Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes are all yours to make.
The mold of your life is in your hands to break.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
Friends,
So tonight is our last night at home before we leave for Kenya. We are pretty much all packed, completely excited, a little anxious, and very blessed to be going on an adventure like this. It's so crazy, I thought this day would never come. I know that we are going to experience all of the stories and lives changed through the work that Compassion does, but I can't help but think I am never going to be the same. I don't deserve the life I live, and I'm so grateful. I just wanted to say thanks to all of our friends and family that have supported us in this journey. Mom-mom and pop-pop, Lydia and Eddie, Josh, you're one of the most sacrificial beautiful people I've ever met. Thanks to Dan and Husam. You guys are my brothers - thanks for all the encouragement and to Shabana for all the cool gifts that I'm sure the kids will be thrilled to get! I'm so excited to be a part of this, and hope that we can shine Christ's love through all that we do. Friends, pray for us that we would glorify God in our actions and in our words. I am excited to meet new people, fellow travelers, Compassion staff, and all of the children and families touched by Compassion. If you are interested in seeing what Compassion is about or if you want to sponsor a child go check out their website www.compassion.com
They are legit. Transforming the lives of so many people around the world. I love it. Here are some pictures of the packing process. Mia was very helpful.
