Listening and Reflecting

Well, New York was amazing, incredible, life-changing, unforgettable, etc. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'll be back soon. very soon. [smile]

The memories that I will never forget.....

  • Seeing my teammate help a little boy.
  • Ministering to people through my henna tattoo

  • Praying with a lady from Europe outside a restaurant

  • Having a passionate conversation about the state of our country with Kelly, Chris, Mark, and Gabe.
  • Eating Chipotle for the first time! yum!
