NOT QUITE FINISHED

Oh, hi there.

I decided we're not quite finished here yet.

I started this blog because I was going on a Hungarian adventure--there was so much to do! to see! to learn! I didn't want to let any of it slink away...I wanted to keep all the smells and rumblings and foreign words and good things and true things and ugly things. I wanted to be true to the people we met, to the places we traveled, to God, and to all of you. I wanted somebody to know how I was growing and changing over there. (Secretly, I also just wanted a place to play around with words.)

Guess what.

Even though I'm not currently world-trekking, I'm still doing that whole living-learning-changing-exploring thing. Because I sort of see life as this great, continuous exploration. That might sound a bit cheesy, childish, or maybe just idealistic--but I figure that God is just brimming over with surprises, and, as long as I'm chilling with him, there's bound to be plenty of adventure involved.

So here we are again!

Learn with me.

Share with me as I share with you.

As always, I promise to be thoughtful, to be honest, and mostly, to live deliberately.

Here goes.
