2/13- Favor Upon Favor

Tuesday night was my second week of a women’s Bible study going on at the church I will be attending while in Worcester. Can I just say that God is a perfect provider? Time and time again, He never fails to blow my mind with how He perfectly fulfills both the needs and desires in…

1/13- Noodles and Newport

That’s it! My first week in Massachusetts has come and gone! It’s so strange, to already be a week through this assignment, but yet have twelve more ahead of me! Mentally, it’s a struggle to find the balance between “I just got here” and “I’m ready for what’s next”. My living situation with this assignment…

13/13- One Last Time

Any Hamilton lovers in the house? I’ve caught myself singing “One Last Time” to myself several times throughout this week. There’s something so sad and sweet about it and what a better theme song for my last week in San Francisco? A good portion of my week was spent packing, but I did manage to…

12/13- Firsts and Lasts

Tuesday, some work peeps and I did an early celebration for my departure. We enjoyed some Hawaiian food at a place called Pa’Ina, explored Japantown, and took some freaking cute pictures. It is such a blessing to have worked with these ladies these past three months. They have welcomed me in with open arms and…

11/13- I Found Out Where I’m Going Next!

*Wow. Late posting two weeks in a row! So sorry!* That’s right! I know where my next destination is! Drum roll please! …WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS! Looks like I’m heading back to the east coast, folks! There are so many things I’m looking forward to during my stay in Massachusetts. I intend on visiting both Boston and…

10/13- Sista, Sista

*I’m so sorry this is just now getting posted!* 3 weeks left. 15 days of work, 20 days of life left here in San Francisco. I am absolutely blown away by how the time has flown. My weeks are so packed between work, exercise, friends, and the day-to-day that when I look up, I can…

9/13- I Took a Trip to La La Land

What commenced this past week has made my 23rd birthday unforgettable. On Thursday, the ladies in my small group and I went out to dinner at Kiki Japanese Restaurant (right around the corner from SIP!), where I chowed down on sushi and was given the ol’ restaurant birthday sing-along. We then went to the Academy…

8/13- Sipping Tea and Lifestyle Changes

Here we are. Another week deeper into my time in San Francisco and another week closer to its end. When I was in DC, it was hard saying goodbye. Not just to where I worked, but also my friends, church, even just the city itself. I dreaded my last day and felt truly “uprooted” when…

7/13- Birthday Plans and Some Serious Garlic Breath

This was my first year of not being able to celebrate Easter with my family. No egg-dyeing, no bunny cake baking, no sunrise service. Yet, this Easter was one for the books. Church was lovely and I enjoyed dressing up for it! I’ve certainly noticed that as I have lost weight and toned up, my…

6/13- We’re Half Way There!

“Whoa, livin’ on a prayer!” I’m telling you, it is absolutely insane to me that I am done with half of this assignment. Time has flown! Upon reflection, there isn’t a single ounce of regret with how I’ve spent my time thus far. I have packed so much into the past weeks and am completely…
