I can see the end in sight, the end of the chapter coming
very soon, only a few pages left. What an incredible chapter it has been. How
could I possibly recap the past year of adventure, soul searching, joy,
happiness, love, highs, lows, trials, fear, pain and just about every feeling
one could possibly feel?
One -twenty-second of my life on spent circumnavigating this
planet in great effort to make it a better place. Hundreds of lives touched
along the way, but none more so than my own. The journey spent with dozens and
dozens of my brothers and sisters who were all but strangers not long ago. I peer back at the pages of my life in the
past several months and memories begin to flood my mind. How do I possibly move
on while there is so much to look back upon and relish?
After spending a year with the same people every moment of
every day how could I possibly leave their side? We crammed into small
vehicles, piling onto one another’s laps. We shared hotel beds and even limited
floor space to lay our heads down. Life was crowded as we traveled around, but
ever so cozy.
I sit here in the Los Angeles airport alone and sad. My
brothers and sisters have all gone their separate ways, each to continue their
lives. Some are flying home. Some are road tripping. Others are preparing to go
back out into the nations because their calling overseas has not yet been
fulfilled.
Alas, this amazing chapter has drawn to a close, but a new
chapter has officially begun. Every single person I was privileged to travel
the globe with is beginning a new season. So let’s make the most of it. Let us easily
recall the past memories and experiences we went through for it is these very
memories and experiences that define where we are and WHO we are today. Let us remain present and lead by the Spirit at
all times, making the most of every single moment as we eagerly anticipate what
the future holds.
It’s been a beautifully, bumpy ride. I love you all.
