From journal: Have I done all that I can do? Did I embrace this mission trip to its fullest? Do I have any regrets? Perhaps missing comfort too much that I didn’t fully breathe in every moment. Because of that, I now wear a bracelet that I never take off: “Every moment is a gift […]
From journal: INTO ALASKA One of the weirdest days of my life ”“ never mind trip. You expect one thing and another thing happens. So much tension. I didn’t ride across the border like I wanted to, but for a totally understandable reason. I think I gained new insight into selflessness when Whitney spoke in […]
