Welcome to The Road.


Hello friends,

Thank you for joining me on this adventure. I know its hard to believe, but I've got quite a bit going on, so I'm gonna try and catch everyone up with a Video Update. Hooray for iMovie! Be watching, as I'm hoping to get it up this weekend.

Today we close out the first week of Tour, but it feels like a month. The IC staff told us to "leave it all on the road", and I'm beginning to realize what that means.

Sleep is an absolute luxury.

Wednesday night I passed out with:

gum in my mouth
my clothes still on
my shoes still on
no blanket
no pillow
half my body on a couch.

By Thursday night, our entire team was in a silly state of delirium, and everybody at The Olive Garden probably thought we were high.

We have already impacted so many lives, and I can still be doing a better job: serving more, showing more gratitude, loving better, being more humble, etc.

I continue to be inspired and pushed by my team, and the people we are meeting are nothing less than shocking.

I've never felt this overwhelmed/challenged, but also driven/determined, and also filled/blessed/rewarded.

Welcome to the road.
