This past Sunday marked one year since I found Encounter Church. It’s been a journey of faith, growth, and transformation like no other and I only have Jesus Christ to thank for that. (Believe me, if he can clean up MY mouth and make me stop drinking, he can do ANYTHING) 🙌🏽 I literally rang in the new year reading my Bible—a decision that set the tone for everything to come. I joined my first small group, set up tithing for the first time, and attended an ACTS retreat that truly opened my heart to God’s love. Completing my Freedom small group and stepping into serving at Encounter were milestones that set my heart on fire for Jesus. Serving on the creative and production teams has been such a blessing, allowing me to use my gifts for His glory. The most defining moment? Getting baptized—publicly declaring my faith and fully committing my life to Jesus. Now, (as of Saturday) I’m 11 months alcohol free, just 30 days away from finishing the Bible (whew!) and have attended church 49 out of 52 Sundays—not to mention the countless events, small groups, and retreats that have consumed my life this year. Basically if the church was unlocked, I was there. And I’m not saying that you have to go to church to believe in Jesus, but there is literally NOTHING like getting in the presence of God. It’s just like any other relationship, you have to work on it and be present for it to strengthen and deepen your relationship with Him. Sure, you can live in separate houses, but is your marriage gonna be as strong as it could be? Next up: serving on team for ACTS in April and I cannot wait. Through it all, I’ve formed new friendships, strengthened old relationships with friends and family, and embraced my new love language: bringing anyone I can to church. Whether it’s my mom (whom I’ve basically kidnapped in the name of Jesus this year), my niece, an old friend, or literal strangers, sharing the joy and peace I’ve found in Jesus is my greatest joy. This year has changed my heart, giving me a spirit of forgiveness and a deeper understanding of grace. I am so grateful the God chased after me—and can’t wait to see where He leads me next.

This time last year, I would’ve never believed this is where I’d be. But thank GOD for his infinite wisdom and perfect plan and thank God for my brother and sister-in-law for inviting me to Encounter Church 9 months ago. I could say so much about about how God has been actively working in my life, but I’d never stop talking. So I’ll just say… today was the absolute best day of my life. 🙌🏽 🕊️ ⛪️ 🤍
