Catching Up

I came to DC hoping to get into Lobbying for legislation that would support the eradication of human trafficking worldwide. While that is still a noble goal, I have learned that I am not at all cut out to be a lobbyist; God did not make me that way.

I know it's been a really long time since I last posted. At this point there is far to much to catch you all up on for the day to day happenings of my life. Better yet, the process I went through to come to the above conclusion is rather lengthy and intensive and has spanned the duration of this semester thus far. But, I can offer you a few ponderings of my heart, mind, and souls that have been spurred by this semester so far.

• The type of person that lives in this city likes to walk and carry their groceries all the way home from the grocery store that is half an hour away (or at least they put up with it).I like people, and listening to their stories, a whole lot more than I ever realized.
• Arguing and debating as means of persuading, at least in my opinion, often detract from any real opportunity to create change. Change happens through relationships.
  
• I will probably get into the change affecting field via a non-profit, NGO dealio.
• Purple is definitely my favorite color, followed very, very closely by a good jewel tone green.
  
• I don't have to know what I'm going to do after I graduate. In fact, it's probably better that way.
• Reality LA has made me a 'church snob'. No other church is as good as that one.
  
• Living in LA is really something I would like to do, but there are very few things I would like to do with my life (career, schooling, etc.) in LA after I graduate from APU.
  
• Grad school is an intimidating concept, but one that I will probably undertake at some point.

For just a little taste of some things I've been up to here...
