Hello dear family and friends,

If I’m being honest, it took me a while to think of how to start this letter. I am here sitting on the couch watching TV, thinking how do I go about writing this. And I realized, isn’t this the perfect example of a comfortable life? Comfort is addicting. I could stay here on the couch, keep living this comfortable life, waiting for retirement, hoping I get that promotion at work, living for the weekend, working toward buying that new car or buying that new house. The American dream, that is what I could get. And as much as I want that, as much as I have been taught that that is what I should want, working at a bank that literately tells you that is what you should be working toward. Financial independence, achieving your dreams, getting everything you want, the security of living your life knowing every step, it all sounds too good to pass up. And as much as that sounds nice, I feel the Lord has called me to leave it all behind……
