It is so hard to say goodbye

When I started this journey, I didn’t know what to expect.  I didn’t expect to write over 100 post, have over 100 subscribers, and close to 500 followers.  I didn’t expect to be seen all over the world.  I didn’t expect to meet the friends that I have made through this.  I just wanted to say thank you.  Each one of us are embarked on the multiple journey’s of life.  I have many journey’s.  The journey of husband, father, follower of Christ, friend, the journey of losing weight, blogger, and the journey of finding my purpose.  That is just to name a few.  I recently have been focusing on purpose, as my church has been starting a series, “what on earth am I here for?” (an updated purpose driven life).  As I read the prologue to Happy, Happy, Happy from the father of the duck dynasty family, he talked about simplifying one’s life.  That along with what I am learning in ‘what on earth am I here for?”, I have come to a conclusion.  I have too many journeys that I am on right now.  I need to simplify and focus.  I need to worry about the journey’s the most affect the eternal, rather than the here and now.  So with that said, my journey as blogger is coming to an end.  Hopefully not forever, but at least for the time being.  I have truly enjoyed my time here, more than I ever thought I would.  And I have really enjoyed being part of this family and the friendship I have made.  I so value you, that I could not stop without saying goodbye.  I really hope that one day, I will revisit this journey, and be able to give it my all.  Thank you so, so much.

Your Friend

John
