How did SJV prepare you for what’s coming next?
SJV really helped me to receive the Lord’s love and to know who I am in His eyes. This relationship that the Lord has given me with Himself is the foundation for the upcoming ministry he is leading me into.

Favorite part of spring?
The plants! I am so excited to see everything come back to life after the winter. I am also eager to move my houseplants outside for the summer and watch them thrive.
