We have lots of patchouli-and-hemp-wearing unshaven-underam types here who need saving... ;-)<br><br>Seriously...wow. That's a big thing to consider. Are you thinking like Melbourne, or, like, Bolivia? <br><br>Lessee, I'm 38, not responsibility free, but can see the perspective about age and maybe wanting to do something a bit less selfless than I typically do...if it were me it would have something to do with babies, orphans maybe, who just need love. I can rock babies forever.<br><br>But you, you have your own inner dynamics...so tell me, what does SUE want to do? Hypothetically speaking, of course.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01067954787472463337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-39257270800853259602009-01-07T15:37:00.000+11:002009-01-07T15:37:00.000+11:00LOL a mission trip to Oregon sounds good :)Melbour...LOL a mission trip to Oregon sounds good :)<br><br>Melbourne or Bolivia? Well, my first thought was South Africa, actually. I remember a woman left a comment on my blog a while ago about needing people to help out in her orphanage. I, too, can rock babies forever :)<br><br>But *sigh* I don't know. You know what I'd like? A strong sense of direction. A sense that God is saying, "Yes, go this way." I know how that feels. I know it's not a pipe dream. But is it happening lately? Nay. I am like a vocal horse rolling around in a giant field. I just got no clue :(Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01122659239039900398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-18310313358242594202009-01-07T16:35:00.000+11:002009-01-07T16:35:00.000+11:00I meant Melbourne and Bolivia as opposite extreme....I meant Melbourne and Bolivia as opposite extreme...your own backyard or far, far away, where Shrek lives? <br><br>I <i>really</i> hate to do this to you, but I'm listening to an 80's station and just as I read this comment, it began.

I go in and out of that periodically and it's a crappy feeling to be in it, but it also tends to get me off my butt like nothing else. Maybe it's God's way of getting my attention? Lord knows not much else works! <br><br>Anyway, I think the remedy to your situation is those chicken fajitas and cocktails. That always works for my chakras and planets. :-DHeatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09032691538301396112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-62354596276422307512009-01-08T11:45:00.000+11:002009-01-08T11:45:00.000+11:00Heather - how does 7pm sound? I think that sounds...Heather - how does 7pm sound? I think that sounds like a fine remedy ;) <br><br>I guess I'm thinking in terms of those words in Jeremiah, which I really love: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope."<br><br>And there's another verse that I can't think of that talks about things he's prepared for us to do. I want to do something God has prepared for me to do, you know? And I know that sometimes that means really small things in the middle of your otherwise boring day. I don't feel the need to do something "big for God" to stroke my ego. I just want to do ... something.Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01122659239039900398noreply@blogger.com
