Tonight I am writing to you from Washington D.C. in a hotel room, smack dab in the middle of launch.
It is so surreal, and honestly, it hasn't hit me yet.
This Friday we launch to Mozambique…and it hasn't hit me.
It's so exciting to see smiling faces and most everyone from training camp!
It's comforting to know that while I am processing this, that over 200 people are right here with me processing the reality of what we have prepared months for.
But, like I said it just hasn't hit me.
I find myself thinking, how can I get out of this?
Why?
Because I am scared out of my mind. Freaked out, something so big and beyond me…its just surreal.
I feel like I am in an IMAX movie, except this time I am not sick and there's no popcorn. True story bro.
Out of all of this though, I do have to say, God is faithful and He is to be trusted.
I trusted Him to get here, and here I am.
I trusted Him with my life, and He is bringing me right where I need to be….
Hungry and ready for LAUNCH!!!!

Just said goodbye to my mom, and it sucks. My mom is excited for me. I could tell. But it was hard for both of us. We share so much.
Everytime I meet people who know my mom, they always remind me that I am so much like her. And its true.
I love her so much.
She has supported me and loved me when I was a mess and sometimes even unlovable. She has just been such a blessing, I couldn't be here without her, literally, and emotionally.
This is hard…but I am thankful.
