From the wonderfully helpful boys in the kitchen, Blake, Will, Marcus, Brandon, and the ‘click click’ that came from Chris D and his camera, who all braved the icy Atlantic for a few minutes of brilliant exhilarating fun, to endless hours of ‘would you rather’ and giggles with Leslie, Ashley, Andrea and Roshni. From flaming Rachel [literally] to ‘yeeha!’ Sam. Heather with her Polaroid journal, Jade, Mindy and Steph, who silently braved the ‘dog box’ [back of the van]. My home-girls, Hannah and Nicole-always helpful and full of nonsense, Chicago Jen and oh-so-cool Chris P. Who would have thought this herd of students from Belmont Tennessee could capture my heart so.?
One of the greatest things about a big group of people, is the celebration of diversity. Each one with unique gifts, talents and character, comes together to form a fascinating, radical team. ‘We can do more together than we can apart’, comes to mind as a wonderful reality. I know that the time, energy and love given has impacted many, the fruit of which may never be seen by you. But more than what you have given, I think is what you come away with. I love the way we intend to ‘change the world’, but come away having been changed ourselves. I pray that you would allow each experience, each relationship, each hardship and each joy to shape you, never to be the same again. There is ALWAYS more than you could ever see, ever dream or imagine, when you co-labour with God . . . He is infinite.
Thank you for being a part of a very significant season in my life. I really hope we meet again. With much love and Blessings…
