I always have a hard time trying to figure out how to start a blog post. Especially when you don't really know what you're trying to say. Well here goes nothing and I apologize if it doesn't make sense ahead of time. Saying I have a lot of my mind is putting it mildly, lol.
I should probably be packing right now, but I'd rather get some things off my chest AND type on my new laptop I bought to take on the WR with me that way I can stay in contact with all YOU, my awesome supporters, family and friends, while I'm gone. It's about mid-morning and I'm eating breakfast which consists of Dr. Pepper and fruit snacks. I'm listening to a mixture of Taylor Swift/Lecrae Pandora playlists just thinking on all this change. I leave for Training Camp in about two days! I feel like…scratch that, I KNOW I'm not prepared! I know I'll probably never feel fully prepared at any point in life, but I find this especially true when you are 45 days away from leaving America for 11 months. I know God can use me and I know He will. I suppose that should be me sole focus and let go of all the other "junk."
I said the first of MANY goodbyes yesterday to the people I work with. To put it plainly it really sucked! I'm one of those guys who wear my emotions on my sleeve so I'm naturally not good with goodbyes. In order to not break down, I have to get away as quick as possible while lying to myself saying that I will see them tomorrow and when I say tomorrow I actually mean about 13 months from now at the earliest. A BIG thanks to Carolyn Zook, DeAnn Baker, Carol Bartlett, Janae Finger and last but not least Carrie Reece for giving me a job to look forward to each day, and a place I could learn about life. I will forever value our conversions about politics, life and faith. I'll miss you all. Take care!
Blessings,
Chandler
