I can’t believe that my race is actually done. Truly I tell you I had the time of my life. I don’t regret holding off college one bit. I’ve realized no one cares if you don’t go to the party. The party means many things, it can be the literal parties or dancing with worldly values. We all fall into temptation of the world but I have seen up close what it looks like to put yourself behind and focus on others.
Living in community is like going to Red Robin and ordering bottomless fries but replace that with 30 something different personalities around you all of the time. It never ends, and its never a dull moment whether it’s 2 of you or it 14 of you. Like I said bottomless fries but people edition. I’d be lying if I said that living with so many people was easy, it’s not. Let me tell you now that I’m home I miss my community more than ever! With that being said I’m going to write a quick little note for them.
Gap A, what a blessing it has been to know each and every one of you. you have challenged me in more ways than I can explain. It’s hard living together but I loved living in Ecuador with you all. Each of you have been given gifts from God himself. I see the ways you’ve grown. We’ve had many ups and downs but we’re brothers and sisters in Christ. Siblings fight but we love hard. We’ve shared so many laughs and memories together and I know I’ll be telling people around the world about it for the rest of my life. So here’s to you;

This blog isn’t just about my squad mates, it’s about my supporters. Without the people who supported me in every way financially, prayerfully, and for those who had no idea who I am and still supported me. Thank you. You know that phrase is used so much in this world today but because of that a lot of the time it just doesn’t mean as much as it used to. Really I do mean every word I say, and I’m saying thank you. Thank you for taking time out of your days to read my updates and watch my journey. Thankyou for caring enough to pour your worked for money into my dream. Thankyou for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime. Thank you for helping me place my passion in the right place. Starting a fire for Jesus and kept it burning bright. Thank you for everything you all have done for me, I wouldn’t be where I am in my relationships today if it weren’t for you all.
I plan to continue my journey at home and find anywhere and anyone to continue ministry for. If you need prayer for anything please comment below and I will write your prayer request down and pray for whatever you need.
Thanks for taking the time out of your day to read my blog.
