Dear Family and Friends,

If I have to be vulnerable for a moment, I’ll go ahead and share that I miss home. MY heart misses my family & friends. Those moments of sitting around the couch doing nothing and being weird to the deep conversations we have on the love of God. Our laughs, cries, awkward moments, craziness, goofy moments, and most of all the joy of being with each one of you. When I signed up for the race I thought this would be a piece of cake. 11 months sounded like a time far away and a place where I’d be living life to the fullest… What’s the big deal? They’ll be in the same place, and I’ll be back before we know it. As days become weeks and weeks become months, I’ve realized that these next 9 months seem a far time away until I see you again. It’s hard coming to that realization. It’s hard seeing each of you and knowing that I won’t be there to experience those awesome moments with y’all. Even through those thoughts and hurts, I know that God has set this all up for His glory. For the advancement of His name. Even through those most difficult days when I’m left crying in prayer asking for the Lord for His strength, I wait with patience. The Lord is good and I am thankful for every moment I’ve had these past months. Please know that I love what God has been doing and I can’t wait to share it when the day comes where we reunite. Until then, you can visit me in California! Haha! Kidding. Maybe. But, in reality I love y’all so much. More than words can say and more than I ever thought I would. Thank you for being in my life. Thank you for being there for me when I get annoying and weird, but, most of all thank you for letting me be apart of your lives. Jesus knew what He was doing when He brought us all together. Thank you, for hearing me out through this letter. I’m okay. I’m actually in an amazing place with the Lord and my team but, I just needed y’all to know that there isn’t a day I don’t think of you. Y’all are the best & I love you so so much!!! 

 

YOU ARE SOOO LOVED.
