Life is crazy, in a beautiful way. It's also crazy in an insane kind of way. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad. I've heard before that you are either in a trial, have just gotten out of one, or you're waiting for the next one to come along.

But it's worth it.

Lately I've had a lot to worry about it seems. What am I doing next school year, how am I paying for my Mexico trip, it's one thing after another. I was reading my devotional today and it was talking about trials on Earth, but it's leading up to an eternity of peace and no worries. That was enough to help me through my day because I never thought of life like that before. I've always kind of feared my life ending, but now it's more of a "just gotta get through it" sorta thing.

A lifetime in this earth full of trials is worth an eternity without any. And I have a God who is my strength no matter what I'm going through. :)

Hey! I haven't written on here in a few months! Things are going well with life and with this Mexico trip we're preparing for! I've actually set up a page on the Go Fund Me website so that people can donate directly online. I have raised the first 500 and have about 450 to go, so that's awesome!

Here's the link to that:

Alright, short and sweet but just wanted to share that :)

I'm missing

I'm missing hearing my flip flops clunk down the blue, paint chipped stairs as I hear the sound of kids playing.

I'm missing walking into the kids classrooms and hearing them yell my name as they greet me with hugs.

I miss when Dulce would get home from school and the first thing she would do is
give me a hug and say hello.

I wish I had my arms wrapped around Eliza, just because she wanted some love.

I miss Valeria just stopping and giving me kisses and then going on with whatever she was doing.

I miss sitting in classrooms and having kids show Chiarina and I their crafts.

I miss when I wrote in Kitzia's notebook I gave her, just so she could always have me with her.

I'm missing when Alberto would just come sit by me.

I miss when Alex would come and ask for my camera, and I just couldn't say no to that smile.

I miss Jazmine just randomly telling me she loves me.

I miss Liza's face lighting up when I would walk into class.

I miss those kids. I miss waking up at 7:30 to go help with their class. I miss hugging them and holding them and giving kisses. I miss being with them, I miss how I feel when I'm with them. I miss the joy that I have when I'm there and loving those kiddos like Jesus would.

I can't wait to see them again.
