The Aleatorios



This is my Costa Rican Family. From left to right: Burcu, Morgan, Nate, Drew, and me.

We’ve lived together, prayed, laughed, cried, told life stories and shared faiths. We come from different places, and are at different places in our own individual lives. We each are unique, having personal quarks and isms, having different tastes and ideas. None the less, our random lives have brought us together. Our random personalities merge too perfectly. Our random struggles, dreams, fears, and hopes bind us strongly and wonderfully. We all take life as it comes; all trusting and praising God.

Our little random family has a last name; we are The Aleatorios or The Randoms. We embrace our eccentricity and distinctiveness. We will continue to love and pray for each other even as the miles between us grow. God brought us together for a reason, and although we’re not sure what that is at the moment, we’re forever grateful that He did. These four, my best friends, will always be a blessing in my life.
