To all of my supporters,
Family…
It’s hard to put into words exactly how thankful I am for you and everything you’ve ever done for me. I am truly blessed with the most amazing family in the world. Life without you guys wouldn’t be the same and neither would I. There’s never a time I can’t count on you guys. You’re my support system. You believe in me, even when I don’t believe in myself. You cheer me on and push me even when I want to give up. You are one of the reasons I am who I am today.
We’ve been through a lot in our lives, but without each other we wouldn’t have made it over the treacherous mountains of obstacles. I couldn’t imagine my life without a family like us. A family that is so unique, giving, caring, and loving. A family who will love you unconditionally no matter what. A family who will always have your back, cheer you on, support you and do anything for you.
It is because of you, my lovely parents who raised me up in a Christian home the best you knew how. You planted the seed of Jesus in me and through that I have the strength to grow, take chances, and live, because I know you are always behind me. I am blessed with so many amazing role models to look up to, with a handful of life advice and the ability to spread my wings and fly off into the world on my own with Jesus.
I am sorry it took me being away from home for so long to actually realize who you are to me. Thanks for supporting me through all these 11 plus months! Thanks for letting me spread my wings and be a part of the J-Church family. I am excited to come home to you and do life with you again. I know we all have Changed so with God’s help we will do the best we can to continue to build our relationships with each other.
Thanks again so much for all you do for me. I love you and appreciate you!
To the Rest of my supporters,
I want to say thank you for all your love in also being a part of this 11 month journey. I could not of done this with out you. I was reading in Philippians 1, as I read it I had to think of all of you. I know this was Paul’s letter to the Philippi people but it shared how I felt every time I thought of you I would thank the Lord for you. So a huge thank you to all of you. I love you and appreciate you.
I want to share with you of all the things that the Lord has done for me and also want you to share with me what he has done for you this past year.
Thank you in advance for being gracious to me as I grieve, process and adjust the best way possible this next month and more.
I am coming home to America tomorrow June 22. I ask that you would pray for me to stay steadfast and faithful to the Lord.
I will continue to pray and thank the Lord for you.
I love all of you and appreciate you.
Philippians 1:1-11
“This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus. I am writing to all of God’s holy people in Philippi who belong to Christ Jesus, including the church leaders and deacons. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now. And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. So it is right that I should feel as I do about all of you, for you have a special place in my heart. You share with me the special favor of God, both in my imprisonment and in defending and confirming the truth of the Good News. God knows how much I love you and long for you with the tender compassion of Christ Jesus. I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ —for this will bring much glory and praise to God.”
