Difficult is an understatement
I never thought i would have to deal with some of the things I’ve been dealing with lately. And i must point out that it is totally the Lord that i was able to do what i had to. Doing the right thing really is difficult. It’s hard to do something knowing “friends” may not like you as much, knowing that people are most deff texting about you (while you’re sitting next to them), knowing that other people may think your jerk blah blah blah.
But it is also really comforting knowing that you have wisdom coming from people you trust and having their support in your decision. It’s nice to know that you still have a team behind you who supports your decision.
It’s even better to have a God who gives you the words to say at the right time and preps you for things to come. It’s a blessing to know that the Lord has gone before me and has made a way.
All in all, today was a very mentally draining day, and something that i hoped i never had to do, but God in His graces carried me through.
I really can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Father at doctors office talking to his child who is acting like a bafoon…i was by no means the trophy child at 2, but i also knew not to act like that, or else i would be dead meat….
Where is the decency?!
Talk about sacrifice
I was telling my parents about my schedule this weekend which mainly consists of the newsroom everyday but Sunday…as in ill be in at 8 a.m., and leave at 6.
My dad was saying how much sacrifice this job is causing to make. Thankfully he was saying it in a way where he’s proud of me, not upset that im gone all the time, which is great. But i told him i dont really think my friends realize that when i say ill be in the newsroom till june, i will really be in the newsroom till june.
Trust me, it’s hard for me to not leave the newsroom early so i can go hangout, but it wouldn’t be a sacrifice right? So for the 3.5 of you that i do hangout with, dont be offended if i turn down a request to hangout…but you better know that when i call you to hangout i expect us to hangout hahaha.
Anyway, im glad Jesus shows us what the ultimate sacrifice was so i know living with this sacrifice is possible.
…..What am i doing?! I have work to do!!
Friends are the people that come through for you when you really need them!
I can say I’m blessed with a few of these…not many, but just enough. I love em all.

TIME STAMP: 8:14 p.m.
SUMMIT COLOMBIA has come to an end and nothing has changed, not even my shirt, since we began this meeting at 10:00 a.m.
Tried and true:
1) The reemergence of my migraine that never really left.
2) Colombia is neither as third world nor as cheap as it seemed.
3) My…
Ugh, I’m DYING to go back to colombia…need a babysitter?
