I feel both Kenya and Rwanda would be cool experiences, let me know which your church chooses! Jaime: Only if you'll be the Oprah, Jaime - don't think I'm not going to hold you to that. ;) Ken: I hear where you're at. I simply can't see myself busting through the wall like you did, though. I feel like your work is more rewarding to you in a lot of ways than mine - many of which I'm not willing to write about here - and truly admire the fact that you love what you do and have that commitment at our young age. I'll obviously keep you posted as to where things go. Vanessa: Thanks! I feel both Kenya and Rwanda would be cool experiences, let me know which your church chooses!

Definitely a respectable plan, but I'll also share my experience with you. I found myself feeling similarly to you, thinking that I needed to change what I was doing because I wasn't happy, and it was around the same time after starting work as you are at about now. I decided to give it some more time and realized it wasn't that I needed to change what I was doing, I had to change how I was looking at it and what effort I was putting into it. Now, I'm loving what I do and plan to do it for a long time. Only you know what's best for you - if along your path you've hit a wall, do you find a new path, take a break from walking, or bust straight through the wall? I'm interested to hear where you end up heading. Good post Hock. Definitely a respectable plan, but I’ll also share my experience with you.

I don't mind being cribbed at all when it's in such a thoughtful manner. Be the Barack, Dan, be the Barack! Good post! I don’t mind being cribbed at all when it’s in such a thoughtful manner.

I have a friend who went to Guatemala for a few months to help build houses and an orphanage - I'll ask her what group she went with. I'm potentially going to either Kenya or Rwanda in the spring through my church as well, which I'm really looking forward to, I just have to find out where we're headed! Great topic!
