It's hard to believe that one year ago today was the beginning of the Ordinary Radicals blog! So much has changed along the journey ~ mostly in us! What began as an invitation to share our life stories has become so much more than possibly imagined. As we began to do what we have passion for in response to loving Jesus, a powerful wind of the Spirit, has moved us to and through places we never could have, or would have gone on our own. The deepening relationship and love for Father, Son, and Spirit has grown ever deeper and has impacted us in community with one another.

It's interesting that one of the definitions in reflection contains consider, a word that grabbed our attention in one of our earliest blogs. Today I just wanted to reflect on what's happened over this past year. Almost every definition gives insight into how life has and is changing for each of us; seen by what we've shared here. My hope is that we are reflecting more of Jesus in all of life!

Thanks for sharing the journey together!
