The Call of the Wild
Thoughts - I have been bitten by the travel bug. I want to visit every single country in the world. Switzerland is currently my favorite. Walking the streets of Bern at night was enthralling: the city became alive at twilight--my favorite time of day. I might find myself in Munich during Spring Break. I've found a fairly good deal on a roundtrip ticket. I'm all up for going homeless, but my friends want to waste money on a hotel. haha C'est la vie.
Spiritual Life - I've signed up for leader training with Young Life. I was swayed by Alice's passion for Young Life, so I thought I would attend a meeting. Apparently it is a bigger commitment than I am ready for, but I think I'm going to stick it out. I was tad put off at first, because they talked about a two year commitment. BUT, I love God, and I love kids, thus Young Life is the perfect opportunity to serve God through loving kids. And I doubt the training will be as demanding as they hint.
College - There is no better American city than Seattle. Yes, San Diego's throne has been usurped. I am completely happy here. I know 100% that this is where I am supposed to be. During the president's speech, he talked about the good, the true, and the beautiful; at that moment, I knew I was home. What other school president pushes for the ideals like my highschool academic dean? I was in love with TGS, and now I'm in love with SPU.
Speculations - Life gets better and better, because of my changing perspecitives. Looking back and seeing the bitter part of life, the sweet part is so much more beautiful. And even through pain, I can see the good that comes and will come. I feel as if I will be happy forever. I think God has revealed the secret to happiness. Not fame, nor money, not cars, nor romance compares even slightly to the complete assurance of utter bliss that awaits me after death.
Rave - Logic is my new best friend.
