For the last few years, since 2016 and coming home from YWAM (wow, has it really been 4 years already?!), I've been living at home with my parents, attending the same church, and working at the same job. It's been normal. Rooted. I'm home. I'm flourishing, I'd say, in some areas. I've been working at my high school job, a greenhouse, but in a very different capacity, and it's a place I've very much felt called to. And I love it! I've also become very involved at my church, even becoming the youth director this year, along with my friend and a girl I mentored, a now twenty year old sweetheart. It was super hard and super challenging, but God was so faithful and good.
Here's the thing, though: in December, I got engaged to my amazing fiance, Raymond. How we met is a complete God story in and of itself, one that I will definitely be telling another time, simply for my own reflection! Every time I look back on how God brought us together, I can't help but laugh and be in complete awe of Him!
Raymond, however, lives not in the Toronto, Ontario, area where I live, but in Edmonton, Alberta. So after we get married on August 29 of this year, I will be moving out west to Alberta! Which is equally scary and exciting. I have to say goodbye to my job, which I love, and my church, which I also love, and to some extent my family. It's not going to be an easy thing, but it is where God is calling us to begin our marriage, and so there we will be. I'm excited to enter this new adventure with Raymond, and to get to know his family and friends better. I'm also very very VERY thankful that my cousin and best friend, Rachel, already has lived in Edmonton for several years for work. God is good!
So, with that being said, here is my life. We'll see how often I write, but this is really just for me, anyway. And if others get enjoyment out of it, I'm glad!
Blessings,
Katie
