I missed the road so much I'm going back this summer.

Well, Kinda...this time it's for fun.

While I was on tour my friend Maricela proposed the idea of going on a road trip this summer. Of course I wanted to go, I mean, who wouldn’t? When I got back California we had further talked about it. As we talked about it I realized that I didn’t have the money to 1. Take time off of work and 2. Pay for gas and housing. It was a huge blessing to hear that she was willing to pay for everything and I am just providing my car. So she said when and where, and I said I’m there! Our destination will be Vancouver, Canada and will be passing through Oregon to pick up a friend on the way and Seattle. It’s going to be about 4,000 miles of driving in a weeks time period but I am up for the challenge.

Just a few days ago my friend Meleca and I were catching up. ( Side note….she is one of my favorite people who I absolutely adore). While we were conversing we were discussing her move out to Indiana, where she will be attending grad school. I had asked her if she was driving or flying out there. To my surprise she said that she is driving out there alone. Yes, alone! Therefore I will be making that drive out there and will be flying back. I am looking forward to doing this drive with one of my best friends, seeing a whole new trail of states, and making good conversations along the way.

This means by the end of all of this I will have been to/traveled through 24 of the 50 states. Whoa!

Old Blog

This is an old blog I wrote Sept. of last year. I was looking back at my old entries and came across this one. Interesting hu...?

lets travel

I seem to always get these ideas in my head to try to make an impact on the world in some kind of positive way. I feel like the more and more time goes on I still find my self in the same place and that would be fullerton ca. For a while I thought that I would stay in california. However as I talk to more and more people we are trying to figure some where else to be. I was convinced at one point that I was going to be moving to oregon..but i dont know about that one. My goal for next summer is to do some kind of missional work or travel throughout the us. Another thought is going to Indonesia for a few weeks to a month with a few friends.When I am remembered on this earth I don't want to be the girl that grew up in fullerton, went to church here, got married, had kids and is STILL here. I want accomplishments and Im not talking about financial ones. I want to be remembered as someone who LOVED the Lord and LOVED His people and made an impact on lives around me. It breaks my heart when people simply just dont have love in their lives. I want to be someone that could show that. Perhaps I dont need to get away to do that but for sure I am/going to be thinking about where I am to be lead this next year.

I apologize for my scattered thoughts but I honestly just dont get much time to write in here so when I do I know this prob. does not make much sense to people but thats okay. :) haha.

have a good one.
