This past year has been filled with parties and
celebrations. new opportunities and goodbyes. changes and constants. old
friends and new ones.
It’s been a lot of a lot of things, and I’m so very thankful
for all that it has been. I’m thankful for God’s presence through it all—for
him holding my hand and giving me opportunities to grow and helping me when
I’ve needed it. I’m thankful for the last year I was able to spend with good
friends at Taylor. I’m thankful for all of the time and effort professors
poured into me and the skills and knowledge they provided me with. I’m thankful
for one professor in particular who knew me well enough to encourage me to look
into an opportunity with Back2Back Ministries. I’m thankful for Back2Back staff
who have supported me. And I’m thankful for all of you! For friends and family
who have invested in me and asked me about how I’m doing and decided to partner
with me as I begin serving orphans in Quintana Roo with Back2Back staff in
January—for everyone who has prayed for me, talked with me, and helped me reach
96% funding for this adventure.
I hope that the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons lead you
to reflect on your blessings and that these thoughts give you encouragement and
joy. Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving!
