question marks! or rather, ?

okay. so. here's the earth. oh, that's a nice earth.
it certainly is! but where the heck do i fit in??

this question i am sure, plagues many of us. now that i have (almost) finished my degree, and i am fairly done with schooling at the moment (this may not be by choice but....hey), ive had to battle this question. and my decision? well, i'm going to Nigeria. crazy!!!! i can't tell you how relieved i am to be able to finally say with confidence where i am headed this year as it has been quite the trip to this point. regardless, i am going. at the beginning of november (this hasn't been set in stone but that is the plan in my head - lets see if it happens! bets anyone?).

so here i sit, at the edge of an actual adventure where things are so up in the air, its unnerving. i'm a planner. not necessarily for little things (i enjoy spontaneity) but with big life things - i'm a planner through and through. so here we go, God! its all up to you. i will go where you send me.

so my plan is to document this journey quite well (i kind of stink at writing on a frequent basis) but i can't not document this. so bear (or bare, your choice) with me while i write/picture my way through this experience. i apologize for anything that i say that seems....uh, uncultured or naive. i'm learning at this "expanding my worldview" thing, k?

stay posted for:
 - actual details about what i am doing in Nigeria
 - a hopefully succinct history of the city of Jos and its people
 - ways that you can help me get to Nigeria! (oh, there is def. ways to do this - don't you worry!)

be blessed.
