So i’ve been thinking and praying a lot about traveling…i’ve come to the realization that maybe its okay that i’m not sure where i’m going after college…or in life in general. It always bothered me when people would tell me that they knew exactly where they were going and doing for the rest of their life….i guess it made me feel inferior to them because I didn’t know what the crap I was doing or where I was going to live. My thing is, a like a lot of stuff. I like art and photography and missions and office jobs and cute little cafe’s. I like city’s and suburbs and a little country and other countries. I don’t see myself really settiling down anywhere anytime soon. I’m single, young, don’t have any attachments to anyone or thing. I’m not stuck in a certain place…its like i have the world at my finger tips and I can decide to go anywhere and do anything. Yes money is definatly a main factor in traveling….but i want to see the world. There’s so much more then the south or north to life. There’s whole other countries and millions of different cultures! I want to see them. I don’t want to just know selfish america (don’t get me wrong I love it! and love traveling around here too) I want to see how other people live and see how God created other people and how their lives are going. I love to observe. I am extremlly good at that. So loving and traveling and observing and building relationships is what I want to do. I’m going to take advantage of the freedom I have in life right now. Of course I want to settle down and have a family and kids one day. I can’t wait to experience falling in love, getting married and building that relationship until I die. But that’s not now and i’m not going to be a girl that is letting the world pass her by while she’s waiting on prince charming to show up. And I don’t want the guy i’m going to marry to be sitting around just thinking about getting married and never get to experience life and people.(reminds me of some people at my school! you don’t have to be married to experience life!!!!!! or do things in life or do ministry!!) I want him to be passionate about life. God’s stiring this passion for people in my heart and I’m LOVING it! I’m weeding through my meaness and unmerciful and selfish ways and seeing people more for who they really are…which are a people who Christ is passionately seeking…how awesome is it to know that every face you look into is being pursued by Christ and He desiring a relationship for them! I can’t fully understand that but it makes me excited and freaks me out at the same time…haha

well anyway…i’ve been thinking a lot about this lately and uh i finally had words to get some of it out :)

So this weeked my parents and two little brothers are coming into town. Armond is going to try and fix my car….i’m hoping that he can get it to work because its killing me not having a car…or being able to get a job. Kevin’s birthday is on sunday, I bought a cookie cake and some balloons today at walmart…so were gonna have a little party for him on saturday night while their in town.
