Well I've finally decided to start this blog, seeing that I've been procrastinating doing everything else. Let's see...where to begin...
Training for China begins in one week and two days from now - September 1st. In all honesty I am not prepared for this - but I want to be so badly. I know when the time is right my heart and mind will be just a little bit more focused on...well, what needs to be focused on. Now that I have a little time for myself, I realize that this next year could be - and should be - a life changing, turning point for myself. You know...the movers and shakers kind of deal...
I was told once by a close friend that I am not destined for fame or spotlight - I was shaken by this fact, because like plenty of others out there, I craved the satisfaction, admiration and awe from those around me. My friend told me this simple truth about my life: That I was destined to be a pioneer. No spotlights, no fame, no glory. I've learned to accept that fact, and I guess that is why teaching (for now, at least) is my destiny. A pioneer will go to places that have yet to be unsettled, untamed, untouched...and build. I have accepted that I am a pioneer. I will go, where I have been sent, and I will build, and I will touch lives, and I will bring hope, love and joy.
I am amazed and thankful at all the support I have for this future endeavor of mine. Please keep me in your thoughts, and remember me.
