I'll rekindle and resurrect the blog with an update on my living situation. As you may know, I migrated off of Lookout Mountain, GA to Chattanooga, TN. While going through the moving process I realized that I've moved around more than usual during the last two years. I thought it might be interesting to Google search all of the places I've stayed or lived during my lifetime. Only the paces that have had the greatest impact on my life and story are spotlighted.

Born and Raised.

From private to public school. From city to Suburb.

Experimental first two years and experimental last two years. I remember the last two much better than the first two. I learned most from mistakes I made outside the classroom.

My first big adventure. I learned how hard it must be to be a foreigner of an unfamiliar culture. I left determined to be a host of those unfamiliar to my culture.

Visited twice on my 2nd and 3rd big adventures. Hated it Paris the first time, loved it the 2nd. I learned how to enjoy life from the Europeans. It's easy to forget — must need to travel back soon?

Lived with with the happiest people I've met who are also the poorest people I've met. I learned from the poor how to give.

I learned the importance of a relationship. I lived, for the first time, outside of Pittsburgh, not knowing when I will return.

A bus ticket, no money, no cell phone, no place to stay. I learned from this trip how to rely on god for provision.

I learned how to pray.

I learned how divided we are on this earth. Even within the comfort of our own religion.

I learned how serve.

What will I learn here? I guess I'll find out. When I do I will share.
I've committed to live in Chattanooga until August of 2009. That will conclude a year in the Chattanooga region. I have many thoughts for the future, including moving back home to Pittsburgh. I don't know what tomorrow will look like, let alone August? I will keep in touch through the journey.
