New Hobby -- Blogging. :)

You seriously don't have to read every one of my posts, but they will include any of the following: - Occasional updates on random activities I enjoy - Poetry - Pictures of what I ate that morning. No, that's instagram. - Insights on life and spiritual things - Funny stories - Updates on my whereabouts - Embarrassing stories. Not mine, Brielle's. - Random analogies I have made about something - Secrets about my friends that I swore I would tell no one... j/k So feel free to stop by occasionally. I called this blog "A Little Arizona Sunshine" for two reasons. 1. Every other conceivable name was taken. Seriously?? How many people actually blog?? 2. I travel a lot but always feel that Arizona is my home. It's always sunny and warm and I like that. So everywhere I go, I hope people see a little piece of Arizona Sunshine in me along with a sunny disposition that shows that I'm a Christian. Thanks for stopping by! I'll probably post an old ...

Blown away with HOPE

HOPE = Helping Other People Everywhere 4 days a year the school shuts down and does community service in the Spokane area (HOPE Taskforce day). We do everything from shelters and Ronald McDonald House to raking leaves for some neighbors. Today, there was severe winds. Gusts of 60 mph.

No matter how much work you put into something, you cannot control the weather and you have to learn to just smile and roll with the punches. 2. Even when you're stressed beyond measure and don't know how you're going to get through the day, God takes care of you. A group of sophomores decided to clean my house and cook me dinner while I was trying to do damage cont...

Reflections on Health

Image
In December, I completed the HEALTH program with 30 or so of my new friends. Here's how it impacted my life: - I lost 22.6 decagrams... that just sounded more impressive than .5 lbs lol - I gained more or less 5,000 pounds... of new friendship. My expectations of the program when I signed up were very different from what I encountered. In some ways, that was negative. But in many more ways, it was such a blessing. What did I expect? - To be thinking about myself and my own health the entire time - That I would be alone for the most part other than my outreach partner (Shout out to JUBY!! I miss you cuz!!) - The programs would be dull, but necessary to learn how to facilitate. - I would change drastically in a physical sense - I wouldn't change that much in the way I viewed my world - That I'd make simple friendships that wouldn't be that deep because, hey! we're only here for 4 months, so why get attached? (Right. Like that ever happens in a Summer progr...
