Several years ago, my lovely sister Melissa (aka: Angel Princess) got a tattoo in Arabic that says, “the only way out is through.”  Most of our family’s ethnicity is rooted in the Syrian and Lebanese cultures, so I thought the tattoo was really awesome.  But…

When I moved to Texas, I was scared that I’d be isolated, landlocked, and culture shocked. . I thought I’d have to figure out my own way and fight hard to make new friendships. . But God is so faithful... and I am learning that he really is a good Father who loves to give good gifts to his kids. He wants to provide for my needs, he knows the desires of my heart, he understands the struggles I face, and he’s invested in every single detail of my day-to-day. . Today I spent this rainy Austin morning eating breakfast tacos and drinking coffee with a sweet new friend who really loves Jesus, hiking barefoot through the woods, and spontaneous adventuring. . It’s during mornings like these when I am reminded of how well I am known, cared for, and loved by a kind and gracious God who sees me and is sovereign over every circumstance. . Cheers to new cities, new friends, and new seasons - and breakfast tacos.
After two fast-paced and intense weeks of job training and observations, today marks my FIRST official day of work! . Please join me in praying for... . • the girls we are caring for on the property: for continued healing, growth, freedom, and restoration. • the dedicated staff and caregivers who have been working their bums off to create a safe and healthy space for our survivor sisters. • perseverance and joy on the difficult days when morale is low and tensions are high. • intimate and authentic relationships to be formed between the staff and girls - built on grace, trust, security, and unconditional love. • for supernatural Holy Spirit energy and alertness during night shifts! . Thanks friends! Love you all and grateful for your prayers in this new season! ❤️
[made a new friend in Austin]
Coffee in Hand + Anticipation in my Heart. . Starting the 19 hour drive to Texas. This will be a season of new beginnings and new adventures - and I’m so excited to see what God has in store. Prayers for the trip y’all! . Link in bio for more info.
