Life Update

Many of my blog readers (cricket cricket) may be wondering what I have been up to for the past 4 months in Fishers. I'm sorry to inform you that my post California time has no all been productive. My first 2 months were pretty blah. All I did was work, sleep, hang out with my little brother, and eat. I barely made it out of the house to hangout with real live people. I really missed the glory days of my college years where I was surrounded by all of my friends and every night was an adventure. I just didn't even feel like putting myself out there in Fishers and making an effort. I had been church shopping and hadn't found anywhere that felt like home. My few joys were driving all the way down to bloomington to see all of my old college friends. After 2 wasted months of my life had past, I decide enough was enough. I wasn't growing or being challenged and I spent so much time at home that my little brother who plays video games all day started making fun of me.

Despite being an overwhelmingly huge church, I started going to East 91st church. I got connected in one of their small groups in my area. I put myself put there and met some pretty cool people. Now I get to meet and hangout with people my age who are in the same area of life as me. Through that small group I met a pretty cool girl, Erin, who introduced me to this organization called Faith, Hope, and Love. Their vision is

"Building communities of Faith, Hope and Love through facilitating active participation of local communities in improving neighborhoods and by helping those in need. We come together with one purpose: to love God and to love our neighbors."

They are pretty radical in a good way! Right now I'm in their BIblical Foundation and Training Class. We meet once a week, and my small group has the most amazing women of faith on the planet. I am being challenged, trained, and equipped to love and lead people to Jesus and it is so amazing. More to come on them later.

For a while I was second guessing myself in thinking that I had made a mistake leaving California, but I know now that God has me here for a purpose and is instilling dreams and a vision in me. This is my season of rediscovering God's glory in Indianapolis my home town none the less.
