2 years later...

Two years ago today I got to become part of a family I had dreamed of joining one day. This family I joined is the BigStuf family. I gained 15 brothers & sisters. I got to learn from some of the greatest leaders of the church today. I got to become best friends with students passionate about changing the world. I got to be part of something bigger than myself.

I am so thankful for every single thing I got to experience while working at BigStuf.

I am thankful for the friendships I made with the other interns.
I am thankful for the leaders that believed in this generation.
I am thankful for every single person that spoke truth into my life.
I am thankful for the opportunity to go to Kenya.
I am thankful for the opportunity to share my story with campers.
I am thankful for every morning I would wake up exhausted, knowing that God would provide me the energy to get through the day.
I am thankful for every late night conversation I had with someone about how good & faithful God is.
I am thankful to have this experience.
I am thankful to be part of the BigStuf family.

Being part of the BigStuf family for the past 2 years has meant so much to me. Being part of this family means I always have someone to talk to. I always have someone to pray for me. I always have someone to speak truth into my life.

It's so hard for me to explain just how much this family has meant to me. I love the unique friendships we all share. And what I really love is how I am not only friends with people from my year, but also from previous & past years. I love how every year the family just gets bigger & bigger. I love how many of my friends are world changers. I love how they are all so passionate about Jesus.

I have been thinking about the BigStuf fam LOTS today since I met them all exactly 2 years ago. You guys will never know just how much you mean to me---& I miss you all like crazy---Also to those that weren't interns, yall definitely take up a huge place in my heart---yall know who you are.

Much love to each & every one of you. Thankful for the summer we got to do life together. Thankful for the friendships we still share 2 years later...

"From the outside looking in you could never understand it. From the inside looking out you could never explain it."

I can't think of a more appropriate phrase to describe what it is like to be apart of the BigStuf family.

For you interns, some words of wisdom from the song Casey wrote us...

"I don't know where the road will take us when who we are begins to fade. No matter what my heart is saying, my prayers are with you all the way. So hold on to who is never changing, when tomorrow becomes today. And go wherever God is leading, and say a prayer for me along the way."

"Who we are is held in bigger hands, and may He always light your way."

"And even when the tears begin to fall, just close your eyes and memories remind you we're friends for life and that will never change."


Much love,
