Getting Settled

God has been so good. In the midst of traveling, adjusting to a new place, learning lots of information, and meeting my team, God has been gracious and so kind. I couldn’t be more excited for the adventures and work to come.

A quick recap: On Thursday, I flew to Orlando and was picked up by my team at the airport. We got lunch, picked up the rental car, moved into our apartment, then grocery shopped. Friday was a full day at Cru HQ getting an overview of what the next month will look like, learning the buildings and missions Cru has going on, and working as a team to decide how we want our year to look. This weekend has been a time of rest and fellowship. We are a group that loves to laugh and that has been such a blessing.

Godsends of the week (When I worked with Young Life two summers ago we would identify ‘Godsends’ or little blessings in our lives that felt like a gift when we received it. They can seem small but are a reminder to be grateful for where I am and intentionally look for goodness): Getting a guitar that last year’s team used, buying flowers, Chex Mix in the Cru office, and receiving sweet messages as I’ve made this transition.

Prayer Requests:

• finalizing financial support for the team (Some of our team still needs to raise money- if you’d like to support me any excess can help them!)

• Eager minds and hearts as we learn

• Strong team dynamic and unity

• Safety for our leader, Addison, as she’ll be joining us in just over a week

Rejoicing,

Julianne

I am so blessed, so excited, and so encouraged to be alongside such women of faith. (Pictured from left to right: Kamise, Maja, Megan, and Me!)
