![]() The year 2020 has brought many challenges to people globally. Yet, it has brought opportunity to just as many in different variations. For me, 2020 has brought closure to one chapter and opened the door to new and brighter horizons for the next chapter and book. I am excited for the new beginnings in my life, personally, professionally, and relationally. I have literally found "new life" and new opportunities. Although we are a few thousand miles apart right now, we celebrated our first Christmas together. This has been a very fast year for us. We have talked, learned, shared, cried, laughed, prayed, read, studied, skied, ridden camels, swam, walked, eaten special meals, and so much more, all in a long distance relationship (LDR). I am so thankful that we have had the privilege to see each other a couple of times this year so we could continue the development of US. Although we celebrate individually this year, next year will be very different because we will be side by side, together. Her smile, laugh, support, and love will be my present for Christmas and everyday there after. Instead of talking 2-4 hours a day virtually, we will have the privilege of literally turning our heads and be able spend personalized time together. Being in a LDR has offered a great benefit in that it taught us the importance of learning to talk and communicate to/with each other. Although the distance is hard, the connection it has brought has been a wonderful benefit. I look forward to sharing every future Christmas ahead with my Mabel. As she told me earlier this year, "I will not waste a single moment while we are together." She is the kind of woman that makes me only want to be a better man; a better man for her, a better man for myself, and most importantly to be a devout and sincere godly man. Here's to many more amazing and incredible Christmas's together.
