I am from the San Francisco Bay Area where you feel as small as an ant in the big city. Life there is fast and the sense of community is almost nonexistant. After moving to Estacada, Oregon, life is slower. For me, slower is better because it allows me to make real connections with people, just how God designed us. He made us desire relationship and that need is filled within my community and I am grateful for that. I am working on creative ways to give back to my community and I hope this avenue is affective. I know that I personally will never grow if I don't stretch outside my comfort zone. Thank you for your grace and for joining me on this journey. God Bless.
