Day 10: Best trip you have ever taken.

Day 10: The best trip you have ever taken. 
So , I have been to a few places I have been to mexico twice both on missions. I have been to California for a Youth meeting of sorts. I have been to Florida twice , once on missions and youth meeting at the same time. The other time was for an actual vacation with my best friend , even though I would count my missions trips as vacations to me in most words. I have been to Texas countless times for youth rallies and church stuff and then for an actual vacation and seeing family. So I have traveled , I mainly do missions because that is apart of my heart. Is spreading the word of God to those who may not know it or honestly to bring comfort to those who need it. 
I think my best ever trip is a combination of mission trips that I have taken , even though I can admit. Going on vacation for yourself is fun , it doesn't leave the same impression that missions can have. My last well 2nd to last mission trip that I have been on was a trip to mexico , we worked with churches in the area . We held kids programs , and played with the kids and conducted revival church services with the adults. We also visited an orphanage , and played with the youngest of the bunch the older kids were sadly at school. 
This trip , was a little nerve racking due to the fact that it had been awhile that missionaries were brave enough to venture into mexico. Due to the drug cartels, and the drug battles that went on and through the years there since it escalated. We spoke with pastors , and they told us that help has come and was coming but from cooperation's and businesses that traveled to the area. Churches , came when they could but they picked and choose what they did since it was and still is deemed a bit unsafe for american's well Christians to travel there. I guess I should add we were not in a tourist town, where you see Americans on vacation . We were in Juarez , where its normal life people travel through the borders. So yes , it was odd to see us and we kinda stood out none the less this is one of those trips that you are hopeful you get to go yearly on.

Mexico Missions. I left my Heart in Juarez
I have a lot of goals , since my relationship has ended and that was two years ago. It took me awhile and I am still coming up with the courage to once I graduate college. To leave it all behind for a year and become a missionary. Though I do not know where I will serve or if I will stay in one place for long , I will trust in God for my plans . And hopefully see where it takes me, because though he has the pen to my story . I will be grateful wherever he takes me.

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.
