1. Give Generously
Your first thought might be money, but for us it was opportunity
The times they offered to let us watch their home
The 100+ hours spent together at Eagle Creek
The unconditional open communication where honesty was the standard
This was their greatest gift
2. Create a Base Camp
If you’ve ever been inside the Homol house, there is no better word to describe it than “home”
You are always taken care of, offered a meal, invested in, & loved on
That feeling of comfort is a direct reflection of
@AshleyHomol’s intention into her home
3. Boundaries
It’s up to you to determine the trajectory of your relationships
Know your boundaries & be firm on them
You’re not doing anyone any favors by skipping hard conversations
It will come back up in the future much messier than before
Have the conversation
4. My Worth in Christ
They came into my life at a time where they saw my value before I did
Every Sunday there was a spot for me next to them at church
Ashley showed me how to be a woman of God, a wife, and a friend
This is the most important lesson of them all
@AshleyHomol
5. Friendships
As you enter into adulthood, your friendships should as well
Honesty, space, & growth are the standard
If a relationship doesn’t grow you emotionally / spiritually
Then they no longer deserve to speak into your life
6. Speak Truth
MANY times they have had to tell me something I didn’t want to hear
But if they had just kept quiet, what kind of friends would they be?
I’m the woman I am because of the times they had to correct my course
Even if they don’t listen, speak truth
7. Take Ownership
When you mess up, take accountability for your actions
You’re no longer a child
The time for “it wasn’t my fault” is long gone
Screw up in a friendship? Own up to your part
Not seeing results? It’s your responsibility!
Take ownership!
8. Work Harder
Anyone who knows of Zach knows his work ethic
Your apathetic attitude is killing you FAST
I went from an event assistant to running a wedding venue
To now starting my own business
If I remained comfortable, id still work at the front desk
Work harder!
9. Say No
People pleasing gets you in bad situations
It’s okay to say “that doesn’t work for me”
It’s okay to remove yourself from a situation
It’s okay to end a relationship
By saying yes, you’re only doing yourself & the other person a disservice in the end
10. Loyalty
Be loyal to your spouse & your friends
When someone messes with your people = 🖕🏻✌🏻
This doesn’t mean you have to have some big falling out
But it does mean you know where to place that person going forward
Every person I’ve met on Twitter, every opportunity, every friend, it’s all because of
@zachhomol_ This is a community of people that he brought together
People to come to IVB & to Indy for a few days / a week
I got 3 years - connected to the source
What an incredible gift
Zach & Ashley have given me an unbelievable life
I wasn’t deserving of the opportunity, but they gave it anyway
As I move out from under their wing, I am confident in the woman I am
And I am closer to Jesus because of them
Thank you, my dearest friends, for everything ❤️
