It's Kinda Terrifying Starting a Blog...

-

So here I am. The girl who doesn't like writing and is private about her life is writing a blog... 

This is me and my fiance Alex.
We're getting married in 53 days!
I'm just a little excited 😄😁

This is definitely Christ in me... So here we go!

Fearless Leadership Residency (FLR):

I am a resident in the Fearless Follower network of churches (Ridge Point, Cultivate, and 3rd Coast churches). It started late in August and has been incredible. I have learned so much, seen God move, work, change lives, and have trusted God in a whole new way.

God plopped me here. I just graduated from Calvin College with a teaching degree in math. God said, "Nope!" and pointed me to Ridge Point Community Church in Holland, Michigan.


My Journey in God's Ministry Blog:

My next post will give you more information about the residency. But for now, I just wanted to get the ball rolling to create a place for updates, what I'm learning, what I'm seeing God doing, and give more opportunities for people to join Team Hannah! Whoop! Whoop!
Alex, me, and Amber (another resident!)
(The cupcake was delicious😁)
I am so grateful to God for His faithfulness and the faithful people already on my team! They have been praying and giving financially to join in God's work in my life! Thank you thank you thank you!

Feel free to share my story and my blog! Though I am slightly terrified about sharing my actual thoughts and feelings, I am also pumped to see what God is going to do through it. You will bless me and I can bless you. Let's do this! God, use me 💗

The Residency and Me in a Nutshell:  As promised from my first post, I will tell you about my residency at Ridge Point Church (Fearless network church), a little about myself, what God is doing, and how YOU can join Team Hannah and support me! About Me and the Residency: God is leading me in my new phase of life after graduation. I graduated from Calvin with a teaching degree in math and a minor in youth ministry. After much prayer, I followed God to Ridge Point Community Church in Holland, MI to work in their Fearless Residency Program! This residency can be for three years total, but residents commit for a year at a time. This first year is called the "Dream Year," emphasizing that God's dream is bigger than our ambition. God's dream is bigger than our ambition. God has been using Ridge Point to plant churches throughout Michigan, and even outside of the U.S. With all of these church plants, they need church leaders to serve the Christians who gather th...

My Last Month...

It's June. How is it already June? A year ago I got the call that I had been accepted into the fearless residency, and I was so nervous (but also excited. 😉)Now, this is my last month of phase 1 residency, and I am looking back over the year.  I have changed and grown this past year through the residency, getting married, moving, and simply being an adult (who is finally out of school!).  Many have already been asking me, "What is your biggest takeaway ?" Since it is hard to choose just one, these are the big ones that first come to mind: In my faith and in ministry: I have been reminded that ministry is not about programs, but it is about relationships .  Being a Christian is more than checking off boxes to make sure you're being a good Christian; we need to l ove the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind and love our neighbors as ourselves (Matt. 22:36-40).   God equips who He calls.  I have been...

Starting the Year Right... with Camp!

Me: "What do you love about camp?" Camper: "Everything!"      Whenever I would ask this question to get some feedback and start a conversation with a camper, this was the most common answer. I mean, I can't blame them... Camp is awesome! It will always have a special place in my heart.   My first summer at Son-Life Camp! Son-Life Camp is My Favorite        This camp played a huge part in developing my ministry leadership. I started out 5 years as a shy counselor who loved kids and wanted them to know about Jesus... to running the day camp program and staff, going up front, and being loud and goofy. I was even one of the speakers for the summer! God has done incredible things in my life. Snowbound!!! Snowbound 2015!      You know how Facebook does those posts at the top of your newsfeed? "5 years ago you were traveling here and eating this amazing food...." Thanks a lot Facebook.... Don't taunt me l...
