10 Years

10 Years at ICB.

November 2, 2025, marks a decade of ministry serving this beautiful church family.

I (cautiously) say that I have inched towards understanding 2 Peter 3:8, “With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.” We are created in His image after all, aren’t we? On one hand, the thought of a decade SHOCKS me as it feels like I landed yesterday. The past 10 years have flown by like a day.

And yet when I leafed through old photos, I was overwhelmed at the sheer amount of meaningful moments that have filled my life at ICB. I have “logged” countless hours of intense joy and beauty… complex empathy and grief… spiritual growth and self-actualization. All the moments formed me to be the friend and leader I am right now; my love for the Word evolved into a preaching skill; and I pray (only by the grace of God) that I have been able to be the love of Jesus to many souls.

This decade with my ICB family has been a gift that my own heart cannot fully contain or comprehend. Perhaps that’s why a decade can feel like a day at times— our human hearts aren’t built to hold all the goodness, grief, and joy this life gives us. But I’m so grateful for all of the days that are also worth a thousand.
