In 2015 I... -worked at the hospital -overcame my fear of the highway -moved out on my own -hiked 20 new trails -started Wyldlife at Judson Middle School -joined the team @ St Thomas Covenant Church PLUG: If you live in Salem and are looking for a good community text me so we can get coffee. -got a new job Im excited about (!!!!) -went to my first beaver game -passed my state licensing exam for P&C -went to China This was the year of hard work, no sleep, pure joy, and new things. Cheers to the friends who have loved me well through it all. You are truly a gift from God. God used this year to do a work in my heart. I learned to be softer, more faithful, and trust a plan I couldn't see in front of me. The headline of 2015? Wyldlife at Judson Middle School. Need a quick explanation about what wyldlife is? https://www.younglife.org/ForEveryKid/WyldLife/Pages/WyldLifeLearnMore.aspx This summer one of my favorite people, Adanya, called me from work crew at Washington Family Ranch. In our conversation she told me "lil, all of my friends just got back from camp with their Wyldlife kids-- I want that!" This young woman I had been mentoring wanted more. You can't say no to that! I immediately texted my friend Nat and asked him to pray about it. Through a chain of events I can only describe as perfectly planned by God- In September I was the head leader at a new school with a team of people I truly love. Three months has been more than enough evidence that we have been purposed to be here at this school. So I am running, not walking, into 2016 because God isn't finished with us yet - the race is not yet won, and the work is plenty. Happy New Year! Lily
