Sort of Snippets?

We have an unexpected amount of down time today. Alyssa is down with food poisoning (or that is what we are being told.) I think I may have a touch of whatever she has, but I’m living life. Currently listening to a video essay, reading books, eyeing my Zofran, and overthinking any sensation in myContinue reading “Sort of Snippets?”

Spirals.

If I’m writing a blog post while on outreach, I must either have an abundance of free time, or something big enough to get through the still sort of there emotional block. I haven’t had downtime in a week. Take that as you will. Our hosts have the stomach flu. I appreciate Drew andContinue reading “Spirals.”

Snippets: Extended

These are snippets from my outreach journal thus far that I didn’t expand upon in the actual journal because I write in my journal right before bed, and I am dead tired every night, so minimal details for the win. I know I haven’t been faithful in writing on this page, and I am sorryContinue reading “Snippets: Extended”

First Thailand thoughts ?!

Outreach So I’m here. In Thailand. It doesn’t feel real. Half the team is gone, and we’re overseas, and in a culture we don’t know. *** oops. I fell asleep. Ya girl was TIRED. I’m on a bus headed to our first real location. I’ve been in Thailand for about two days. Its something. I’mContinue reading “First Thailand thoughts ?!”

A Day in the Life of a Maybe Missionary

A Day in the Life of a Maybe Missionary I thought I would do something fun, switch things up. All of our days look at least mildly different, so I’ll pick a day and pretend the schedule is cohesive. I wake up in my shared room to Maddie’s alarm. Ashlin somehow manages to sleep throughContinue reading “A Day in the Life of a Maybe Missionary”

One of those YouTuber Apology Videos

But I’m not a YouTuber, and this is a blog. Hey new readers. I am almost positive that this overly poetic style of my dealing with my emotions was not what you were expecting when you agreed to read this. I am sorry about that, I honestly forgot what this blog was originally usedContinue reading “One of those YouTuber Apology Videos”

Avoidance

I have yet another list of things to write about and process, so lets dive right in. We moved to Pattaya. I miss the family. It’s too loud and busy here. The mosquitoes are worse. The ocean is cool. Too much sand. This place is trashy. Literally there is trash everywhere. The poorly hidden sexContinue reading “Avoidance”

I cried twice today

On two separate occasions for two entirely separate reasons. I haven’t really cried in weeks. Months maybe. I’ll start with the smaller reason first. We were told that there was no more soccer practice. I hadn’t realized that. I had told my girls that I would see them a few more times before I go.Continue reading “I cried twice today”

Aftershocks.

A lot of things hit today that hadn’t hit yet. I had been inadvertently thinking that when I finish the Bible, and as a result, reach out to him again, everything will go back to the way it was before all of this. I know that isn’t true. But I’d let myself believe it untilContinue reading “Aftershocks.”

Continuation

I don’t know why I’m here, writing again. I had it all processed and thought out and through and over. It’s a lot of little things, really. He’s pretending nothing is wrong in the Thailand group chat, but only to an extent. I found out that he’s still having full conversations with my mom. TheContinue reading “Continuation”
