Sitting on the edge of change

I wasn't planning on starting this until I went to Spain. But I'm wondering what's going to happen this summer. I want to start a journal, but I like typing better because it's easier. And then I can do pictures and play with technology.
So, as of right now, I'm not really sure what I should put.
What I would like to do this summer? Love people. Enjoy the summer. Prepare for Spain. Get my feet better. Read a lot of books. Maybe help teach ESL, not that I have any idea how to do that.

Thoughts on Christianity (I feel like I should put this now to see where I am):
I have come to realize that Christianity is not about being right. Christianity is about loving. and I'm at the point now where it doesn't matter if homosexuality is wrong or if it's not. The question isn't about that. The point of Christianity is that we are all made in the image of God. And so we all have value. So much value that we are worth dying for. And so, Christianity isn't as much about "let's hit you over the head with the Bible until you get into heaven" But more about bringing heaven here. (These thoughts are all heavily influenced by Rob Bell. I know this, and I'm okay with it. But that's why I want to read more books, I want to figure out what I believe without just being influenced by one person. I am very easily influenced.) I feel like it is good for me to have to put words to what I believe.
Anyway.
I'm wondering why God is having me stay home. I wanted to go to Colorado so much. I think it will work out though. I can't wait to see
