A Tribute to my Oklahoma Friends and a New Phase

I met many amazing people this year who taught me a lot and who mean a lot to me. They were my brothers and sisters, my role models, my dear friends, my second, third, fourth, etc. moms, dads, and grandparents, and just some really good people. Thank you for being the friend I needed when all seemed hopeless or when I just needed to talk. Thank you for persevering and showing me that I can lead and love people to Christ. Thank you for helping me to see that all the investment and giving of myself is worth the cost. Thank you for not giving up on me or yourself. Thank you for being my dad and my mom when I needed it the most. Thank you for hugging me when I felt unlovable. Thank you for being my little sisters and trusting me to be your friend and someone to look up to. Thank you for trusting Christ in me and pulling out what I had to give from the Father. Thank you for loving me, and thank you for being a part of my growth. You know who you are, and what you have done and who you are should not go unnoticed or unmentioned. Bless you all as I move on, and know that you played a vital role in my life and will never be forgotten. I pray all of your journeys are filled with life, joy, and beauty.
And now I wait in eager anticipation for what this year and the following years hold. This will be just one more stepping stone to becoming the world-changer God wants me to be as I am trained in my passions like writing, and so on. Thank you everyone who has supported me and prayed for me while I've been gone, and CCK, it's so good to be back. Thank you for welcoming me so heartily.
