Here I am, starting yet another blog. Hopefully this one will take off, and I'll update it more faithfully. I decided to create a new one because I basically stopped updating my old one, and also, it's theme is kind of irrelevant now. It was titled "Life of a College Israelite." And well... I'm not in college anymore. I guess I'm probably still an Israelite.. Meaning that I am still in my dumb sin cycle; going back and forth just like the Israelites in the period of the Judges.
ANYWAYS, life is pretty interesting right now. Kind of... I'm adjusting to being a normal working person, which is so so so strange. I have a 9-5 job, and I think I like it. The job is great, the people are wonderful, but I just can't help but think that there's more to life than working 9-5. Even when you're working in a nonprofit.
I believe some people aren't satisfied to just sit at a desk and work all day.
I believe that some people were called to so much more.
I believe that in order to be satisfied, some people need to be contributing some good to society, they need community, they need to know that they're actually making a change.
I believe that work and play and life can all come together.
I believe that I was called for all these things.
(side note: the funny thing is that all of these come true when I'm at camp during the summer) :)
But anyways, these things are all reasons why I believe that I'm supposed to be leaving the country soon. I don't know what this means. Whether it means after July 3rd (when my job ends), after camp this summer, or after my lease ends in May 2015, but I know that the next place I live will probably not be in the good ole' USA.
So lately, I've been looking at different programs of different lengths. They range from 3 months to 2 years. Part of the exciting thing about this process is being completely open and allowing God to show me where I'm going.
The first option I found was called The World Race. And it's really awesome. You go to 11 countries in 11 months. I love the idea of travelling to 11 different places. It's awesome.
I'm trying to enjoy trusting God and relying on Him to provide me with answers, money, and resources. Because in the end, that's what it's all about.
