Just a few of my favorite 2005 things

Written By Katie Hoiland

Spent time with incredible people, participated in holistic ministry and learned more about the desires God has placed my heart all in a shanty-town in Lima, Peru

  • Played with sparklers on the top of a volcano after watching the sun set over the clouds

  • Went to a real island for the first time where I hiked a bamboo forest, lounged on a beach, walked through a pineapple field and went to a luau.

  • Visited Washington D.C. twice with two amazing friends

  • Stood by Niagara Falls with the mist on my face

  • Received a promotion to Support Specialist Project Analyst

  • Navigated a major road trip for the first time (we only got lost a couple of times!)

  • Learned more about the power and importance of prayer (a prayer partner and YWAM prayer journal were a huge part of that lesson)

  • Hiked some incredible AZ hikes for the first time–Oak Creek Canyon, Cathedral Rock, Peralta, Squaw Peak, Camelback (pretty sad for a native Arizonian)

  • Read some amazing new books. A few particularly challenging ones were The Heavenly Man, The Wind is Howling, Tale of Three Kings, Compassion, I Dared to call Him Father.

  • Began meeting with a mentor

  • Enjoyed amazing family, friends and coworkers

  • Learned more about brokeness and the importance of being quiet before God. “Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations , I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10
