So life begins... I mean the first 20 some odd years are really just a learning phase in life. Now with my degree in hand, supposedly I've acquired a 'higher' education and have learned a sufficient amount of knowledge to make it on my own. And even though school may be out for my peers and me, it seems that humans never stop learning. But now its time to start applying what we've learned; and if there's one thing I've learned it's that life is too short to deny myself the pleasure of discovering the many different cultures, languages, and landscape that this world has to offer. So why settle down and deny my passion of adventure...
Yes, you can make life work just about anywhere. If I so desired to stay within my comfort zone among my family and friends, I could. But since life doesn't always go to plan, we must take the doors that are open to us even if it's uncomfortable. Therefore I'm off to Kunming, China for a life adventure as many of you now know.
I’ve decided that human beings without question have free will within the confines of God’s great, mysterious ways. I’ve prayed for some decision to magically pop up in front of my face that I could easily grab. But God has provided too many options for me with very little guidance.
That’s where the Leap of Faith comes in…
No matter what we do in life (as long as we give it our best efforts), God will always be there to support us. I have no clue what my living situation will be like or what I will do to earn an income; but I know that if I take the leap, God will catch me.
So I’m off… I don’t know when I’ll be back but trust me friends when I say that God is with us each and every day whether we sense Him or not. If you are afraid of making a big life decision right now... follow your heart, relax, put your faith in God, and take a Leap of Faith!
