-January 2016-

A new year with many possibilities!!

Lord Willing I will be farewelling from Mountain View on April 9, 2016 it just seems impossible that 16 months will have gone by since I left home on my first adventure by myself and that I actually not only survived but thrived while I was away. Especially considering how scared I was when I left home, but I have gotten to know the people I work and live with every day to the point that they are my family, church, youth group, coworkers, but best of all my friends!!

 

The Lord has taken me on a journey last year that I will never ever forget and looking back I see he worked amazing things in my life the past year. It has not been all roses but through the trials I know he had my best in mind!! I have learned so much about myself and my God while I have been here. It is a very spirit filled year and the Lord has been Good!!!

 

I hope you all make 2016 the best year yet!! Make memories, experience new things, take chances, get out of your comfort zone, but most of all make this a year to grow closer to the Lord. You won't regret it!!

 

~Until Next Time~ Rose Mary
