  There’s something about autumn that always feels like a fresh start. The air gets cooler, the days get shorter, and it just feels like a new chapter is starting. For me, this season really is new - I’m stepping into another year at university, starting long distance with my boyfriend, getting more involved with CU, working for my church, joining new societies, and even launching a  Pilates business on the side. It’s a lot - but for the first time in a long time, I don’t feel anxious about what’s ahead. Instead, I feel grateful. Grateful for where God has taken me so far, and excited for where he’s leading me next. This season feels full of potential -full of opportunities to grow, to be challenged, and to deepen my faith. I’m intentionally leaving some things behind too: fear about my future, the doubts that used to hold me back, and the constant overthinking that distracted me from the present.

 This summer, I had the privilege of going to New Wine for the very first time — a week-long Christian festival I had heard so much about but never experienced for myself.

But what I didn’t expect was just how much God would meet me in that week, both in the big, loud moments and in the quiet, still ones.

Standing there, surrounded by so many voices praising God, was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. It wasn’t just that I felt connected to Him — I felt connected to everyone in that space. There was a deep sense of belonging, of being part of something much bigger than myself. The joy, hope, and love in that room were so tangible it sometimes brought me to tears.

  Hi friends, First and foremost, thank you for your patience while things have been quiet here. This summer turned out to be far more full than I expected - full of plans, people, lessons, and moments where God completely redirected me. In many ways, I needed to step back and live the stories before I could sit down and write them. But I’m back now - and I have so much to share with you! Over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting about: The quiet ways God spoke to me this summer Lessons I didn’t know I needed to learn Big and small ways I’ve seen Him at work How I’m preparing my heart for this next season  It feels like I’m stepping into a new chapter once again this autumn, and I’d love to take you with me. My hope is that these posts encourage you to pause and look for where God has been moving in your own life - even in the chaos, even in the quiet. Love always, Ruby xo
