New Goal?

I have been hearing a lot about people going on mission trips, leaving their comfort zones, and making a difference in the world.  It has got me thinking about something.  At the moment, I am out of my comfort zone.  I am on the other side of the world. Yet, am I making a differnce? 


This is something that has really been on my mind lately.  I want to do some research on small mission trips and see what comes up.  Maybe take some leave and go to a deprived area of the world and help in anyway I can.  A friend asked me last night if I could go 24 hours without technology.  I explained that when I was a kid I would go camping over weekends and sometimes for a week at a time.  I was then asked if I could go 6 weeks...  I really don't know if I could.  Thinking on that, I realized how tech based my life is.  I enjoy tv, video games, and movies just like the next young adult but does my life really need to revolve around it?  Why am I not out making music instead of listening to it?  Why am I not learning how cook instead of teaching my video game character how to cook? 


I was watching the movie Lord of the Rings yesterday.  What a great movie but its an even better book.  I think it is time to pick up a book and let my imagination take over.  This is my new goal in life.  To do active things that I will remember for years to come.
