Where am I going to be in a year's time? Not even that far ahead; where will I be in six months time? I'm finally to the point where I don't worry about it anymore. Why should I? I've strayed from the straight and narrow over the past couple of years, but who hasn't? It's not like some big huge falling away thing; I just stumble and fall like everybody else. Although, whilst I was going through it all without any clear direction, that made it very hard. Now it's different. I feel like I have a direction to go in now.
So, for once, instead of just being abstract and obnoxiously thoughtful on everything, it's time for something concrete. I'm going to the Dominican Republic in February for a week to work on a hospital and to teach people about Jesus. I'm not sure of the exact details, but I do know that we'll be working with people who need help, hope, and love. To have this door opened after feeling like I'm just existing for so long is AMAZING. Like, FREAKING AMAZING. Yeah. I can't express how great it is. The band for camp is going well too, we have our first "gig" on Thursday night and we're all super excited. As for next year, after college...seminary? I hope so. Not to be like a senior pastor, but world missions or youth ministry is where I feel I'm being lead. I really wish I'd listened to God four years ago when the time came to make a decision about college. Oh well. He's given back the years I fought for myself, plus I know the best is yet to come. He's got a plan and it's glorious, marvelous, beautiful, wonderful, and many other adjectives that denote positive in a wonderfully copious manner.
