Speechless
So I haven’t blogged yet since I got back from Honduras because honestly I have no idea where to start. There is so much I want to say! So much that I learned, experienced, loved, and grew from I don’t even know if words would do it justice. So I’ll start with this:
I. Love. God.
We learn to love God as little children, but sometimes we don’t develop that love as we get...
Si es amor
So I’ve only been here about 36 hours, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! Everything about it is absolutely amazing! I am completely exhausted already, and the only reason I’m up blogging right now is because I apparently lost my journal in the airport which really depresses me. But I’ll live.
So Sunday I woke up at 6am to get ready for church and then was busy until a little after 8. It...
It's ok, they're related.
I hear this a lot. Not being said to me, but being said about me. Usually it’s in the context of me and my sister arguing and such.

So last night I watched pretty amazing fireworks! I love fireworks! I could watch them all night long! Even while I driving home, I kept getting distracted but all the ones going off to side of the road. Which we all know me getting distracted could have ended in disaster, but it didn’t. :)
Fireworks are lovely. All the colors. The brightness of them. The way each one is different in some...
I'm not a little girl anymore!!!
I’ve been telling my mother this for years now. I’m not a child anymore! I’m a big girl! Let me handle it how I want to handle it! I can take care of myself!
And every time I said it, I meant it! Whole heartedly. I knew I didn’t need her coming in to “save the day” and “take care of her baby.”
But honestly, I never told myself that.
Inside I have...
