Half Way There

Chow everybody,

So I made it to the great land of the Germans, flowing with beer and chocolate. My journey so far has taken me to Sea-Tac, WA for 10 hours then 11 hours across the world to Frankfurt, DE. Now I am sitting near my gate, which is oddly under construction, but I am trying not to worry. Ha. I have been here since 12:30 local time and my flight is boarding at 2100. So I get another wonder filled layover. It is such a good thing that my flights were put years apart from each other because I have had to circumnavigate both airports. I wonder if I just don’t understand terminal maps or it’s really that confusing. I really think I took every back road and alley I could to get to the right gate. I really don’t make things easy for myself, but hey that’s the excitement of traveling.

But now after some free coffee that tasted like water, I have a moment to sit down and breathe.

I have to be honest with all of you now. I want you all to know the thoughts of my heart as I write this blog.

There are two ways to look at my trip, one being I am coming back to Germany to continue my mission I started two years ago. Or the second is, I am leaving Bozeman to move into a new life. I am really torn between the two thought patterns. I did not realize how hard it would be to say goodbye to my friends in Bozeman. I know I will see all of them again one sunny day. However, I would miss waking up and seeing their unique faces. I need to shout out to Mike Keller, you are really my best friend. I looked up to you all summer and I still do. You are one strong man. I was stoked the day I realized we were good friends, if not the best. I’m going to miss you man.

I have so much to say about all my friends, you guys are the ones that kept me wanting to push through the dark down days. I love all of you. In the best way, all of you are the reason I am headed back to Germany to pursue my purpose in life. I don’t want to be like you are the reason I am leaving but in the best way you all are. I felt so supported by each one of you. Whether or not you believed in the same vision as I do, you still told me to chase down my dreams and not stop till I changed the world. Thank you for that.

It doesn’t stop here guys, and girls; I am just now walking into the front lines of this battlefield. I still need to hear the shouts and encouragement of you guys as I fight forward. I know you wont leave me out here by myself.

I want to hear from you and about your life.  That is just as encouraging as a few nice words in an email. So I challenge you this week, to find fifteen minutes and write me some praise about your life or ask me a question you are asking your self. Lets get involved in each others lives.
