Living in His love: 2010

As 2010 comes to an end I'm taking some time to look over the year and focus on all God has blessed me with throughout it and all that I have learned.......This year has literally shaped me and stretched me in ways I never imagined it could.....I have had so many new experiences, learned so many different things about myself, have grown so much in my walk with Christ, and have made so many memories that will not be forgotten soon......here are some of my highlights from the year......

I got to be a part of a ridiculously AMAZING cast for the play "Joseph of Arimathea"......this experience literally brought me closer to Christ than anything else ever has....

I had THE best spring break this year in Siesta Key, Florida with my best friend Brittany and her very very cool family (:

I got my first job this March at Culvers!! Still work there and am really loving it!!

I got the chance to lead MANY wild, crazy, tiny girls at a dance camp that my good friend puts together every year.....her organizational skills are wayyy beyond me and I loved putting it together with her and watching the joy those little girls have all week.

For the first time, I got to be a counselor at Camp Adventure!!! I had been waiting for that moment to come for a long, long time and let me tell ya- it was amazing!!

I went on my first (and second) mission trips this summer!! Both were with the GSM team- one to Chicago and one to Nashville. LOTS of hard work, but also LOTS of new friends, memories, and a way bigger grasp of what it means to have a servant's heart.

I got to go on a two week long road trip out to the west with my friend Allison! On this trip I realized on a wayyy bigger level just how much God reveals His beauty to us in nature....
