The Plan?

Everyone else seems to have a plan, college, career, family. I don't. I have ideas of my passions, I have ideas about the type of job I want, but I just want to dabble in everything. I want to help as many people as possible and still be able to see my family on a weekly basis. I want to change the world and still see my brother and sister grow up. I want to be able to hug my Charlie and Lucy. I try and dream big, but what do I dream for? Is money the answer so I can just fly around the country and see Liz and Morgan once a week? I don't think money can be the answer but by golly it would sure help. How do I even begin to change the world? I would simply love to put a smile on every single persons face, I would love to break down peoples barriers. I would love to be able to encourage people to find who they are and love them for who they are. Maybe thats what I need to find why I love helping and encourage others to make the difference. Any ideas though?

I will go where you lead

I heard a song once, twice, about 30 times by Starfield and the line, " I will go Lord send me, to the world, to the lost, to the broke, and hungry, take everything I am, I pray within your hands, I will go send me." Has become my "theme song." I truly just want to go where the Lord sends me, to the people he wants me to touch, to the lives he wants me to be a part of. Where could he be leading me though?

Southern comfort

I am writting this evening in one of my favorite places... Biloxi, Mississippi. A place where I spent a year finding who I am, volunteering and shaping my passions and dreams. Its amazing to me that so many emotions can be flooding my heart at the same time. There are feeling of excitment for the opportunity at hand, being able to fulfill one of my biggest passions which is building down here, and being able to see my second family and some of my closest friends. However I am nervous to build and to be back in a place I call home. How do I move on from this place? I left here so sad, saying goodbye to amazing friends, and not really knowing where I was headed next. So this trip I hope to leave being able to look back and be happy about leaving and be able to accomplish so much more out of life.

The begining

There is some sort of a release of just writting, as I am sure we all know. One where you can simply let every emotion onto the page, where you can let everything you are feeling out. I have found that I somehow feel lost at the moment. I feel as though there is this huge world ahead of me. One where I can accomplish anything I want. Yet, I have no idea where to begin. I am so passionate about so many things how do I stop and narrow it down to one field, one job? I feel this sense of urgency to accomplish everything. To save the world. I just have no idea how to start. You know AmeriCorps was amazing. It opened so many doors and yet sometimes I feel like I cannot ever top that expierence. Where to start? Where to start?
