Back in the Midwest!


Well i am in Charleston, Illinois right now visiting family for the holidays. It's kind of nice to get away from georgia for a while. It's not that i don't like Georgia, but i sometimes get confused about where my home is exactly (considering i have never lived somewhere longer than 2-3 years). At the same time, i wouldn't want it any other way. I've heard stories of some people who live in the same place, in the same house, in the same bedroom for their whole lives. I could never ever ever ever do that.

I want to travel the world. i know almost every student who's excited about "getting out on their own" says something along those lines, but most of the time they end up going to college with their friends from high school not too far from their parents house.
I keep promising myself i will never hold back from something because i am afraid or uncomfortable. It happens to too many people and they always regret not doing whatever it is they wanted to do.

I've started by signing up to go to Peru on a mission trip. And hopefully before too long i will be living in Sydney, Australia going to school at Hillsong college to be a worship leader/minister of some sort.

im excited to what God has in store for the rest of my life and i pray i will never hold back.

Did you ever finish Do hard things? I heard it is dumb. Like the whole book could be describe in three words. Do hard things. I don't know that is just what I have heard. What do you think? And how was Illinois?

do hard thing was very helpful. not the most well written book, but i think you would like it. the last 100 pages could be skimmed through.
who told you it was dumb?

Marc said...

Adam, and he really didn't say it was dumb, just the whole bit about how it could be summed up by just reading the title. I don't know I might have to read it. I need to get my hands on another Barna book. You know what I'm saying playa?
