Alive.

Today I've never felt so restless in my life.

I woke up abnormally early for how late I went to sleep.

I started moving and fulfilled my "to-do" list before noon.

I went to school early to volunteer my time like I typically do.

I should have felt overwhelmed by the build up of work from the previous Thanksgiving break, but instead I finished it all in a hour and spent the rest of my 2.5 hours at school ---restless---pacing---anxious.

This is odd.

After school I gave a lady a ride to church and then went straight to my tutoring sessions with two of my students. It went well---and I drove home to grab food quickly before I picked up the three kids I promised to babysit.

I babysat for three hours--played, fed them dinner, took them hot-tubbing, then returned them home to their wonderful parents.

Arriving home at 9:30pm, I still was full of energy.

I'm restless! This is sooo abnormal for me. I never feel anxious for no reason. I had a full day and still I feel like I need more. I need to do more. I want to do more. I am capable of doing so much more.

I have a love-hate relationship with this feeling of restlessness. It's definitely a step up from my feelings of apathy, but I'm not sure what to do next.

It's exciting and irritating to not have plans for my life. It's crazy because God has completely provided for my every need thus far---I have been making more money doing odd jobs than I ever would make if I had a scheduled job. I'm surrounded with wonderful friends and family. Opportunities await me.

I felt like calling everyone I know and asking them what I can do to help out in their area--but then that feeling quickly passed as I realized my schedule is full for the next month.

So I'm seeking out what NEXT. I am so ready for the next adventure---send it my way God! I'm amp-ed!
