INSTAGRAM IS MY INSTA-JAM / @ELLIEBE_

I've thought about what I would say in this caption for the last six months and still, I'm not sure any words will do how I’m feeling justice. In February, I moved in with Jake, Ashley and Margo, friends of mine that opened up their home to me during my internship. The last six months have been full of long patio talks about everything and anything, seamlessly transitioning from the Enneagram to parenthood to the church, dreaming about the future, sharing groceries and cameras and fashion advice, and most of all, me learning about the kindness and generosity of Jesus through these two. I'm so grateful for the way they live their life, love each other, and parent Margo. This last season was incredible largely due to them. And as we part ways (the last two weeks have been a true WHIRLWIND for all of us with moving and changing jobs) I'm overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude. I hope everyone has friends like them in their life. And document your life because happy selfies like this are fun to stumble upon. ☺️
Ready for some rambling? This last month has felt like a whirlwind, a word I’ve been repeating to everyone when they ask me, “How are you?” Job transitions, moving, taking stock of emotions and choosing to sit in the processing instead of escape it (whew, growth) all adds up and I’m thankful for people around me that listen well. I truly feel like I’m flourishing, in the “flowers growing through the cracks in the concrete” sort of way. I’m thankful for Jesus, I’m thankful for people, I’m thankful to be an associate youth pastor. I’m thankful for flowers growing over fences, and a good cup of coffee, and laughter over FaceTime. I’m thankful for sunshine, and rain when we need it. I’m thankful for self-awareness and teeny moments of “Wow, I’m not the same person I was a year ago.” “His love broke open the way and he brought me into a beautiful broad place. He rescued me—because his delight is in me!” Psalms‬ ‭18:19‬ ‭🤩
Chapter 3/3: 2019 ✨I’m incredibly humbled and EXCITED to be going to @lcmidtowntulsa as an Associate Youth Pastor! God has used the last seven months at @lifechurchsba to teach me how to flourish where I am planted, and step courageously into exactly where God has placed me. This team was a big part of that. (You know who you are, THANK YOU.) Midtown, here I come!
Chapter 2 of 3: 2018 ✨ At the beginning of 2018, God said, “Choose your own adventure.” Move again to take advantage of a new and exciting opportunity out of state, or stay in Tulsa and continue to put down roots, and the vulnerability that it takes to do that scared me. Seven months ago, I stepped onto the @lifechurchsba team as a @lcswitch intern. This place has been my church home for the last three years, a place where I learned what it meant to put down roots in a community. It was an honor and one of the biggest joys of my life to continue my time here as a staff member. But the best is yet to come...
