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.

If I could..

 If I could I would say this.. since you've been in my life . You've made me feel like somehow I can conquer the world and try my best at anything. When your name lights up on my phone , I smile one of those smiles that you love. Just honestly friends right now , but I want to know you more and learn more and keep having you around me. You make me laugh with the silliest and stupidest things , you make me want to be better for myself and you. I know that our pasts have been not the greatest and we've had pain and things that we regret. You tell me , your keeping your distance because your scared at what I will think. But still, I want you to come closer to draw closer within your own time. Please don't ever feel that you aren't enough. Don't ever think that I wont turn away.. somehow things work out for a reason and things are still smoky as I would call it. We don't know where this is going to go.. but I still see something there I just don't know what

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 dating

Well not all the time , I dont spend all day watching Tv. But yes I do watch tv among other things.  The new fall network , lineup has been here for awhile, and I thought I would share my thoughts on some old favorites and new ones that I have grown custom to watching over the summer break. This is us , (NBC) is one of those drama's that keeps you interested but wondering what is going on. I have only watched one episode , but read a few reviews yes I know that I am behind several episodes.  Westworld, (HBO) I have watched the first two episodes and really just want to binge watch this show. After one episode I was hooked, this show though I have not watched the movie that inspired the series. It just leaves you wanting more, I just love the whole world.  Timeless( NBC) this is one of those sci like shows that keeps you wondering. A group of time travelers are trying to prevent history from being written or rather unwritten. This is a favorite of my siblings , we watch t
