before beginning.

before beginning again here, you might want to know where i've come from. i returned home about 2 months ago after traveling the world with a missions program called the World Race.

i've found that coming home from a year like i've had has been more difficult than i anticipated. not necessarily the coming home part, but the explaining the last year of my life part. i'm hoping that these next few videos will give you a better understanding of my year -- and why it's just so hard to to put into words. it was the best year ever .... but yet one of the hardest of my life to date. despite everything, i wouldn't go back on my decision to go on the World Race, and i know that i'm more "me" because of this last year of my life.

i hope you enjoy the quick glimpse!
