Since returning from Honduras so many thoughts have been swirling around in my head. Ramifications of the way I live. I am happy with who I am as a person (which is huge for me to say that). God has taught me a lot of lessons. He's working on me and helping me in my relationships and other goals and desires....Yet I see things I could do different. Usually when these thoughts hit me I'm cooking dinner or in the shower and so I don't have the opportunity to write them down - and then they start to fade.

Some of them I posted on my facebook account...feeling I haven't accomplished much at home since returning from Honduras - (Yet I think some of that was due to an allergic reaction I had to the malaria medicine. Because of that - and being so active while gone I think my body needed more rest and so I've been slower in some of my tasks since I've been back)

I also have seen more ways that I am my family are selfish. I can do things to change some of my issues but I'm not sure about what I should say to my family. I have sorted through my closet and pulled out clothes that are too big, clothes I don't wear that much or that I don't like anymore. I have a lot of clothes to donate and my closet looks neat - it's not stuffed with ridiculous amounts of clothes!

I am considering donating some of my discretionary money to the missionaries in Honduras - or maybe seeing if we can cut some categories expenses and donate more then I would be able to do otherwise. I'll continue to post thoughts that I have about my life and things I can do to make more of a difference in my local community - I know I have been blessed so much - and I take much of it for granted and am always wanting more. I hope God can change me into a more giving, selfless person.

Stay tuned for more thoughtful posts - and soon those pictures of things we did while in Honduras.
