i’m going to miss Rodd Lowell. the carpooling of 50 people in 5 vans traveling 28 hours straight only to stop at the craziest gas stations at 2am or to eat at waffle house at 8am. Donna & Harris. sleeping in the church for a week. waking up to race lor to the church showers in the morning. breakfasts & place mats & baked oatmeal. lunches at ECHO. family dinners at night. playing the weirdest games involving balls after work hours. laughing so hard that i almost die every single day. the end of the week talent show. the ocean baptisms. the annual ice cream stop. shepherds & directors leadership meetings in the stairwell. those moments where life seems perfect because everyone i care about is around me, & i’m serving God, & i’m in florida, & nothing else matters… finally, i’m going to miss the man who has my heart, & still does not have a wedding ring.
