plans

waiting for tomorrow is a waste of today

so i read that quote from my bathroom reader while sitting on the john. i find that many realizations about life tend to come while in the washroom. truly, such a place of solace; a fortress of solitude.

not so much a realization i suppose, as much as a motivation.

it's starting to appear that i indeed will be going to asia right after school ends, and i officially begin the rest of my life.

between ivan, brian, and myself, i think we all have our own reasons for wanting to go on this trip. fun, reflection, excitment, experience, learning, shopping. the reasons are actually more than i can count. but i think personally, one bigh thing is i want to really see the world, and learn to experience god not just in the comfort of north america, but through his presence world wide. to drink in all his creation, and get an idea of how he is moving and working, particularly in poorer nations.

there's so much i want to learn. so much. to grow, to change, to be formed.

it's exciting, challenging, encouraging and daunting all at once.
