My fortune cookie: You will learn the value of a hug.

Anyone that knows me knows I prefer a handshake or a fist bump over a hug, but here I am, learning how to get out of my #comfortzone

As I listened to one of the sisters sniffle and wipe away tears, a battle went on in my mind. "She needs a hug... oh no, oh man, I can't do this... put on your big girl pants YOU CAN DO IT."

And I did. Still don't love hugs. But I learned the value!

We don't hug the people that we meet each day, but there is a warm glow in their eyes as a connection is made. Bear Valley has THE STRANGEST people I've ever met and they have the biggest place in my heart! With each moment together- listening to their life stories, planting flowers, pretending to like their animals- we become more connected.

The most important connection that we can strengthen is our connection to Christ. As I've gotten outside my comfort zone to help those around me, I find myself more connected to Christ. What connects you to Him?

Love big! Love hard!
