Leaving is hard but I wanted to share some things I'm thankful for:

I'm thankful for friends who believe in me and the mission and ministry I'm doing enough to support me with their finances and prayers

I'm thankful for my church community and the families who love me well

I'm thankful for my amazing friends who make life silly and fun, who hold me accountable, and push me toward Jesus

I'm thankful for the high school kids I've been so close with, I appreciate their honesty, rawness, love and they way they know how to have fun

I'm thankful that I got to celebrate Sarah and Micah's wedding with them

And I'm thankful that I have friends I'm excited to see when I land in Germany in route to Italy.

With that, I'm off!
