Dreams and Adventures

My life has recently been turned around completely...

I left a school I had been at for 5 years.

I sold a truck I had had for 7.

I moved out of a house I had been in for 3.

AND broke off a relationship that I had had for 2.5 years. 

All this in a week in May.

I am now at a really unique place in life, a real live blank slate. I have no place to live, no job, and a little money in the bank to get me wherever God takes me.

I could go to Germany and see so many of my friends and speak German, or live in Norman with my friends, or Konawa with my family, or go to San Diego (my very favorite city), or to Huntington Beach...

But you know where I feel God leading... Riverside, California. 

Two words: Smog, Desert. 

I am in the process of getting counsel right now.

All of this is showing me that I am not in the center of my world... God has way bigger plans than I could ever dream of for myself. He is so faithful to keep pushing me past little rest stops I choose to take in my life, to this big, wonderful world of adventure that I get to be a part of!!!!

One of my very deepest dreams and desires is to be a missionary in Africa. 

I fell in love with Africa in 6th grade when studying a mountain gorillas and reading biographies of Diane Fossey. I love how wild and vast Africa is. It is beautiful. The PEOPLE are so beautiful.

Who knows, maybe moving to Riverside is the next step to that dream or maybe God has something totally different in mind. All I do know is that it will be a total adventure!!
