Dear Columbus

Dear Columbus,
As I take my badge off and drop my keys and pager, memories rush in. I remember how I clicked submit uncountable times applying to Ohio State. That's only one side of that story. The other side is how since I have worked there, the Lord as been giving me winks. Thank you Lord.
Dear Columbus,
I like how I thought I was grown up till I met you and you really showed me true adulting. You have been kind Columbus, thank you. You changed my thinking and now I think if I have to drive 45 minutes that's far. I used to think that was down the road.
Dear Columbus,
I used to be a straight Ross shopper, you taught me I can find equally great deals in Macy's and Nordstrom and that there are a ton of other stores. Although I somehow end up in gymboree and Carter's
Dear Columbus,
I came to you with lots of questions and unsure of myself. Now the lenses are clearer, I see the path and I am fully trusting.
Dear Columbus,
I came to you and it rocked my friendships and thinned out my "crew" it was hard but look at me now standing taller. I grew in my expectations and devotions learning to give and receive in a judgement free zone. 
Dear Columbus,
I was a bit spiritually drained when I came to you, with no judgement, no pressure, I could just sit, worship, study, meditate, develop, serve. You can only give when you have.
Dear Columbus,
From this unofficial buckeye Thank you.
