other than my sister, Homemaker Melissa. Super cool, huh?
