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.

In order of regularity, you can expect communication from :

1. www.twitter.com/collin_love
2. facebook
3. text messages
4. this blog
5. phone calls
6. letters

Love you,

Collin

You know life is good when sleep really is a luxury! I'm so excited for you, and envious at the same time :P

I'm taking a semester off for college.. who knows how long, and just trying to be positive and being a good person. I like your cause more though! Can you link me more info?

let me know if twitter is worthwhile. if not, facebook will do!

Take it easy. I'll write random stuff to you when you're on the road. As the Koreans say, aja aja fighting! It's like a fight mantra to live by. But you've got it down yo!
