there's about 364 ways to get wherever you want to go.

trust me,

I've taken them all

I thought to myself on my way to work today.

I don't follow footsteps of my past,

weaving my path in & out of streets i've never walked

across roads i've never crossed.

nobody said it was easy

no one ever said it would be this hard

I'm filled with temporary doubt

(temporary I hope)

this 1st day, it was absolutely overwhelming

I don't know if I can do it.

I don't know if I am strong enough

but it seems like my boss believes in me

I don't want to let anyone down.

I want to do great

but I feel so in over my head.

I need to find my balance,

something to stand for.

on my way to work this morning, I found myself dedicating my service to Adeline. This service is for her because in way or another it will get me back to her, back to the girls of Africa.

silly I moved to Alaska to make that happen, but I truly think deep down that it will.

this is the path I chose,

or rather that has been chosen for me

& I just need to trust

that it will get me where I'm meant to be.
