TO GAP D.

I think that this is going to be the hardest blog for me to write. Not only because I don’t want to say goodbye but also how can I possibly explain how much this group of strangers that became my family mean to me. I feel like one of the best ways to describe these past nine months of my life is that you just had to be there. And the 30 people that I met in September have been there for every dance party, celebration, tear and mental breakdown. They have been there and they get it. They understand and even when they don’t they would drop everything just to love you as hard as they could. 

This family of mine is on fire for the Lord and are in full pursuit of something so much bigger than themselves. They are so deeply in love with the Father and I have had the privilege of watching them fall deeper everyday. They call out the beautiful things and the hard things in each other and would fight for each other without question. They were created not only to love and be loved but to change the world. I believe that each and every single one of them is ending this season ready to walk into the next fighting for His kingdom, no matter what it looks like. 

Gap D, we have walked through a lot together. From Cohorts and bucket showers to dance parties on Alfredos bus. There are so many memories I never want to forget. It’s been such an honor to love you and be loved by you. All I can say is Thank you! Thank you for every late night of Uber eats and five crowns. Thank you for every bus ride we screamed songs off the speaker all the way home. Thank you for all the laughs, the cries and the hard conversations. Thank you for being pure reflections of the Fathers love to me. Thank you for all the stories and the memories we have made together. You all are forever my family. I know when I look back on this season I will smile big, remembering how good the Lord is for letting me spend nine months of my life with all of you. So goodbye for now. 

And as Madie says…

Love you all so BIG!!
