It has been many years since I left Rocky. The girl I was would not be recognized by the woman I am, and Rocky played a part in that. It was at Rocky where I learned to question the theology of the church today, and that God could and would handle all my doubts.

From the first moment, when I was on a literal mountain questioning my life choices, as Teigen told me I was as sure-footed as a mountain goat, to now, living in the UK as a soldier's wife with two small girls.

My days are full of praising Jesus in the kitchen and watching kid shows, and refereeing fights.

We have been through three moves and three churches. All different, yet all helping to continue shaping me like the potter's clay. It is not the life I had pictured for myself, but it is a million times better.

I know I owe it all to saying yes to God that first time to attend Rocky. Everything I have learned helped to make my faith my own: authentic, messy, with some bruises but still strong and sure-footed, which I know will help me better steer my family through this life.
