Dirk's Final Words
I guess I want to start by just thanking the Lord for this unbelievable blessing. This whole thing has been a wild trip. I want to thank the Lord for first of all sending his son Jesus Christ to die for me and for his entire creation so I can join him in Heaven one day. I want to thank him for sending me to another part of his beautiful creation. I want to thank Jesus my Lord for just giving me the strength and the mind, the body and the health just to be part of something like this.
I want to thank the Lord for the beautiful team he blessed me with. I want to thank the Lord for Sonja and the person he created in her. I want to thank the Lord for Stacey and the person he created in her. I want to thank him for Sean. I want to thank him for Rudy. I want to thank him for Richard. I want to thank the Lord for everyone else involved in the cast. I want to thank him for the crew and everybody involved. It has been an incredible blessing for me. Thank the Lord for Mark for allowing me to be here and for everyone who picked me.
I want to thank the Lord for the beautiful weather we've had here. I want to thank the Lord for the protection we've had since we've been here. I want to thank the Lord for the blessing of food every day. I want to thank the Lord for his plan. I want to thank the Lord for allowing me to fail. If I've failed in some way, I'm very surprised. I thank the Lord for the surprise of being here tonight. I'm completely surprised for being taken out this early. I thank the Lord for that because I know he's got a plan for me to move on somewhere else.
I've got to thank God for the awesome opportunity. If anybody watching hasn't had the opportunity to meet God through Jesus Christ, let me tell you it's unbelievable. The spirit will change your life today. If you want to take care of it, just come talk to me we'll handle it right now. I'll whip the word. Actually I left my bible back at the camp just in case anybody needed it, just in case I was voted off tonight. Anyway, we can still pray tonight. The Lord has given me so much and this show is just a continuation of it.
Tomorrow I have no clue what the Lord will give me and I'm so thankful for this entire event in my life. It just blows my mind. It's a blessing from God and I know that. I'm not sure why he yanked me so quick, but I know I tried my best. I had the most fun I could. I worked the hardest I could. I went after it and some people didn't see it that way, so I'm gone. The word tells us we're more than conquerors. What does the Lord not have his hand in? He has his hand in everything. I was voted out for a reason. I don't know that, but the Lord will make it clear. I still can't believe I couldn't catch a fish. Maybe I'm not as good a fisherman as I thought, but you know something like this challenges you.
I felt like I answered the call the best I could. Obviously it wasn't good enough. I couldn't go the distance. The only reason I came here was to go the distance and there wasn't a day until I saw that third vote I didn't think I would make it. Until I saw that I thought I was going the distance. I did in my heart what I thought was right. I thank the Lord for the strength to be able to stand up, just to do what's right. It's not a problem for me to be cut tonight, because I'll be kicking it somewhere else tomorrow and somewhere the next day. I'm very thankful. Thank you God. Thank you
Lord. Thank you Jesus Christ. Thank you Holy Spirit. Thanks for all those supporting and praying for me. I love you guys. I love everything going on here. You guys take of your selves. I've got some partying to do y'all.
