Spain or bust!
So, I am crazy this time :) ...
I have been learning Spanish furiously for the past few days. It's been on my mind for a couple of months but crazy schedules, a 24/7 job, 26 resident assistants (whom I love and already miss so dearly), and my own procratination has changed that. Outside of right now, I have been listening to the 8 Spanish CDs (thanks for letting me steal them, Dad) that I downloaded on my ipod and claim to teach me Spanish instantly. I wish I could retain absolutely every carefully articulated word, but I'm not there just yet - I still cleaningnout the cobbwebbs of Spanish classes years ago, with a spattering of Bahasah Melayu and Tamil.
Why Spanish?
Well, I'm waiting for my flight to board for Spain (via Frankfort). I don't take normal work "vacation days." I wait for only God-sized notions like..."how about going to Spain to learn SPanish for a month and get to know University students to show them and tell them about Christ?" Oh yeah, and "how about quitting your job to do it :) ?" I love God - I really do! He is way more creative than I could ever be and I'm way to adventurous and prideful not to hol Him to a challenge. I needed a break from normal and God and I needed to see each other in a different light than what we had been walking through. I want to show others what Jesus is all about and how amazing a relationship with him really is. It isn't something found within a church or at a "Christian school" or with judges instead of believers and songs without worship. I want to speak to be able to tell peeople that but they will (hopefully) see more through my actions than my words anyway. No rules, no quota, no hours, just me and God.
