India Bound

I can never quite remember what I type into here.

We fly out for India July 16th. No return tickets, estimated 1 year abroad. Awesome.

Tiffany has planned pretty much the entire first month and a half. I did some, but she really deserves all the credit. We will then serve in Pune with a church we found through our current church Sanctuary Columbus Church.

Keeping a blog at: ReroutedJourney.com

Currently I am sitting in Caribou Coffee, Where Tiffany works. She was supposed to work a 3 hour shift today and I was going to join and just do some work until she got off. She got a call this morning and said yes to coming in around 9. I came anyway and have been sitting here since 9:30am. It has been nice to have such focus for an extended time in a different environment though.

I really hope this traveling thing can continue past 1 year though. I am looking at Thailand next. Ultimately thought it is wherever God leads us.

It really is encouraging to see what life can be if you are not tied down to a job and a house. So many possibilities. And of course with God, anything is possible.

Blissfully on the Edge; Eager to Jump.

Let me tell you something. God is crazy. He certainly works in ways you would not imagine, and often when you are not expecting.


Yes Internets, I have met a girl.

Her name is Tiffany. She is the most amazing girl I have ever met. I can honestly and truly say that.

I visited her at IWU this weekend, and had one of the best weekends ever. We went to the park for while.. and she lost her keys. We looked everywhere for awhile, but eventually someone came to get us. She was embarrassed, but it was funny, and made it more memorable haha!

We also went to Indianapolis Saturday night, saw her friend, got lost, had a intense conversation, walked around, neglected to pay for parking, came back, got tacos and had an over all amazing time.

I am incredibly excited about what the future holds. You have no idea!


God please bless this relationship. Help us to draw closer to you, and to glorify you through all we do. Amen.

?what now

Everyone is gone for college... trying to find new people to hang out with. I can still have fun with new people, but as many people who are at college tell me, it's just not the same. Can it ever be?

I guess not, which is kind of depressing, but that part of life I guess. At lease I can rest in the fact that most of my closest friends will be in Heaven with me. What a day that will be!

I have a strong desire for my art to be known, for myself to be known. While I'm sure this is quite normal, it is also stray from what my strongest desire should be, to make Jesus known more than anything. I can do that through my art and if I do become famous (fat chance I know), but sometimes it is easy to let my desires get in the way.

Here is some stuff I've done lately:

I love people, they are beautiful, God knew what he was doing, in everything. Relationships, how people function, react. I love it, I love life. I am so happy to know that no matter what I am always accepted and forgiven by him.

I'm really glad I can live for him and not be terrified for my life. What respect I have for those who fear for their lives and yet live out their lives for him every chance they get!

I want to travel Europe by myself for awhile, with a camera. I know I can't afford it, but I some how could, it would be amazing.
