Hopeful journeys....and ramblings of other sorts
man
i really want to go somewhere. REALLLY REALLY BADLY.
as in another country.
I was supposed to go on a mission trip to here:
Peru, up into the Andes, this summer with my dad. I was unsure of going at first, but the more I prayed about it, the more confident I felt about wanting to go. But the group that was in charge of putting it together hasn't been able to do it for whatever reason, so it looks like that trips going to be a no-go.
Then there was another trip planned to go near
Tibet, or somewhere near the Himalayas. I REALLY wanted to go to that. It sounded simply amazing, being able to go to that part of the world and speak with people you have almost nothing in common with. But now that trip isn't working out either.
So nowwwwwww, I don't know what I'm going to do this summer. I really feel like God wants me to do something like this... i mean, i love traveling, i love seeing new things and different cultures( i mean seriously,like half of my friends in high school were foreign exchange students), so why not put my passions to good use and reach out and help others?
I'm so tired of living for myself. I'm tired of always thinking about what I want to do, what I feel like doing, what stuff I want to buy for myself. I mean yeah, I'm human: I let myself get consumed in my thoughts of what I want to do with my life, but I need to let God guide me in what to do with my life. I get so wrapped up in loosing weight (i've lost 15 lbs in the last few months, by the way!), getting new clothes and cds, etc etc. I want to help other people out. I've been truly blessed in this short lifetime of mine, the least I could do is begin to share what I do have with those who are less fortunate. I know all of this sounds korny, but hey, thats how I feel and I just have to get it out.

i can't believe i just wasted the last HOUR and a HALF to put those two pictures up. You guys better appreciate my copy and pasted pictures off of google.I really love when I forget the name of the picture files website that all of my photos are stored onto.
well now that i just wasted a crapload of time, I have to go to bed.
I think the fact that my brother is going to be living here:
in Taiwan for the next year has also tugged on that urge to get out somewhere like that.
Maybe I'll visit him once he's out there.
I WILL, I REPEAT, WILL LEAVE THIS COUNTRY SOMETIME THIS YEAR!!!
(i hope)
