Because I'm so interesting...

If your Memorial Day weekend was as great as mine, then you're probably not too excited about being back at work today either.
This morning I've:
Checked my e-mail on 3 different accounts.
Read 76 blog postings on Google Reader.
Read about the interesting lives of all of my friends on Facebook, and...now I'm posting on this blog.
Maybe by noon I'll be ready to do some work.

Anyway, here are the answers to my questions...

1. When do you feel most alive? Why?
If you've talked to me for more than 2 minutes I've probably mentioned East Asia in our conversation. My heart is there and my time spent there was probably the best time of my entire life. Living in East Asia changed me like nothing else I've ever experienced. There is just something special about learning to trust God for big things when you feel so small in a place with 1.3 billion people. Everything about East Asia makes me feel alive. I love the people, the food, the places, the experiences...yeah, pretty much everything.

2. If they made a movie of your life who would you want to play you? Why?
Hmm...thats a hard one. I'm a big fan of both Julia Roberts and Reese Witherspoon. I like that they're both super southern, funny, charming, and yet down to earth. But if they're making a movie of my life...then I'd probably take pretty much whoever is available.

3. What is the greatest song ever written? By Who?
I LOVE music. I wish that I had been taught everything in school set to music. I would have remembered alot more. That being said, I can't think of one greatest song. Songs to me have so many memories. I associate them with good times, bad times, friends, events, and experiences. I am a big fan of hymns and can sing you at least the chorus of almost any song in the Baptist Hymnal...so the greatest song ever written would probably be a hymn.
I like How Great Thou Art and Be Thou My Vision. Final answer.

4. What do you hope to accomplish while in Estonia?
I hope that even if I can't offer anything on my own or do anything for my team or the people that I meet there, that God will still use me. I hope that I come home better than I went. That I learn something or grow in some way. I hope that my love for Christ will be evident in my actions and my attitude and that the people I come in contact with in Estonia will be impacted by Christ through me.

I hope everyone is having a great, short week!
