People:)

Well, I've decided one thing from living in Hawaii and that is how much I love people! Now, I realize that probably sounds very strange and it's not like I didn't like people back home.. I have just been able to finally realize the extent of it now! I get the chance to ride The Bus everyday to and from work. Some people may think this is a miserable experience, but I love it! Obviously having to wait sometimes to go where you want to go isn't always the best.. But I have been able to learn so many things that I never thought I would! I have been able to meet so many people that I won't forget about. I met an old guy named Tommy who had a boil on his butt... Yes, that choice of conversation wouldn't have been my first, but hey, I guess that's just what he wanted to talk about!! I also met an awesome girl named Candy who was very friendly and talkative! She was blind but didn't let anything stop her. She invited me out to her church and I was able to invite her to mine as well. We got to talking about how we both believe in God and all the miracles he does. She had an amazing memory and was able to tell me word for word of some letters that she had written to her dad who had passed away a couple years ago. She talked about how at times she felt like her disability was a punishment, but was then able to realize that God loves her no matter what and wouldn't punish her. She was amazing. I realize that these stories may not seem that great to anyone reading this, but I have been able to realize how much I love people. Everyone is so different and everyone has a story. I have loved being able to hear the stories of people and I just decided that people are so interesting and we need to give everyone a chance to have a friend, no matter their situation!:)

Hmmm.... Just Too Much On My Mind....

Well, it has been a rough few days to be completely honest. I just found out that our landlord wants to sell our house. The only way we will get to stay is if by some miracle someone buys it who wants to invest in it and rent out the rooms again. I know i should not complain because I'm living in Hawaii for goodness sakes! But i think i would rather be in a house in Hawaii as opposed to being homeless in Hawaii.. (Not that it would get that extreme, hopefully.) I'm just a little stressed out because i finally felt like i could call this my home. I love my roommates so much and i don't want us to get split up at all. Anyway, i guess sometimes i let my mind get the best of me and start feeling a little down. But because i have the best older sister in the world who is always so positive no matter what life throws at her, I am able to learn a lesson from her. Thanks Suz:) I have learned that I need to be happy with where my life is at right now. I have felt pretty alone lately and really homesick, which I didn't expect to happen, but it has. I don't like feeling alone, but a post on Suzie's blog reminded me of how i can always turn to Christ and I am a daughter of a King. I really appreciate that.
I also can't wait to go back for Jules wedding!! Oh my, the thought that I will be on a plane in seven days kills me!! I just can't wait!! I am so happy that she is happy and was able to find the love of her life so early in life! She must be a special girl:) I just love my family so much and am so excited to be engulfed in their hugs again!!
