In the last year, I have changed so much, learned who Jesus was, and fell in love with him. My faith has increased, along with a greater understanding of truth, hope, and love. I keep making my ideals higher and higher...and I am finally doing something about it.
I am about to fill out an application to spend my next summer in the Amazon jungle in Peru. My days are filled with learning about other countries, and trying to make other people understand what I have been learning. The American dream is no longer my dream...at all. In fact it disgusts me. The life I am living is filled with a purpose, and it isn't my own purpose. (and it feels so good :))
Usually about this time in the summer, I am dreading school beginning, but not this year. I don't really care if I have friends at school, or about the stress of classes, or even if I fail my classes. I want this school year to not be focused on me at all, and I have SO MANY IDEAS just floating around in my head...I don't want to wait to take ACTION!
But that is a month away...and I can wait. The weird thing is...I am excited about NOW also!
Is not that awesome?!? NOW! There never has been, and never will be right now again. and I am wasting now on this silly blog. ha.

Wow...I'm jealous?
You are now the third person who is applying to go somewhere next summer. I kind of want to as well, but I am not thinking that next summer is my time. But even if it is - all the applications are due in like March - I still have time to realize it.
I am thinking about considering an FYM (9 month trip) for Fall of 2009.
Props for not caring about the lesser things.
