Here Goes Everything!
This is my first of hopefully many entries on my newly minted blog! Everything should have purpose or its just wasted breath and time so here is my reasoning behind blogging for all to see: I want to remember everything and I want anyone of you that has an interest in my time abroad to recount my steps as well, if you should so desire. Yes, I am moving to Italy for a semester but I'm truly not trying to make this some lengthy college sabbatical. I honestly believe this is going to be one of the most revealing, enriching, and fun times of my life. Some of you have even shared thoughts with me on how you think this could be a defining moment for my young life. I think it will be, but only if I make is so. If it is possible I want to sap every ounce of experience, every picture, and every lesson out of my time in Europe. I pray that God shows me things I would otherwise overlook. I can see each of these blogs looking like a waterfall of thoughts just pouring out, must like this one. But I hope that as I continue to force myself to write down these journals I will become a better composer. We have all heard it said, the Wise start with the end in mind. I don't want to look to far forward for fear of overlooking the present, but to be able to look back at the end of this journey and read these entries and see in linear fashion how I have grown, well I think that would be a pretty cool thing. That would be good enough for me so that is my purpose and this is my end. I love and miss you all already so Here Goes Everything!

I love you like the brother I never officially had... but secretly always had in you. I know this is going to be big for you, and all I can do when I get jealous is remember that this is your time to grow somewhere else and my time to grow here. I'm bringing you right up to Jesus whenever I remember to pray for you. I pray His Joy is your strength, even when you feel like you can't go one more step and that His perfect love drives out every fear that sneaks into your mind as you're living a new life on your own. I love you cousin. Have extra loads of fun for me. Ciao for now.
