purpose to melody

Back from Mexico. For the second time. And this time I want to go back. And I think I will be back. I didn't pay attention to the teaching and messages the first time around. This time I did, and it's not like it was anything I hadn't heard before, but it all made a lot more sense with all the other things that have been going on since December. Quite weird actually, all the things that have been happening since December. Didn't think that this trip would work out the way we hoped it would, but I guess it was really good. People had fun, didn't complain, and we did something good, and didn't just throw all our money at things we would wear once. More purposeful I guess.
So if things work out, I'll be back in Mexico in September and coming home in August of 2011. I just want to get away from things. Don't want to go to school right away and 'waste' another section of my life reading books and competing with people who actually care about what they're studying. I'll still go, but I don't want to go right away. In Mexico, I'll be learning a lot about myself, and about God'w work around the world, and being able to show that to other young people from around North America. And I know I'll have a better idea of what I want to study. If I do go, I think it will be hard to tear myself away from stuff. Like my family and friends, and karate and my job. Friends I think is going to be a big one. And then back to school the next fall. I applied for criminology because I wanted to be a cop. I don't care about that anymore. But I guess that's a good thing, because I don't want to do something for myself, but something "for a purpose greater than myself". I just don't care anymore. I guess we'll see what's in store for me. Something I have to remember is that it's not what God's will is for me, but what is God's will, and how do I make my life fit into that?

So back into normal life now, back into the routine again. This weekend is family studies sleepover, the weekend after is New York trip, and then the next week is Formal. What a month. And then school is pretty much over.

And off I go to Halifax. I got my contract, praise God, and I'll be there for a little while. Still got to go in and get my flight and travel docs, but this will be exciting, first flight and far off trip with the military. I wonder if I can be bumped up the line at the airport.

Goodbye high school(almost).
