Waaay back when I lived in Regina, I was a part of a great group of young adults. I learned a lot about community from that group, and since then, I've longed to find that again. The past six years have brought lots of new experiences, and a ton of new people into my life. I've grown personally, and my faith, while still far from where it could be, has grown a lot too. Yet throughout those six years, I've still never felt 'community' like I did when I was in Regina. But just this past Sunday night, I had to smile because I think I've finally found it again. I've been meeting with a small group from my church on Sunday nights, and as we laughed, and talked, and prayed (and they sent me home with medicine to help me get better from my cold!), I realized that this is it, the community I've been looking for. They are just some of the best people that I know, and I'm so thankful to have them to live life with in Merritt.

It's definitely an answer to prayer. I've struggled with feeling like I 'belong' here, and feeling restless. Yet, I had decided that I need to be content with where I am RIGHT NOW - rather than always trying to look ahead to where I am going. Merritt might not be my home forever, but it is my home right now, so I need to make the most of my time here. So ... I'm SO thankful to have found this community to be a part of, and am excited to share more of life with them.
