So, tonight is my first night back at home... it has been relaxing so far. I am sitting on my bed listening to the rain hit the ground. I love the summer air coming in through a window that can actually be opened (compared to the dorm rooms). Its good to be home. I was thinking as I packed up my room at school and at home tonight how it would be kind of fun to sell most of what I have. I am currently reading a book called Tales of a Female Nomad. I'm in love with it. Or atleast the idea. This women sells everything and the rest of her belongings fit in a backpack. She travels the world and meets amazing people...sees amazing things. She gets to see so much more of God and I don't think this lady even knows him. I think it would be wonderful to do this. To just travel and live by the moment. Swim in rivers with people who don't speak english, ride a moped with a complete stranger, drink a cup of coffee with a little old local Italian man. This seems to be the life. Full of adventure and freedom. Maybe after JBU I can do this... some how wait on paying those loans (see reality is making my dream not near as beautiful). In this book, the author says something pretty cool."Once I leave the U.S. I am not bound by the rules of my culture. And when I am a foreigner in another country, I am exempt from the local rules. This extraordinary situation means that there are no rules in my life."
Sure, there are rules that one needs to have in life. But part of me wants to think that once you love God, and then love others, all you need is that and the world God's given you to explore...
