I have been reflecting on those people that make up my family today. Its changed in such a major and amazing way.

Besides being the blingingest missionary ever(or just feeling that way), I must say the growth of what I consider my family is a huge blessing. I have more support, care, love, quality, and strength from those around me that I feel its nearly unfair. From my boys and family in Ethiopia, my church and friends in Dc, to my biological family in Philly, and my growing family in other places.. What a huge blessing of people in my life and what conviction to pay it forward I feel.

I am excited to get back to see my boys. They will be so angry at me for being gone way to long, but I am going to hug the crap out of them! Hopefully there won’t be too many injuries from the loving headlocks and wrestling matches upon my return.

I am in awe of what God has done during my time in the US. He has been with the boys and team in Ethiopia and kept them strong, He raised a ton of money, He has given me some added special relationships, and has rejuvenated me more then I could have expected or hoped for.

Thank you Lord for my Family and your Love.
