Adventure

While most everyone is either enjoying spring break at this moment or looking forward to it in the coming weeks, students at my university are back on campus and buckling down for the last two months of school. That's right, our spring break is over. I had a great one, for sure, but I still wish it could have lasted longer.

What did you do on spring break? The most asked question on campus this week will get one of these obligatory responses.

Yes, spring break was awesome. I...

a) Stayed home and worked, but I needed the money

b) Went to _____ and it was so cool.

c) Partied and go totally wasted and it was sweet!!!!!

d) Stayed at home and slept a lot....yup.

e) Some combination of the above

These responses represent about 85% of what I have heard since getting back to campus.

So what did I do on my spring break? I went to Mexico. On a missions trip. And it was a blast.

Really, it was more fun than any vacation I've ever been on, and I have been on quite a few trips. What was so cool about this trip? Well...that would be kinda hard to explain on here in this short time period that I have right now, but maybe some day.

What this trip did do was ignite a fire inside of me. Before this trip it was definitely there, like a pilot light or spark. I don't know what has caused it, but I just want to go and explore. Anywhere. It doesn't even really matter why either.

I have found myself looking at Google Earth and figuring out driving distances to places like Vancouver, North Dakota, Montana, Florida, and everywhere else that I want to go at that particular moment.

Of course I have neither the time or money for adventures like this right now. I am lucky to make ends meet, as it were, and can't afford a cross country trek any time soon...

But someday I may have that ability. I hope that when that day comes I haven't lost this desire. I don't want to look back in 20 years and say "I wish I could have done x, y, and z....now I never will". If an opportunity arises, I want to be able to take it! Let's go somewhere!!

God did a pretty awesome job creating the earth, and I want to see more of it. Maybe not now...but someday....
