I’ve been reflecting today and need to say how grateful I am. Life has felt heavy at times, but with God and this community, it doesn’t feel that way right now. An unexpected job opportunity came my way, one I wasn’t even looking for but couldn’t pass up, and the welcome I’ve received has been incredible, almost too good to be true. The best part is that it still allows me to stay connected with Tara and with Connect Belong. I’m reminded that sometimes we have to walk through the refiner’s fire to truly shine and see the beauty that comes from the hard. I just wanted to share that.
