Saturday : Endings

Let it be known this will be my last N.O. posting for Spring Break.

We got up and ate breakfast at 9:30. I had a cinnamon roll. It was delicious.

Its hard to think that for spring break we drove for six days, and worked for five. A little silly if you ask me.

The bonding in the car, however, is not silly. I love the team. I LOVE the team. Not in the mushy love sort of way but in the family kind of way. I feel like I can live life with these people.

I forgot to finish this yesterday so ill finish it now. We're currently driving through Iowa and should be home in a few hours.

All I see are fields and wind turbines.

Yesterday we had a good drive from Tennessee to Iowa. We had a rap battle between both vans. The van I was in won! The battle took place outside a Mcdonalds in Iowa City.

After that it wasn't much longer until the hotel. We got there early enough before the pool closed so we just hung out there and chatted. Then we played a game in the lobby until about one in the morning.

I'm still processing what happened in New Orleans. So much information in so little time takes me awhile to process. I'm still thinking of ways to implement what I learned into my community.

The windmills of Iowa are spinning.

I guess as long as there is wind those turbines will keep spinning and as long as there is air in my lungs I will keep living.

But how then shall I live?
What should I do with my time?
Where am I called?

And as we keep traveling down the roads of Iowa so to do I travel down the road of life. What is passed is behind me and the direction ahead is the only thing I control.

Iowa can teach lessons of endings, of beginnings, and everything in-between.
