Compromise... Friend or foe?

The art of compromise... To find a happy medium between two opinionated people. Is it fine to compromise in every area in life? I mean if I want Chinese food but can't make it to pfchangs I go to the scarry place... Or if I really want sonic I go to the gas station and mix something unique. When I bought a car, I wanted an Altima and settled for a civic. Is it ok to compromise everywhere? What about in a man? How far is too far to compromise? As a Christian, is salvation really the only uncompromisable quality? As I get older how far is it ok to compromise? I have seen many friends compromise in this area and some are super happy while others seem entirely miserable. Where is the boundary? At 33, is it time to compromise everything and settle just for a Christian? Or do I still have time to wait for someone who meets some of those what seem like unattainable qualities of the imaginary perfect guy? Where are the boundaries?

Where in the world....

Where in the world am I supposed to take up residency? God has been poking at my heart to see the world and hopefully do some good. But the question is... Where? I have friends who will gladly put my up for a few months to see the best of Ethiopia. I could revisit mission fields I have already seen and help there... But honestly... I just don't know. I do know that ever since I have seen the need for world missions I have had a burden, but now I wonder if my burden is just a spot of compassion or the Holy Spirit moving me. For the first time in a long time I think I am willing to be moved. When the door opens and the opportunity knocks, I want to be the first one to take it!
