Blessed

As the clock winds down to the day I leave for San Diego, I've been really taking time to pray and consider what I'm going to do and the friendships I will leave and the ones I will make. It's hard. I'm so fortunate to have a group of friends that are honestly more like family. I'm going to miss them more than I can express with words. I'm blessed enough to have learned how to trust people, how to be vulnerable with them, how to love them more than I ever imagined I could, how to laugh, cry, and pray with them. I know this is not the norm. I know God has given me more than I could ever hope to deserve. Even if he had only given me one of them, that would be too much.

I've also been lucky enough to start talking with my teammates. They are incredible people. I can't even begin to imagine how great they are and how well our team will work together. I'm so excited because I feel that we're all going to be able to be open and comfortable. I feel like we all just want to love people. And that is exciting. I can't wait to see all the different strengths of each of my teammates.

I believe I am the luckiest person alive. My life is so incredibly filled with God's grace and mercy and joy. Perfect.
