Changes

Well I am sure most of you have heard by now. I have been offered a position in Roseburg to help start a internship at a discipleship program at Garden Valley Christian Assembly in Roseburg. So I will be finishing up this year at Generational Leadership and then I will be moving down in hopefully August. Many people are very excited and some people don't understand my decision. Coming from Roseburg I felt like I could not grow there. I felt hopeless.I turned to pain killers and other self harming habbits. I was so depressed..I was living life with out the Lord. I came in contact with Matthew and Sabrina Schlesinger and walked with them. They suggested I come up to Generational Leadership in Maple Valley. So I came to Generational Leadership. I left behind my family, church and great Young Adult Pastors. I thought I would live here forever. I have had three amazing years up here...I feel content and complete :) I truly have met Jesus and He has healed and restored me. I am walking in places of leadership I thought I would never reach. I have first hand experienced the presence of God. And I would not change that for a thing. I have been approached on a couple different times to move home and my immediate reaction was NO! But when Sabrina called and asked me I had such a deep heart change. I had two weeks to decide. Instantly I already knew my answer. I had a meeting with Pastor Tom and I asked him how do I know if I am making the right decision and He told me that I would feel peace about it. I knew then I was moving to Roseburg. I am very hopeful about this. I know that this is God. My whole family has moved away from Roseburg, I have a few friends down there..but things have changed because I have been away for so long. But I know this is the right thing for me to do. I want to be apart of the change in Roseburg. I want to bring hope to Young Adults. So big changes are ahead for me!

Happy New Year!!!!


I had such a fun New Years. About 30 of us Young Adults from church got together and went to seattle! We had so much fun. We went to Alki beach and ate at Dukes chowder house and then rushed out to go watch the space needle fire works from across the lake. But honestly weren't that great. They kept starting and stopping. But Derek saved the day for the drunk people. He lit a bunch off and got lots of cheers. I think the best part of last night was when we were on our way home. Kyle, Dain, Brettany, Jamee, and I all rode to together. And just about when we got to chris's house we took the guys beanies and we were holding them out the window. I had kyles out the window and brettany pushed it off my hand and his beanie went out the window. Kyle stopped his car in the middle of like a neighborhood intersection. And he told us to go get it. We were laughing so hard we could not get out of the car. And then he gets out of the car and chucks his keys across the street. We were about to wet our pants! Great night! And hey remember
Losing weight in 2008. Thanks Kyle!
