Get to Know a Garden City Member: Toye Peters
Hello! my name is Toye. I am originally from San Diego Escondido. Top TRAVEL destination and the hometown of Tom Anderson, the GENIUS behind Myspace (please add me at TP9480). I have been at Garden City for a little over 2 and a half years (I have honestly not found a more welcoming and inviting place than Garden City). My favorite memories growing up are probably playing music with my friends or traveling.
There are so many exciting things to do in the Bay. However, here are/were some of my favorite spots and things to do.
Café Stritch (Rest in Peace)
Applebees (Family-friendly and dinner and a show)
CFA with AF
Normal people things like eating brisket and ribs, dancing, etc.
Biking Heintz Open Space in Belgatos
Day trips with my roommates
In all seriousness, I really enjoy that my life group is able to meet in person rather than on Zoom (anyone else Zoomed out? I nearly burned my work computer last week). It’s been very life-giving and awesome to connect in person with my group. There is something really powerful and special about meeting in person that screens can never replace.
I have been reading through the Psalms over the past year. I love the honesty and realness each Psalmist brings to God. I am really encouraged to be real with God and learn how to process my emotions with him. The two biggest lessons I am learning right now during COVID is
God is about building his kingdom and not my own.
When I am overwhelmed with life, it means I am underwhelmed with God
Cannot wait to see you all in person again.
Stay Safe!
Toye
