Thought for the week...

As you read all of this, I know you're probably thinking, "Not again!" Me, too. Nobody said this trip was going to be easy. For the first twenty-five years of my life I did whatever I wanted and life was easy for me. I know that the next twenty-five years of my life are going to be much harder. This trip has been a one hundred times harder than I ever could have imagined and I am glad for that. It makes the goal that much sweeter. Some people say that this is a great adventure. I have never thought of this trip as an adventure. This trip is a mission and just the beginning toward the ultimate goal. Even facing all of these challenges, I will never give up.
