The last time I was on here was a long time ago. about 3 years to be exact. I have had a lot happen in those past three years. I guess I will have to do a brief recap followed by many blogs about the many things I have done and seen. To start, I now live in Portland OR. In the heart of the city with my husband. Thats right I am married now. Weird.. didn't even know him when I started this blog. I work for an insurance company and sort of love it and am currently contemplating going to law school. I have lived in Chicago, been to Israel, Germany, Scotland, and London since last I wrote and have photo's and stories for all of them. But one thing is for certain, this is just the beginning of our journey. And Portland, Portland is an adventure in an of itself.
But the real reason I returned to this blog is ironically the same reason I started it. Because of Sean Trank. See he was my coworker/ supervisor in San Francisco while I was living there and working for Jews for Jesus and encouraged me to begin a blog. When I left SF I ceased blogging… mostly for lazy reasons, slightly because I forgot I had a blog, and a lot because I felt I didn't have time. But now that Sean has gone home to be with Jesus… I see an importance in writing. Even if no one ever reads it. You see Sean died from lung cancer, at the age of 28. Yah right? I know,… 28. I am almost 23…. (gives me the willy's in a very selfish reality gripping sort of way, and makes me really really sad) In Sean's 27 years he touched and influenced more people by actively blogging about his life and ministry than most Christians do in a life time. And while in many ways I hope this blog is unread, and just remains a healthy place for me to become a better writer and healthfully expel excessive emotions and possibly a place for humorous and biased rants (what is a blog if not a place to rant from a very single sided position?!) I also have learned there is something to be said for saying something. For telling the world, I am here, this is my story. Sean's life was dedicated to openly sharing his story so that others might know the God whom he served. He influenced many people through his blogs. I hope if you're reading this, I bless and influence you. So here we go learn from my mistakes, glean wisdom from my travels, and for Gods sake, never ever say the word "Bomb" at the airport, they really don't think its funny. At all. … ever … Im serious you guys.
