Continuing the Journey

 

I haven't been on this blog in quite a while, over a year I think. Right now, I have not been a part of OA for a while. The group I was a part of was not what I was looking for. The priniciples are sound, and I do believe that it is a spiritual and emotional issue but it is not where I am finding peace. I am finding peace in my own journey with God, my sharing of faith with friends and within myself. So, I am going to leave this blog up for a little bit, to reflect back on, and see where my personal faith takes me.

I am still here...

Trying to do too many things...keeping up with work, trying to start a family, stay healthy, put together a 70th bday party for my mom, keep my marriage going...lots going on, though I know i am not the only busy woman out there.
Life is good overall.
will check back in soon.

Back to basics

I have been away for a long time now. Searching for myself mostly. I am slowly finding myself. What I am working on is accepting myself. That has always been hard for me. I have always listened to the voices out there and inside of me that said I wasn't good enough, thin enough, pretty enough, just not enough. But that is not true. I am who God created me to be. He created me and knew everything about me before I ever appeared on this earth. I am worthy. I am enough.

What a crazy world we live in

We live in a world where we spend billions of dollars on a senseless war when we have millions of children starving and dying of hunger. We live in a world where I can go to 10 fast food restaurants within 5 miles of each other and there are children who have no access to food.

I will post more of my Honduras trip soon, I have just been super busy with work, getting up at 5:15 am to go to the gym (yeah me!) But, I hurt my back yesterday, so I may be out of commission for a little while....

I'm back...

I have been back for a little while, trying to readjust to the American pace of things, work, home, family, etc. But I miss this beautiful country of Honduras and the beautiful people. They have such a warm spirit and still have hope despite poor conditions. I will post more later on my journey, but just wanted to share a few photos. Hope you all are doing well out there....

Isn't she a cutie!

Picture removed

I love her to pieces. We are going to visit our niece today. I can't wait

3 days!!!

I have been to the Y 3 days this week, but the real accomplishment is getting up at 5:15 am to get down there.

I am proud of myself. I aim to go at least 3 times this coming week also, then I will be headed off to Honduras for a medical mission trip. You can check out a short article of the clinic here. This is one church that goes and set up the initial clinic, but teams from around the country rotate in every two weeks. Ours will be the first team since Oct/Nov. So I imagine we will be busy. This will make my 9th mission trip there since 1996. It is a beautiful country but so poor in many areas. I am grateful for the opportunity to go again.
