Life As I Know It

Once again, it has been quite awhile since I blogged, but I find it rather therapeutic and quite entertaining when I actually sit down and do it. Life right now is great. We are out on summer break--for teachers summer is by far the best part of the year. My plans for summer include traveling, being random and spontaneous, traveling, oh yea... and TRAVELING! I absolutely LOVE to see new places and do new things, and I am taking full advantage of the opportunity I have this summer to do this. I just got back from Virginia, and absolutely LOVE it. I love the beach even though my fair skin thinks differently. I thought I applied sunscreen everywhere, but my current sunburn shows otherwise. While traveling and having much time to do things that I want to do, I have learned that I do not feel completely fulfilled. I have several things I want to do at this point in my life, and unfortunately, I am not fully set on one particular thing. Random thoughts of Katie include: * Keep my current teaching/coaching position, except it has been altered, so I will be teaching special education and coaching volleyball and basketball. * Move to El Paso and be in the same area as Jeff. I do not want to be in El Paso, but I DO want to be in the same area as Jeff at some point soon. The drawback here is that I do not know anyone to get connected into a school and find a job. * My most random idea is that I really want to go on a mission trip. The mission trip that I am looking at is called The World Race and is not just any mission trip, but is an 11 month long mission trip where I would travel every month to various countries serving people and showing Christ's love to others. This is currently my most desirable option, but it is also my most feared option. I am scared to death to do it, but I feel called to serve people and want to serve in any capacity that I can for the glory of God. So in a nutshell, no I still do not know what I want to do with my life. I may never completely know what I want to do with my life, but I truly believe that God leads us to where we should be. Ok this is my rant for the day. My goal is to blog a little everyday.... strictly for myself and my growth. Before I leave this I am going to add some pictures that show some of the people/places in my life right now. /s320/033.JPG" />
