How then shall we live?

As a Christian, how should I be living my life? I have to ask myself this question sometimes. In the middle of this crazy, fast paced world that we are living in, I still want my answer to remain the same - my life should be lived for God and for others. This semester I will be studying in Rwanda and Uganda, and doing mission work with Food for the Hungry. These next few months I want to make a drastic change in my life by living not for myself, but for others. Through my studies and my interactions I hope to find a new and better understanding of what it means to be a child of God. I want to leave with no question in my mind that there is so much more to my life than my own happiness. I want to make my Creator proud, by loving his children.

5 days! That's only enough for one hand!

Everyone put out one hand and wave it! That's how many days I have till I leave! 5!! I cant believe it...still!

Today I need to get a notary to sign that I signed my study abroad contract. I also need to finish the first of the two books I have to read.
Our Pre-departure Books:

A River Between
Things Fall Apart
(so far so good)

Here's something cool that you might not know. I may be missing Messiah a little bit, but pretty much ALL of my best friends are studying abroad right now as well! I don't have to feel like I am missing anything because we are all off having amazing experiences and then we will all come back together again in the fall! In case you are interested, here is a list of my best buddies, where they are going, and a link to their blogs! (in no particular order, I love them all)
