A long time coming...

Wow. It's been a long time since I've had some space to release the endless thoughts that fill my head. While living in Greece I had the opportunity to dictate my thoughts in a weekly e-mail update. Since returning to the states I've been keeping them all inside...not necessarily the ideal place for them.

As the title of my blog alludes to, I have been forever ruined for the ordinary thanks to the precision plans of the Master Planner. After spending a couple years in college, I took a detour from the academic track and joined a missions organization. This detour led me to some amazing places, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Three years of exploring, thinking, growing, and struggling in a variety of locations has left me a different person. Though outward appearances may not reflect significant change, my heart and mind have been forever altered.

Now I find myself returning to university, pondering what the next two years of school may hold, anxious to see where my journey will take me. I know that it will be a bumpy ride, but a fabulous one nonetheless. I long to truly live life to the fullest, and to extract all that it may possibly hold. The status quo no longer satisfies. The same ole same ole just isn't enough. I cannot and will not be content with the norm.

I want a life less ordinary.
