spring!

can't believe it's already mid-march! it's been a really busy month so far, but i'm very excited for this new season! i love spring + summer, so bring on the SUN!  
a lot has gone on these past few weeks! celebrated my little brother's birthday + experienced EXPOWEST for the first time! my team + i spent a week in SOCAL for the expo..it was fun, stressful, exhausting, but all in all...awesome and a great learning experience. if there is one quote that has proven itself to be very true these past few weeks, it would be "strive for progress, not perfection." i've noticed that i tend to turn to go into "perfectionist" mode, which is not something i am proud of. looking back on it, i think i grew up this way. it stresses me out + causes unnecessary anxiety + worry. ultimately, God is so good and I am so thankful for his constant grace in my life. learning to let go of my perfectionist ways has not been easy, but it is something i am working on daily.  
"God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns." 
psalm 46:5
rather than write an essay (a very grammatically incorrect one...lol #foblife), i've decided to sum up our trip and a few other events with another picture slideshow!
