No Title Necessary

One day, or should I cleverly say night, I was chatting with a very close friend of mine over Facebook, well because we are MILES apart. She and I were discussing boys, school, more boys, and the friend scene. There were many things I, and she shared, that I never thought I would tell anyone, wel, because I thought no one would understand wehre I was, or am, coming from.

First, the subject of boys... Mainly, I complained of how I was tired of waiting, but, she, being the clever person she is, was used by God to tell me to hold off, 'cause, basically in a nutshell, the right guy is coming eventually. I quickly reassured her that she had her's coming too, and hopefully it's who we both hope it is :) She is so wise in this area, and it makes me feel confident in talking to her.

School is starting back up soon and we are both excited. Not only does she get to come home, but Farm House and the Blue Hole both are waiting for us. It is only a couple of days before she'll be back, and I cannot WAIT!!!

I'm not going to elaborate more on the boy conversation. There is no need :)

Friend Scene. In this part of the conversation, I began blatantly stating how lucky my not so Christian friends have it. A few statements I made:

*"They get to live, and do what ever, how ever they want to."

*"Sometimes, I get jealous because they stay out all night, sleep all day and I am stuck somewhere like the library studying, just so I can barely pass a test."

She most comfortingly tells me that:

*"It'll be worth it!!"

* and basically that I can tough it out!

I know that God has me here for a reason, and if I listen and stick it out, I will have all I need for life... Thanks Cass for helping me see!!! ILY, You are the best!!

1. God, for saving me

2. my nieces

3. breath

4. music

5. mom

6. prayer

7. grace

8. life

9. humor

10. church

I finally figured out how to make kids be quiet. I popped in a movie,and they haven't said one word since it started. To me, this shows America's reliance on technology to make kids behave, even for a little while. I caved because that's all they have wanted to do all week.

Open Eyes

"Honduras 2009:

Many things I looked upon while in a developing country really made me think. I am free, I have money to live, I have a nice home, I don't have to worry about disease and infliction and I know that I have medical access when I do get sick. We as Americans have it lucky. I wish more people could realize. Today, I was reading a post done by a friend who is in E**pt. It was about Garbage City, the name explains it all. My niece comes around the corner and asks, about a picture on the screen, "What is that?!?" in a kind of voice that expresses disgust. I told her what it was, she stood there and cimply replied, "Cool." I then quickly repremanded her saying, "Lea, kids have to live in that garbage, consider yourself lucky that you don't live there." All she said was, "Yeah." I know she is only a child, but even a child her age COULD understand how lucky we are.

For instance, this little girl in El Pital, Honduras. She has no shoes, dirty clothes, dirty face, yet she is content in living because she knows what she has is worth living for.

new things

Right now, I am sitting on the bed in a new house. Well, not my house. I am puppy and house sitting for a friend while she is outta town. Two little puppies are laying near me, almost asleep. I hope that she reads this, so she will know that her darlings are perfectly fine, and they are cool and calm. It's pretty awesome to be alone in a house, knowing that parents will not be coming in the door soon. It's awesome...Yeah, so, hmmm...
