Heyyyyy Blog,
When looking back on pictures in my camera roll from this past month like I always do when writing my blogs, I honestly forgot how jam-packed March was!
We started the month on the Silent Retreat which ended up being one my favorite this year! We went to St. Frances Retreat Center, which was beautiful and so peaceful and truly meditative 😌. During my 24 hours of silence, I got to wander around the property and walk on the trails in the woods, read, REST, journal, and spend time in prayer and silence with the Lord. I left this retreat feeling rejuvenated and so grateful for the year God has given me through Fellows and the things that He has taught me!
A big part of March was getting to experience Lent as that had not been something the churches I had previously gone to had as heavily emphasized. For Lent, I decided to fast Instagram and TikTok and it ended up being something I really didn’t miss until right at the end. In giving those things up, I was able to spend my nights journaling, reading, and praying instead and creating time to be mindful and reflect on my day and the moments in which I saw God’s provision and presence. It helped me to create a better nighttime routine of less screen time, which has been great 🤩!
During this month, some of my best friends from UNC came to Raleigh for a weekend and I took them to my favorite coffee shops, drove them around downtown, introduced them to the Fellows, played games, and it was so sweet. I also hung out with a few of my other college friends throughout the month and took a trip to Pennsylvania to spend Easter weekend with some of my other best friends, which was super sweet and memorable. March was truly the month of catching up with friends 💖!
March was meaningful for the reasons I spoke on, but also all of the ones mentioned in the “Key Moments”. I can’t believe we have reached April. Time, slow down😭!!!
Peace and Love,
Girl Hunter 💕🤠✨🪩
