racing pigs

Every year, I tell myself that I don't need to go to the fair. And every year, they put the racing pigs on the commercials, & with feigned reluctance, I plan a day at the fair.

I was offered a job in China working with kids. And even though it's not the best career move, I really, really want to go. For me, traveling is like racing pigs, but on such a bigger level. There is literally nothing I love more than getting off a plane in a foreign country & saying, "Alright, let's go." I love the feeling that everything is new & exciting. I love long flights & airplane food & figuring out new transportation systems.

And I wish I had some way to make a solid decision.

I have never been a girl who hears the voice of God in a Charlton Heston, Ten Commandments sort of way. More often than not, God has set roadblocks in my way to give me a "no" answer. If nothing interferes with what I want to do (go to college, go to Africa, change my major), than I take that as a "yes". I just wish I had a better system, one that makes me feel more at peace.

haha! Maybe I stole your decision making system, because I feel like that all the time. Speaking of decisions, we're at SDSU one more year. hurray! But I think there's an emphasis on ONE. So, this time next year, Ryan and will be praying about moving as well. I'll be praying about this china thing though.

Dude, I know!

I'm so jealous of people who get real directions and answers instead of what seems like just delayed feedback.

Can't wait to chat with you about all the fun possibilities though :)
