I can’t believe it’s already April. Time is moving so quickly and May is right around the corner. March was such a meaningful month, and with the weather finally warming up, it’s been so fun getting to spend more time outside and experience new things together.
My family and grandparents came to visit at the beginning of the month, and I loved getting to show them some of my favorite spots around Raleigh while also trying a few new restaurants. We had our John Richmond retreat with the Trinity Fellows, which was truly a highlight. Getting to bring both groups together, spend time on the lake, and learn from John was such a gift. He shared so much wisdom, and the entire weekend felt both refreshing and impactful. Jackie, Tyler, and I were on snacks, and we definitely went a little overboard, but it was worth it.
We also had the opportunity to visit the North Carolina Supreme Court and meet Chief Justice Paul Newby, which was such a unique and memorable experience. Our silent retreat at the St. Francis Prayer Center was unlike anything I’ve ever done before, but it was incredibly meaningful and gave me a lot of time for reflection. To end the month, we had the sweetest surprise birthday celebration for the summer birthdays. Everyone got their favorite dessert, and Maddie Grace made the best almond blackberry cake I’ve ever had.
I feel so grateful for everything this month held and am really trying to be present and soak up these moments. Praying for April and trusting that the post Fellows logistics will begin to come together.
