While living out of a backpack and being constantly on the move has not been the easiest, its given me a lot of perspective. Its taught me to value the things that are truly important in ones life and let go of those things that only cause pain and stress. Life on the field is a hard life but one filled with so much simplicity with the Lord. 

Much Love and God Bless
