I have no idea how to even explain this extreme range of feelings that I am feeling right now. I am so excited to come home and begin a completely new stage of my life. I am equally sad to end a stage of my life that I never could have anticipated. The Word has lead me here and the Word has lead me home to a different way of sharing the Truth that shapes my life. He has shown me so much about his love, his grace, his mercy, and his plan for me.
This time has reinforced to me that football breeds teammates and friends. More than that though, it creates brothers. The men that I have met with here have become my family in just a few months. I will miss the people here so much. They are friends that I will never forget. I absolutely can not wait to come back here.
I felt like I was going to sit down and write this deep, meaningful post about my time here; the things I have learned, the things I will miss, the things I won't miss, and the people I have come to love. I was wrong. The words won't come. I would love nothing more than to pour out my heart in this blog, but how do you pour out what is overflowing? Amid all the thoughts and feelings all I can think of is how truly blessed I have been by our Father and how His love has filled my heart to overflowing. You can not pour out something that is overflowing from an infinite well of perfection. I try to pour it out and it keeps overflowing. My meager skill with words does not do justice to this condition people call salvation or perfect justification. These terms can not and do not come close to describing what we have. This perfect justification with the Father through the Father is but a mere foreshadowing of our being in the presence of the the great I Am.
My rambling is finished. Hopefully I will be able to write a post that makes more sense and I will add some pictures of my last few days as well.
