Heyyyyy Blog,
February started on a major high note with the Career Calling and Vocation Retreat with our king, Cameron 👑, who led us through the correlation of faith and work and how our gifts, desires, and opportunities intersect with these two ideas. This retreat was honestly just a lot of fun and I felt like we connected really well as a group and enjoyed our time with one another. We watched the Divergent movies and then proceeded to create a whole Divergent voting game in which we voted for which faction everyone belonged in. Only then to find out that Linda May is Divergent (no surprise there), and to create a new way of saying “ErUDitE” that we literally have not stopped talking about since then. We also played my new favorite game, telephone charades which had me peeing my pants it was so funny, but on that, I’ll just say you had to be there. Not only was the retreat a great bonding experience, but it was also a weekend of great clarity and reassurance. We had a session in which every fellow sat in the “hot seat” and we all had the opportunity to affirm one another in the vocational gifts and talents that we have seen, and for me, a lot of what I received were skills that related to occupational therapy. Then we had one-on-one sessions with Cameron where he went over the assessments we had to take before the retreat and my results also connected very well to occupational therapy or a career in the same field. After hearing these things I couldn’t help but see how God has been more than intentional and faithful in carving out my path. Like how cool that I get to go to grad school and do something that I am passionate about and have gifts for, but even more so how cool that I was able to do the Fellows Program along the way and learn more about who God has created me to be! Like he truly has been so good to me❤️. (Also, UNC beat Duke in their first basketball matchup of the season during that weekend, which was FANTASTIC, so all around, that was one of my favorite retreats🤩)!
This past month we also did a super fun Galentines with Beth Finneran who was the BEST host as we ate yummy snacks, made super cute Valentine’s Day Cards, and had some great girly chats💖. Later that week we also did a Galentine’s with student ministry which was a super sweet time to get to spend with the 10th grade girls that I help lead. While on the topic of girlies, I have been LOVING mentor time with Rebecca lately. She has just been the best and is a wonderful listener who cares for and encourages me so well and whom I have loved creating a relationship with this year. Also, the Women’s Retreat, which I could go on a rant about. Contentment, multigenerational, sunshine, Wilmington, and silent disco; that’s really all you need to know💃🏻! This past month I have felt incredibly fortunate for the women whom God has placed in my life through the Fellows program, like seriously, they’re awesome and I couldn’t be more grateful!!
Thank you, February, you’ve been good🫶🏼!
Peace and Love,
Girl Hunter 💕🤠✨🪩
