I live in the cornfields now.

The more I live in Indiana, the more I realized that I am a city person. I guess being surrounded by cornfields and limit access to diverse populations can reveal that to a person. I guess I can say that I am blessed that Starbucks is only a ten minute drive from my home.

The funny thing is that if you asked me over a year ago if I would see myself in Indiana...I would say "Hell no." The other funny thing is that I am now here. The third funny thing is that I am glad that I am here. The fourth funny thing is that I don't know where I'm going after this but I guess it will be somewhere unexpected.

Throughout my whole life God has moved me from California, to New Hampshire, to Texas and now to Indiana. It's been crazy. It's also kind of hard when people ask me where I'm from. I never know how to answer that question.

I hope that wherever God leads me to next will be another place of growth and experience. Life is worth to be lived out. Life is worth all the risks. Life takes us to places that we can never imagine. Life is just too short for us to stay sad. Life gives us lemons so we can make sweet lemonade to satisfy our thrist. Life is good.

This week the Residence life is doing a program on sexuality and how Christianity adn the church views it. It's called "Sex and the Cornfields" since we don't live in the city. I just thought I would throw that out there.
