A Dream Come True: Africa

Patience is tough but necessary. Patience has enabled me to be a part of something I could only dream of being a part. I'm going to Africa to be a part of a story that shows the transforming power of Christ and the amazing courage of one woman. Let me say this again ...I'm going to Africa!! Now this comes on the heels of some life goals that I've set for myself. This is a list of things I would like to accomplish in my life. I believe everyone should make a list of "life-goals" and seriously strive after them. Because I believe knowing what makes you come alive and what is your passion gives you purpose.

So here's my life goal list in no particular order:

1. Be an international photojournalist
2. Teaching and coaching high school soccer
3. Publish a book
4. Start a magazine
5. Open a coffee house
6. Have a family

There it is! Clearly, my list will ebb and flow and I hope to do each and every one. I know things will be add as I fine tune what my passions are throughout my life. But it's a list I like to keep in the back of my mind because it reminds me that life can be about more than one thing.

So patience is good and passion drives a person to understanding their purpose. That's what I've learned in the past few months since graduation. Hope you enjoyed processing through my life! And remember ..I'm going to Africa!
