Ready Are You?

As quoted by a wise 900 year old being...

“Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless.”

At this time tomorrow, I will be eating at Fat Wong's with my parents and then heading to SFO to go on a journey which I'm guessing will be eye-opening and possibly life changing(?). I've had my suitcase out the entire week, but haven't really gotten myself to pack the essentials that I need. What to expect? That I do not know. A friend told me to just remember the 3F's while on the missions field - fun, flexible, and focus.

I'm finally excited about Thailand... the thought of being overwhelmed and scared have slowly gone away. It's reassuring to know that I have my supporters here who are praying for me, since I have just recently grasped the fact that prayer does go a long way. So, in two weeks, we'll see if there are any new stories to tell! Weeee!

Guilty Pleasures

I have recently discovered some guilty pleasures in my life: morning, afternoon, and night.

Morning - You know how they say that you usually have a total body makeover after a break up? I'm definitely feeling it right now. Before, I could barely get myself to run a mile, much less two in a week. Nowadays, I get up and run at least three miles every single day... and it just feels so good! I think I ran more the past two weeks than I have the entire month when I was not single.

Afternoon - I go to the bookstore and just start reading. It's hot at home, there's a/c at Borders, so why not? It's like a library... but better! I've always wanted to get into more Christian literature as well as stuff about the economy and business.

Night - SATC! Enough said... every single episode so far has reminded me of something that happened in a past relationship, as well as wishful thinking for the future (whenever that may be).
