The Todays and the Tomorrows

I'm kinda in a roadblock in life (what and I'm only 22. sigh). Trying to make some important decisions...fast. How do you really know what's the right path? I'm having all these really good ideas flood my brain every 5 seconds. There are so many opportunities that it's hard to know what is good and what is God. I feel like I stress out to easily on things like this. I feel the joy being sucked out of my life because I'm just so dang anxious about this impending future. It's hard to stay focused on TODAY because I'm being so worried about TOMORROW. I really don't know what do to. I'm pretty sure I'll just snap and lose it and run away to Cambodia and live with my brother forever (which actually doesn't sound 1/2 bad. One more idea to throw into the mix of the other 239 ideas I could do.)
Being home hasn't helped either. I know no one and so I've felt kinda isolated lately. whatever. I'm through with my pity party. God is good. He'll show the way in His time. He always does...I just wish he would hurry it up and tell a girl what to do. I'm excited for the next step. I'm excited because I know He'll end up telling me to do the very thing I haven't thought of. Who knows! Maybe I'll end up in....oh... Rwanda. We'll see.

Christmas in Philly

So here's a recap of my christmas vacation with Chris Schwartz:
-Went to Philly and had my first official Christmas with a real live family after 4 years of well... not having Christmas. It was wonderful
-Had an amazing time living it up in the city
-Watch Talladega Nights: the ballad of ricky bobby.
-Had a reunion with Jen Daldo, Darren Rice, and Brent and April. Got to be a tourist and ran the "Rocky" steps. It was simply the most amazing run of my life
-Sushi parties are a good thing to do most everyday.
-Rang in the new years throwing up...and no, its not what you think. Prolly an overdose of raw tuna.
-Met some pretty sweet east coast people
-Found out that I'm more of a west coast girl then I thought. Chris was so kind to point out my almost 'valley' girl talk.
-Philly Cheesesteaks from vendors are the best meal in the world
***So now I'm back in the Northwest. I drove to Oregon today to visit my dear life friend Cliff. Yep. Thats it for my life. I'm planning on heading to Kona this Feb for 3 weeks and then my life hits a stand still. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. If you think about it, pray for me. I need it!
Welp, thats about it for me! Madie
