In some ways the last two years have flown by, and in other ways my "old life" seems so long ago. The journey of my "new life" has been so full of excitement and the joy of new beginnings, but also fear and uncertainty at times. Through it all the Lord has provided more than I ever imagined possible. Though I am still experiencing more change and newness than I am comfortable with, I am so grateful to be where I am. I am grateful for provision and for perspective. Grateful for such a loving and supportive community, and grateful to get to do something I love in such a beautiful space. Thank you to The Very Best family and friends who support me and continue to come to my rescue. I am overwhelmed by how well you love me. Thank you to all The Merc fans all over the country that are so generous to share your kind words of support, whether in person, or through email and social media. You encourage me more than you know.
