*As a disclaimer, I tried (and failed miserably) to hold back tears while writing this. This post is short, because if it were any longer my tear ducts wouldn’t be able to keep up.*
Sometimes you never realize how much you truly and genuinely love the people you’re around and share life with… until you have to say goodbye to them. Even if it’s actually just an extended “see you later.”
Well… that point started for me a couple of days ago, and even though I’m usually proficient in the art of keeping my emotions in check… this next week will absolutely break me and I can already feel it.
I hate goodbyes.
But man the Lord is so good. I cannot thank him enough for giving me such an incredible family that has supported and encouraged me since the beginning, and irreplaceable friends that I’ve had an absolute blast laughing, crying, dancing, singing, and doing life with for the last several years…
Yep, I’m crying.
I love and care for all of you and want to let you know that if you need anything… whether it’s prayer, encouragement, someone to simply talk to, whatever it is, just shoot me a text, email, messenger pigeon, I do not care. I will get back to you. And no, it will not be an inconvenience.
One more week until launch.
One week from now my life will never be the same. One week from now I’ll be stepping way outside of my comfort zone and entering a world full of physical and spiritual unknowns, and if I’m being brutally honest… I have so many different feelings going on inside me right now that I have no clue which way is up.
I’m amped and excited, but I’m nervous and anxious too. And stressed. And sad because I’m leaving everyone I love… Ugh, I’m feeling it right now guys. Prayer is much appreciated.
I guess that comes with the territory though.
Love y’all. May the Lord bless and keep you close to Him.
