Well…being the praying type…you have been on my heart these past weeks and its just taken me time to remember that my blog is connected to your blog…As one who grew up in the city and still wonders what it would be like to live in a loft apartment in the arts district and walk to work and various sundries…I say let the adventure begin! I am praying and will be, but just wanted you to know that you have a large extended family behind you, and although we’ll be minus one very special friend here, we’re in your corner. “He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge…”

“I’m ecstatic, terrified, anxious, overwhelmed, and at peace all at once.”

That is exactly how I felt when I was about to get married and move to Japan. I told my friend John, “I am absolutely terrified, but I still want it more than anything else I’ve ever wanted.” I think God gives us that certainty to battle the fear when we need it. I’m so glad to call you a friend, and really proud of you for taking a step of faith and going for something you dream about. We will miss you immensely, but I am so excited for the next few months of your life to roll out – I know you won’t have any regrets!

Love you!

I know I’ve already said this offline, but I wanted it recorded that I’m so excited for you, proud of you, and excited to see how you kick Chicago in the face in these coming months.

I’ll miss you a ton man. I hope this time is amazing for you. I can’t wait for the updates!

Caleb, I’m so excited for you. Kelsey decided to leave the country for six months, you’ve decided to move to a city you’ve never visited, and I’m moving to Denton.

Well, I have to start somewhere…

Brother, I’m so immensely proud of you for taking this leap! I definitely concur with Dad–better to take the chance and fail magnificently than to not take it at all. I can’t wait to see what happens to you in the Windy City. And as one of those “praying types,” count on me to keep you lifted up for 6 to 9 months.

Huh. If this had happened a year or so earlier, we could’ve hung out in the city. You know, painted the town red. Caught a Cubs game.

Alas, providence forbade.

Caleb-

I am a bit jealous of your new adventure, but mainly in awe! I have left a job once in my life when I did not have another one and I must say it was scary and exciting at the same time. Chicago sounds like a great landing place and I look forward to watching you from a far via this blog. I cannot imagine that you will not have success but for sure it will be a time in your life that you always remember and have stories to tell!! Blessings and best wishes!

Just as taking chances may result in great success or stunning failure, not taking chances ususally results in mediocrity – in my mind a much worse fate than a stunning failure. I have had both great successes and humbling failures in my past and have learned much from both. I suspect mediocrity was never really an option for you. Fly well, my young falcon!

Caleb, I believe with all my heart that one can never go wrong when stepping outside one’s comfort zone. After you do it you realize how jumping off the cliff isn’t so impossible or out of reach as it might seem. This should be an inspiration to us all and is a bucket of cold water to my face to step out and not wait until I feel “ready” to do so. If we don’t do it now, we leave room for the unwanted companionship of regret. I’m proud of you. You’ve got my prayers!
