Yesterday I had the privilege to be surrounded by friends and family as I get ready to embark on a this crazy new mission that God has set me on. I got to treat myself to some red meat before leaving the States cuz you know ya boy is gonna be missing that above all else (teheheh).

 

Real talk, I have been impatient these past few months just really wishing I were gone, but the holidays and days like yesterday help remind me why God had me wait in the first place. I am blessed beyond belief to have such an enormous group of family and friends that have and will continue to love and support me through some of the most difficult of times. I enjoy the laughs but I appreciate the love and support more than I can ever express in words. 

 

While it is incredible to go “be adventurous” and “explore the world”, I’d like to emphasize that this is a mission above All else. A mission given to me by God and only possible because of the love and support continually (almost annoyingly??) provide by my family and friends. 

 

These photos were taken  either yesterday or earlier this week and while they do not include everyone, it’s a good start. Know that I love eacn and everyone of you and I will miss you all while I’m away! ??????????
