A hodgepodge update…

Ok, i think i owe you a lot of material here. Lately, i’ve been struggling to find the time to write about all that is happening here. I really love to write and keep everyone in the loop of my life in China, but we have been so busy since arriving in Beijing. [...]

The first glimpse [Video]

It’s all a blur right now.

Alright everyone, i’m here. I made it to Beijing about an hour ago. I have no idea what time it is or what day it is, but i’m here. I’m staying in a really nice place so i’ll be sure to throw some pictures on here later. I don’t have much [...]

Go Forward

The story in Exodus 14 is a great example of my current situation. Let me try to sum it up for you. Basically Moses has led the people out of Egypt and to the Red Sea. However, Pharoah’s heart has become hardened and he is now going after the Israelites. The [...]

I’m in California

On my way out of town yesterday I stopped at a traffic light and took a moment to stare at Samford Hall and remember the past six and a half years of life in Auburn. It was in that moment that i realized this isn’t going to be easy. It became clear that my life [...]

Last real day

It’s the final full day of living in Auburn. It’s exciting. Scary. And even weird. The never-ending to do list continues to be never-ending. Shoes, at&t, health insurance, UPS, QiQi’s video and photos, a China recommendation for a friend, emails, spend time with friends, fold clothes, start packing, finish packing, [...]

Living like it’s ending

The past two weeks have been amazing. Friends have drawn close together. We’ve shared beautiful moments. We’ve truly lived life and enjoyed one another. We’ve laughed and remembered the good and the bad. We’ve held each other and remembered that we do truly care. We’ve taken pictures so that [...]

Visioning again

Vision for me comes in spurts. Some days i can’t see past the next 5 minutes. But then there are the very special days that i love a lot where i can’t seem to reel myself back into this moment because i am 5 years ahead. Today was one of those special [...]
