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

It’s so great to hear about what God is doing in and through you. I am so proud of you!
Thanks for normalizing missing home & reminding me of all the things the world race has actually created healthy distance from. Love ya brother!
Okay Jaden this is BOLD. I loved it and resonate so deep with most of those (maybe except watching the broncos lose!). Embracing the uncomfortable, the good stuff, and everything in between. Life overseas is a different kinda beat! I’m here for it. Love you, brother!
