It is May 22, 2011

I meant to blog yesterday, but I was too busy celebrating the world not ending. As most of you know, crazy man Harold Camping predicted that the world was going to end yesterday. He was 100% sure of himself. I mean he had people giving away their life savings to follow him. I mean, how stupid can people be? You think people can't get any more stupid, and then something like this happens. And, what really makes me mad, stuff like this makes Christians look even worse. I know a lot of people have had bad experiences with Christians, and this just adds on to our insanity. I am not even going to comment on some of the crazy Christians these days. I think a lot of Christians have gone completely off course from what Jesus told us to do. I am not perfect. I struggle with this. I mean, I am only human, of course I mess up 98% of the time. But, it makes me so mad when another Christian judges someone by how they live life. Jesus said not to judge anyone else. So, why do people think they have the right to judge another person? They don't. Well, I just said I wasn't going to comment on that and I did. But, whatever. Back to this crazy old bat Harold Camping. I really want to see some responses from his followers. I want to know how they feel. I mean, a lot of them went crazy. They left their families, used all of their money for this campain. I mean.. I would be a little pissed. Wouldn't you?
Okay enough of that. I want to write about a little something that has been on my mind lately. Relationships. They are so overrated. I look at couples, and most of them just look so unhappy. Don't get me wrong, I know a few that are just completely perfect for each other. Such as, Danielle and Phil. They are just so wonderful together. God made them for each other. I hope I can have something half as good as they have when I grow up. :) But, 97% of couples that I see just make me want to throw up. I never want to be so unhappy. I mean, you date someone because you want to be with them right? I know a lot of people who are dating just because they want to get married. Why rush? I mean, I look at who I was 3 years ago, and who I am now. Wow! If I married who I was dating 3 years ago.. I would be miserable. Utterly miserable. Anyways, I have this whole renewed happiness about life. I am embracing where I am right now. I am single and 21. That doesn't mean that I go out and go crazy. I am just embracing my situation. I don't have anyone to answer to. I am free. I have 2 difficult years of nursing school ahead of me, and I am so excited about it! But, my options are wide open for the future! Why rush into a mediocre relationship that I will be unhappy with in a few months or years? It's just stupid to me. Anywho.. So I am now working on living life more spontaneously. This past wednesday I booked a trip to Europe for December. By myself. Well, kind of. I am meeting a random group of college students in London and we are traveling together. I am so super duper excited! I can't even contain myself. My old self would NEVER in a million years do this. But you know what? I am ready to enjoy my time on earth. This whole end of the world thing has got me thinking. I want to enjoy and embrace what I have. There are a lot of things I can't change. Sure, it pisses me off how inconsiderate and spoiled most of America is, and they most likely are not going to change. I can try my best, but most people won't change the way they are. So, I am going to stop worrying about them and enjoy my life! I have a whole new outlook on life. I love it! Until then--

Photo Journey of Haiti

I typed up a very long blog about the details of my time in Haiti. However, I cannot bring myself to share it yet. This was a very special trip for me. It was my first time in a third world country, so it was hard on me. It was an emotional experience. A lot of people have asked me how it was, and I have had a hard time putting it into words. Words cannot describe what I experienced there. So, I am sorry that I cannot write in detail about my trip yet. Maybe one day I will publish it on here. But, right now I feel like my words that I have written have not even come close to my true experience. Here are some pictures from the trip. I just added a few of my favorite shots. Maybe I can add a few pictures each day and write about them. Maybe that will help describe my trip a little better.
This is Pastor Burnex's baby girl. He is the Pastor of the church in Moulin. Moulin was several miles away up in the mountains. We went there for clinic one day. It was about an hour-hour 1/2 drive there. This region of the country had a lot of voodoo, so it was a pretty dark place. This was taken on Easter Sunday at Pastor Crisbon's house. They had a huge Easter service at the church, and had a baby dedication. This sweet little girl was a part of the dedication! It was so neat to experience. We found out that the only way for the people of Haiti to receive a passport is to go through a dedication. This is because there is no birth certificate or anything.
This is the license plate on one of the trucks.
