hi adventure.

So here I am, typing away in my new home. It's so fun having our very own place... I mean, I have an art room... HELLO! And some stability in having a home-base is really nice. Funny thing, even though we've just bought our first home and I should be really appreciating it right now, I've felt more able to focus on the adventures we'll have all over the world in our lifetime. Perhaps having this 'base' has made me stop thinking about needing a home and opened my eyes to the other things I'm looking forward to in life. I know that God can do adventures even when you have a mortgage, but there's just something in these new 'grown up' circumstances that makes me determined not to settle in for good. Nope. I want to see the world! I want to pray for a dead person to become alive again, and see God do it firsthand. I want to make albums, create dance shows, start a retreat center, experience opposite cultures to my own, tell people about God's love and see them transformed, be in the center of a revival, change the world that's around me, live on a beach in Hawaii (I know, it almost doesn't go with the others, but hey- it's still a dream of mine!).... and have kids... and climb lots and lots of trees, and swim in warm water, and bury my legs in the sand, and look through a microscope at tiny things, and be in wonder of life and the people around me.

Wow. I just tired myself out listing all that stuff. Goodnight.
