Isaiah 30:21 This is the way, walk in it. I have shared this text many times before because it is a message I need to heed, and most likely, so do you.

I want for my final thoughts to be about the people I’ve met, the community I did my best to serve, the memories I’ve made and how thankful I am for them, and every word of the parting letter I want to write would be true.
