reflection (week 1 thus far)

This week thus far has been a very beautiful and growing experience. I came to Charleston with a desperate thirst for answers, for truth, for guidance, and for community. And certainly (as always) God provided- He brought me to a wonderful group of students and staff who are so encouraging and supportive. They have seen and some have conquered monsters much like my own, and I feel safe and truly in a greenhouse of growth. I also packed my bags with insecurity, shame, and pain, but even after these past few days I am grateful to say I wear peace, confidence, and a freedom sweeter than the Southern tea here.

If you have any questions or want to hear more please ask and I will be happy to share. :) I have a lot of information from so many devotionals and great times spent with the Lord but I will give you the pictures now while my days/reflections are split up below.

My Dad suggested we take a selfie at the Biltmore Estate on Saturday before they dropped me off.

this week's schedule (notice how the next two days are my freest days).

The Battery, which is what I have really become familiar with these past few days in Charleston.

I didn't mean to take this picture (and have a lot of pictures of the sidewalk haha), but this was taken while I was spending some great time with the Lord on Wednesday.
