settling in

Tonight is my first night in my new "home". I put it in quotes because it is the place I spend most of my week, but my home is still where my grandmother and little sister are right now. In time, that may change. Who knows?

Its a small room. It's comfortable. I have a bed and closet to myself. A bathroom as well- that's about it. I've had less, I'm not complaining. Just explaining where I live. I can't really make it my own seeing as how it is my host family's computer room as well. No matter, its still pretty, i just didn't decorate it.

I got a phone call tonight from an old friend that I haven't talked to in ages. Weird. I don't expect to talk to hime much. Thats the way our friendship is. We talk non-stop for a little while then completely stop talking for 2 months - a year. Love the kid, that's just the way it is. I thought I was in love with him at one point. Then I realized that you have to talk to someone pretty regularly to form a lasting love and gave up my silly little belief in that area. No biggie- I have Dy now. Thank God I didn't persue something with the other guy.

So I was thinking today, wondering how I could do missions and travel. Then I realized that I could take young adult (20-35 year olds) on short term missions trips all over the world. Something maybe 2 weeks long so they know whether or not they want to look into full time missions. I could also direct them in the places God tells me. I now have connections with both YWAM and CLC. A team member needs healing, but doesn't definately want to go into missions- I direct them to YWAM. A team member wants to do a longer short term mission- I send them to YWAM or take them myself with another team. A team member definately wants to do missions for the rest of their lives- I send them to CLC. I mean there's other programs that I could direct them to as well, but #1) I don't have first-hand experiance with them and #2) I don't have contacts with them as of yet. But this is something that I could consider doing. I've always seen myself as eventually starting something, organization or the like, not necessarily joining in on something that has already been started, though that may be a possibility for a little while.

That's really all that's on my mind for the time being. I may think of something a little later... maybe not. Actually- not is more likely, since I'm going to be heading to bed in about 20 minutes.
So goodnight and God bless.
