Being a Dreamer...


Can i dream with you for a second...
(without criticism, without everything planned, without thinking everything through rationally)

Here is my tentative exciting plan for the next few years. It makes me smile just thinking about it!
I am planning on coming back to New Zealand for another one if not two years. I am looking into the possibility of coming back as a fully supported missionary under Global Partners but there are still a lot of details to work out before that happens.
In that time i would also love to complete my Master's degree.
If i were to look into the Program at Asbury i would still have one more year of schooling back in the states after those two years.
If not i am thinking about running across the US(CA to NC)! (haha). I am seriously dreaming, but i was talking it through and why not?!? Just by pure mileage it would take about
Year- 8 miles/day
9 months- 12 miles/day
6 months- 16 miles/day
3 months- 20 miles/day

I am all about goal setting right now so here is a dream three year plan...

2008-2009
Minister in New Zealand with young adults and the Wesleyan church
Finish my Masters
2010
Run across the states
Use any left over time and money in the year to travel
2011
Step into a church that i believe in
Hopefully be on track towards finding a girl or getting married. :)

Just Dreaming...
Why not...?!?

I am open to your thoughts, i am thinking out loud.

If i were to run across the states and you would be willing to jog a leg of the journey with me, would you post a comment saying you would? That would be awesome!
tarzan brent! :)
