Sorry for a couple days off. So my sister came back from the Peace Corp yesterday. It was so good to see, it has been two years she has been serving in the Gambia in West Africa. It has reminded me so much of what sacrifice and service really are. To be away from your family for 2 years, to not have seen her knew niece, or to have celebrated holidays at home. She has given up the luxurious American lifestyle to be with her village and people, because of that, people listened to her and followed her, and others will continue through her whole life.
So it made me think about service and sacrifice and my own life. How I need that to be a more apparent part of what I do each day. What is holding me back.

Truth. Don't wait. Start now.
