In 2020, just prior to the COVID pandemic, I was on a relationship panel for college students as part of our church's college ministry, RealTalk. After the panel, we broke into gender-specific groups to continue the conversation. And from that, Real G.R.A.C.E.(Girls Redeemed Adopted Chosen Eternally) was born. Formed of college-aged women, the ladies of Real G.R.A.C.E. have become my girls! We are sisters in Christ, and some have become spiritual nieces and daughters as we intimately live this Christian life together. My dear friend and sister in Christ, Nicole B., and I hold regular Bible studies and attend local church services with the ladies. We discuss how we are applying scripture to our daily lives and conforming our worldviews to that of Christ. Fun activities like pajama parties, game nights and even just eating together, help break down some of the protective walls most have built over the years.
