miles to go

It's true; I do. Lately, I've been bitten by the "travel bug", and I must admit, I fear the side effects are permanent.

They come in many shapes and sizes, but the most recent effects include the overwhelming desire to travel outside the good ole U.S. of A.

The thoughts that have been bouncing around this zany, curly head of mine are as follows:

- I could totally see myself being a travel journalist: going all sorts of places, interviewing people, and taking photographs--all while exploring and site seeing for myself.

[This was listed in the "things no one knows" about Drew Barrymore in this month's InStyle magazine-- I always knew Drew and I were kindred spirits]

-I would also love to go on a/multiple mission trip(s). Yes, I said it. My summer at WMU did actually rub off on me, and I've been thinking more and more about working with kids and showing them the love of Christ.

[scary, but it could be totally cool, right?]

[Always thought this would be the.most.fun.adventure.ever.]

[see...I'm not a total scared-y cat]

I have no clue where this passion for travel will lead me as of yet, but I'm excited to find out. Either way, I know that everything happens for a reason; so, whether I travel for missions opportunities or my own personal agenda, I know I will, God willing, eventually board a jet plane and take off toward my future.

'til then I leave you with this happy quote from Drew Barrymore in the same InStyle issue previously cited {further proof that we are kindred spirits}...
