Missions Love Around the World And Here At Home.

-
The one thing about being stuck , in a place where missions are not a huge thing in church . Really doesn't help when it one of the things you look forward to. I myself personally have been on two official mission trips in my lifetime. I went to mexico when I was pre high school early jr high , and then when I was in high school I went to Florida here in the states . My trip to Mexico was to give food , supplies , clothing , toys to kids in a remote village in Mexico to a planted Nazarene Church. Apart from that we painted , and sanded and polished Church pews. For the Church , Going on Missions is a very humbling experience to sit in that bus while traveling to the village almost everyday and seeing the ramshackle houses made out of scrap and wood and things found on roads. It truly brings your life into thought , you take so many things for granted , heating bathrooms , light , clean water, food . The clothing on your back , as a child the toys your parents bought you. Going there and seeing the kids happy just to eat peanuts , (we had to turn kids away due to them getting 2nds.) Peanuts simple peanuts , I complain when my food is wrong , and that's what I need remember from that experience is that . I should not take things for granted, I honestly wish I could share photos from my Trip , but I had no camera at the time. But things were certainly memorable in such a fashion that missions is the one thing I want to keep  doing somehow . I love seeing people happy , kids are the one thing that come to mind . To bring a smile to a child 's face is something honestly that can turn my whole day around. Now my 2nd Missions Trip , and Trip to our Church's Annual Convention was also a look in another direction to the poor that live here in the united states , sure we got to go to convention and universal studios as a treat for working . There was someone who needed our help , the only problem I had was certain people I felt were there for all the wrong reasons. Those are the worst, but that's a whole different story and I rather not get into that. But , on this trip we remodeled and painted the sweetest ladies house , she was a on going church goer Who loved the lord. I felt blessed to know her and how thankful she was to have her house painted and done and her walls inside her house done. Though I have Pictures from the trip I cannot upload much since I dont have a scanner. Missions are humbling and they teach you to not take what you have for granted... Its still on my bucket List to make it to or go on a Global Oversea's Mission before I Die . Its in my heart to atleast in this moment in my life , if I cant go then sometime soon I will go where god would want me for a few weeks.

Recovery and Moving on with your life : Its a Process..

Its coming up on two years since I packed up my stuff and left the place that I called home for the last three years. Though I dont feel like I should drag out my posts on what happened , then I feel like its a step in a long recovery of loving myself. And loving things before I associated them with him. Tears pouring down my face, I was told things would not change. But they did , I lost a pet ,  I lost someone that I thought loved me. Maybe he did at some point , but the love wasn't there anymore and thinking about it now . I really wish most days I left sooner, one step with recovery is you start liking and doing things you did during the relationship. Talking with a counselor , she also spoke of it being a remembrance of good memories not the bad ones.  I took a small step in that with cooking an egg in a nest, which is a piece of bread with an egg in the middle. Which was something that I loved , when I was with him. He actually made them for me when we first started d...

When it comes down to it .. You Gave Up , I did not ..

When it comes down to it , and its the brutal truth . Maybe someday you will read this or maybe not. Most days I believe that I kept going despite all the craziness that went with your life. If I honestly gave up then I would have left a long time ago. I stuck it out for 3 years, and when it comes close to say it. I would not have changed it for the world , you showed  me so much , what I wanted to have and what I did not need to deal with or deserve. When I do get in that mood or I think about what could have happened. I was the one who was wanting to stick it out until the end. I was the one who would have climbed mountains for you. When you did the basics , you were loving you were there for me when it counted. But at the same time , you lost that same spirit that you once had. But I still remember that day , when you gave up . When you said that is enough , when you sat and told me all these lies. And dont get me wrong , I thought at the time , it was the truth. YOU were the...

Sometimes you Just have to work at it.

Good Relationships , Dont Just happen they are built over a span of time . Sometimes are riddled with mistakes and sometimes things are just jumped quick. For example , my relationship is something that at the same is the most unperfect thing in the world. We jumped things way too quick, we moved in too quick and we did a lot of things way too quick. Our relationship does need work and  we do know it. Sometimes well all the time you need to be honest with yourself , sometimes change is good when thinking about a lot of things. As I'm not going into details because that is my private life , but honestly when thinking about it sometimes change is good. And sometimes change is needed when improving a relationship. You just have to work at it.
