Curiosity Killed the Cat.
Im curious about love. Real love. Where it comes from and who put it there? How do you keep it how do you get rid of it? What if you cant? In the age of ADD/nature deficiency how do you make it work? Is there a secret to it? This isnt case specific to anything for me, Im just curious. Ive really been in a season for learning and absorbing. A real curious season.
I want to know your stories. Do your parents have a story about love? What about your grandparents? Most importantly yours...
How do you feel about love, friendships, relationships, marriage, family, heartbreak/heartache (they are two different things I think), loss, and the origin of it all? If you have something short and profound then please share but Im more so interested in the long stories with depth and truth.
GO!

Happy Camper.
Theme of the moment.....Go with it.
I cant believe the relief I have felt for the past few months. I never thought that this peace of mind would exist for me. God is good. Every day I am AMAZED by Him. Like my mouth has actually hit the floor a couple of times and I think I said "Wow, I wouldve never thought that". Its an amazing, new, good feeling.
My friends are absolutely incredible. I missed them ever so. Kimi said to me "Im so glad to have my friend back" as though I had been hiding! I love what and who is going on in my life. I pray and give thanks everyday, multiple times a day, because I am ever so in love with what He is doing.

New leaves.
Random thought about my new life journey.
-I cant save people. Change comes from within through Christ and Im not Him. Some peoples exteriors are beautiful but their insides are broken. Ive dedicated every second of every day for the past however long, year or so, trying to "fix" some one thru unconditional love and Ive got nothing back. I guess Im just as broken and clueless as you.
-I cant pretend like Im okay with everything. If I did, thats when Id be the "liar" Ive been accused of being.
-Picking up the pieces isnt easy. There are millions of them.
-When is enough, enough? Why isnt love enough?

Love you and miss you all!

“It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves.”
So, as Im sitting in bed alone I start searching again for my next adventure. Searching online at Bing.com for cheap flights to Haiti just because I feel a social responsibility to help people. I dont know where it comes from because I certainly wasnt raised doing that. Travel to Haiti would be extremely in expensive, however, I dont know any organizations that are taking people with zero qualifications. How depressing does it sound to say "I have zero qualifications on paper and I dont have a degree in anything that matters". If there were a way for an interviewer or organization to look into my heart and see that all I want to do in my life is help people. The immense passion I have to make a difference feels like its clawing its way out of my chest just thinking about it. After coming to the realization that Im probably not going to find anything that I fit the criteria for in Haiti so I ventured onto looking at my beloved Uganda once again. It is significantly cheaper this time around which is amazing and I know Id easily find a place to help. I start looking at familiar web pages like Invisible Childrens and I stumble across the Legacy Tour. This tour includes not only American roadies but Acholi roadies as well. Who knew that Norman, Jolly's dad, would be heading up the Deep South route!? Im so excited about that but I still want to go back. Id seriously leave right this second if I could. I dont even know why Im typing this Im the only one who reads this crap blog anyways but Im also the only one who gets how much I love Uganda. I guess if anyone reads this, if anyone knows anyone who can connect me with a "job" there, if anyone can pray for me to be reconnected to the Acholi people that I hold so dear to my heart, Id greatly appreciate it.

Live.
The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.
