December has been an extremely busy yet rewarding month. Goodbyes are tough but knowing you are in God's will is peaceful. I have been able to build new relationships, strengthen old relationships, and spend lots of time with family and friends.
Many people have given, prayed, and encouraged me through this journey. Christmas in Cleveland and Kentucky was rewarding and refreshing. Friends and family gave in a remarkable way and with some technology, I can now keep in touch with people.
I recently had a reception in which I was blessed with family and friends helping see me off. From coaches, to college roommates, bosses, church friends, and family, all came to show support. Walnut Memorial Baptist has been an incredible support financially as well as praying for me. Friends have housed me and had me over or out to dinner and just great times of fellowship. I appreciate all of your support.
Two bags are packed and my brother is hosting a going away dinner tonight in Bowling Green with great friends. Tomorrow I will say some final goodbyes and spend my last night with Mom and Jim before being commissioned at church on Sunday. Sunday night I will go to Columbia in which more family and friends will gather for my last supper and I will spend the night with Dad and T. Monday I will have breakfast with my dad and he will take me to Bowling Green to meet Mom and Jim who will drop me off at the Nashville airport and I will be on my way to Haiti. Prayers are appreciated!!!!
