A Letter to Future Goers
Future Goers, First off, before I get into any other thoughts, I want to say that everyone's journey is different. When reading this post, know that what I will say may have some relate-able aspects to it, but will never fully be your experience. Where the Lord is taking you may not be where He has taken me, geographically or spiritually speaking. As well, He may also take you on a different path than He took me.

There were tons of laughs, even some laughs that turned into tears (because we were laughing so hard). There were lessons to be learned, and trips to the Mall of America to be had.
