What might 2011 look like?

The year 2011 is underway already and we are into the third week.

So you might be wondering what does Christina have up her sleeve for this year. Well the answer to this question is kind of still up in the air for me, but my mind is reeling and heading in some solid directions.

Come April I will finally walk across the stage to recieve my diploma that will be handed to me after 5 long years of hard work. I will have a hood placed over my head and have a long titled degree to add to my resume. I do look forward to this day and hope to celebrate with many people. The people who have encouraged me and spurred me on throughout this entire journey. I would not have been able to stay focussed or determined without you and likely would have given up every term if it was not for the support of everyone of these people. It was hard and a great challenge. Especially after tackling this after a 7 year schooling gap.

The summer I would like to take a little trip to say ahhh and just enjoy a little freedom and fun without having to think about work, school or whatever else reminds me of the boring everyday. I think that this is something that would be well deserved? No?

While I am working through this final term of school and into the summer I will be preparing my heart and mind for the next task that I have spent a lot of time thinking about. I have been praying about this as well and it seems like a logical step. So I am probably going to be going overseas for a year or two to teach English and pay off my student loans. The way I see this is that I am not getting any younger and I am itching to go serve my God in missions. So this is the fastest way to do so as well as get more cross cultural experience. So now I know the question rolling around in your mind is likely: Where? Well I do not know the answer to this as of yet. I am researching it and trying to figure out the best place for myself and one that pays decently as well. This is no small feat as you are already aware the world is a big place. This will take time and I just ask you to be praying about and ask me once in a while how this is coming a long. I think that this will help me to regain an awareness of how close that time is coming.

I have some other small ideas as to things that will hopefully change throughout the year, but we'll cross those bridges when I want to haha. More like as they come along.

Many blessings to you this year as you face 2011.
