Holy Moly, Me Oh My! I will go into the sky.

Well, it is absolutely hard to believe that within 8 hours I will be on a plane just about to take off heading for Toronto. This is the last look at the Vancouver night skyline that I will get in 6 months. I better take a few moments to take it in. It sure is beautiful, not many places in the world are this beautiful. I will miss thee Vancouver, you and your wonderful people and hockey (not sure which I will miss more).

It is at this point that I also have to stop and praise God for how faithful he has been in providing for this trip, and not only that but in providing me with amazing family, friends, and community all around me. I really hope I was able to thank each and every person who has spent time praying for this trip and supporting me through so many different ways. Your friendships and care for me has blown me away over the past month. I actually was brought to a few manly tears of shear awe at how incredible everyone who is around me is. I cannot thank each and everyone of you enough. I cherish your prayers and your friendships, and each one of you will be sorely missed. I can't promise to count down the days until my return because this is going to be an amazing trip where incredible things will happen all around me and in me. God is so faithful, and as so many people told me, if I draw near and close to Him this trip, it will be unreal (a bit of a paraphrase)!!! Anyways, time for some zzz's before tomorrow, and then it is off to Toronto to see my brother. Goodbye Vancouver and all of those whom I love within in its boundaries. I look forward to our reunion.

Love and blessings to you all,

Thomas
