That's what Google defines me as. That's not so bad. It also says something about a mans straw hat but I don't think a straw hat is what my parents had in mind when they named me. I love that my name reflects who the Lord created me to be, but I feel that Google missed the memo about all the things that define me.

So here is my supplemental guide to defining myself (in no particular order).

I'm ready for this next season of unstoppable growth. I'm ready to continue growing closer to the Lord. I'm ready to learn the skills necessary to run an international non-profit. I'm ready to say "Yes," when all I want to do is say "No, Wait, Stop, You've got to be kidding!" And I'm ready to give up my great job, the safety of my wonderful community, the fear of the unknown and make my small dent in the world.

I'm ready for the World Race.

Please follow along on my journey.
