Florida days are absolutely beautiful. One cannot find another word to truly do it justice. Then, you see a Florida sunset. The sky slowly turns from orange to a purple and all of the worries of the world slip away. It's God's way of saying that everything will be okay and that He has an amazing adventure out there just for you. That adventure may not be made of perfect days like today with a gentle sunset, but rather a stormy sky filled with lightening may be in the near future. All in all, we must be soothed by the notion that it is His wonderful plan and adventure that leads us down a the ultimate path. As Peter Pan says, "To live would be an awfully big adventure,".
Awhile back, I submitted my application to Red Cloud Indian School out in South Dakota after much praying. Last week, I heard back from the recruiter who processes the apps before the interview with the principal. My parents aren't thrilled with the idea of it being a volunteer program since I'll be way in debt after graduation. I can't remember the last time I was this excited and determined about something though. Doesn't He want for us to live a life of simplicity and to use what talents He gave us to help one another? Doesn't God want us to share faith with our neighbors and to make a difference by making the world a better place to live in? Even though most people don't understand, this is the life I want to lead. I don't want a 25,000 dollar teaching job in my hometown. Yes, I could make a difference there but that's not where my true calling is at this point. God is calling me, no, not just calling--rather, He is pushing me out to the Lakota at Pine Ridge. Who would I be to deny such a push? This is the start of a brand new adventure.
