9 days.

I launch for the world race in 9 days.

We are now in the single digits.

Holy kamoly.

I’ve said some goodbyes. Parted ways with some good friends. Some tears were shed. Not on my end.

For whatever reason I have just never been really sentimental with goodbyes.

When school has ended. When friends have moved away. It was all well and good, but it was just an end to another season, and the beginning of the next.

There have been some moments, of goodbyes, where I tried so hard to cry. I didn’t want to seem hard or emotionless. So in that moment, I looked up to God and asked him to make me a super emotional person in that moment.

It didn’t happen.

Because that isn’t something I cry over.

There are plenty of other things I cry over.

So as these next 9 days come and go, and as my squad and I go down to Atlanta and then launch into the nations; know that in all of my excitement, as this next season begins, I am mourning leaving this season.

This is a big step. My life has been here in York the past 17 years. I’ve been involved in young life here the past 6 years.

I’m not scared. I’m not worried. God has got this.

So I’m charging it, head on. I guess it’s kind of hard to focus too much on goodbyes when you’re so focused on what’s in front of you.

So to those in York, I will do my best to savor these goodbyes these next 9 days. To not think too much about this next year.

I’m not promising tears, but I promise it’ll be sweet.

And I’ll see you again. That the cool thing about this world, our God and social media. It all connects us.
