Today was the last full day of triennium... my experience here was not life changing at all. I didn't feel the connections that others felt here and throughout the week I had figured out why. Triennium is a good idea, but I feel like thats all it is. It's just too big to grow spiritually in your faith. It was fun, but I wished It could have been more centered around Christ.

The FVC is such an amazing organization that help families to reconnect or stay connected through difficult situations. They provide so many services that quite literally save families and we are so honored to have worked for them this week. One of the very cool things FVC does is provide a Birthday Party for every child they serve! Since these children only get to see their noncustodial parent within the walls of the facility, FCV makes sure each child gets to celebrate their birth with that parent. So they provide a bag full of Birthday Party Supplies in order to do that. About a year ago they asked for donations and were so abundantly blessed that they had no room to store all of the bags!
