Above and Beyond
For those of you that don't know my brother and I are moving to New York to start a church called Avaunt Guard. Something I have experienced and have heard from many of my peers is the hypocrisy in the Christian church. I have been in church most my life. I am a firm believer in Christ as my savior, the divinity of the Bible, and the Holy Trinity. But when it comes to the church I see so much negative. The purpose to start a church is not because I believe I am 'holier than thou' it is because I believe God has called me, and everyone, to follow the commandments love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, love your neighbor as yourself. I believe God has called me to do this by way of starting a church with my dear friend, Beth Anna, my baby brother and a few more people. I hope that I can show people what God meant to show the world by sending Jesus, Jesus dying for our sins, and the apostles beginning the Christian church.
Anyway, all that said was to give you a clue as to what I am doing picking up my life, leaving the comfort of my family behind, and taking a blind leap to what I hope is the other side. Without my mother I couldn't do this. She has been my rock through my entire life. She has given me encouragement, wisdom, and this weekend a wardrobe of formal work attire. I know it sounds silly, but without these clothes I wouldn't have the proper attire to get a job that will allow me to achieve what I believe God has called me to do. My mother has gone above and beyond. I don't deserve her.

having the right people in life can make all the difference. Sounds like you're pretty lucky to have your mom and family's support. Don't be afraid to take that leap of faith and that next step to open up new opportunities in your life
