Relaunch: Get To Know The Blogger

     I have been thinking about restarting this blog for a while now, I have several topics I want to discuss and cover. The purpose of this blog was never supposed be just Thailand and reentry and yet that's what it has become. It became a memorial to a small snippet of my life. I don't want it to stay that way, I want it to become active and engaging again. I want it to matter. While there are a list of things I want to write about; serious things, impertinent things, things that I believe in and I'm passionate about. However, for a small relaunch I wanted to do a little re-get to know me. I got these "Meet the Blogger" questions from The Tully Tales, so let's go.

What’s your Favorite Book? This is a tough one because I am an avid reader and I read so many different genres and authors. I'm going to go with Hope Was Here by Joan Bauer. It has been one of my favorites since I was in elementary school and reread it every year. I also love Anne of Green Gables, To All The Boys I've Loved Before, and anything by Ally Carter or Sarah Dessen
What’s your favorite ice cream flavor? Vanilla...I know I'm boring.
What’s your most embarrassing childhood memory? When I was about 6 I accidentally went into the men's restroom at a restaurant and went to the bathroom. While I was in the stall a couple of guys came in and started using the restroom. I tried to leave...I didn't understand the concept of urinal placement in the bathroom. It was mortifying.  
What are your 3 Favorite Movies?
1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
2. Gifted
3. Anne of Green Gables
What’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever been? Koh Samet, Thailand. It is my favorite place on earth!
What accomplishment are you most proud of? As of now I'm honestly just proud of the progress I've helped kids make at my current job. I'm a paraprofessional in an elementary school.
Who would you like to live like for a day? Beanie Feldstein because I love her and she just looks like she has such a fun life.
If you could ask your pet 3 questions, what would they be?
1. What do you do when we're not at the house?
2. Are you afraid of the dark or is it just hard to see?
3. How do you pick your human?
When you’re having a bad day, what do you do to make yourself feel better? I drive around aimlessly with the music as loud as it will go, read a book, or go for a walk.
Using one word, how would you describe your family? Passionate
Who is the kindest person you know? Sai, she is seriously the kindest, sweetest person I have ever met and I miss her face.
What is the scariest movie you’ve ever seen? The Great Mouse Detective...don't @ me. It's true.
Who’s your celebrity crush? Sebastian Stan and/or Chris Evans.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be? That I haven't been, Israel.
If you could shop for free at one store, which would you choose? Any book store or Maurice's
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? A dolphin trainer.
What’s your favorite day of the week? Saturday
Who would play you in a movie about your life? Beanie Feldstein
What’s the one food you could never bring yourself to eat? Liver.
What’s your pet peeve? When people use the word Nazi as a synonym for anal...it's just...let's not.

Face To Face With Heroes Of The Faith

     Hi Everyone! Can you believe I've been in Thailand almost three weeks? It's been an amazing time or learning and adjusting so far. I am enjoying the immersion in a totally new culture. Being able to experience a new language, food, and practices is stretching and challenging at time and other times it's exciting and fun; often it's a mixture of all four. Even though they don't have a whole lot with this post I'm throwing in random pictures just so you can see what I've been up to with your own eyes.     There are six of us going through a month of training at Impact School of Missions in preparation for various internships across South East Asia. We have classes and training up until the end of the month; in October we all officially move on to our internships! Our month at ISM consists of classes involving classes on the culture, language, effective ways to minister and serve, culture shock/stress, learning about ourselves, and many more. We explore ...

Seven Year Dream

     Just in case you missed it. I finished my month of training with ISM and I am now at my internship. I am so thankful for my amazing month with ISM. I was able to learn so much and grow with an amazing group of people. The likelihood of falling flat on my face without the help of ISM would be much greater than it is now that I was able to spend that time in training and transition. However, I am so happy to finally be at Nightlight working and serving. I serve in the office as an office assistant, but within that role I am blessed to be able to do a number of different things. I do some data entry, work sales, clean the showroom, give tours, attend outreach, I have the opportunity to teach English once a week for some of the women, and I help with whatever else needs to be done.      Some times working in an office or cleaning a room can seem mundane and pointless, but when I truly stop and think about the reality of where I am and what I'm doing I fin...

May Our Hearts Always Break

     Today I was giving a tour to a team that was visiting. We met and I told them about NL; how it was started and what we do and how we reach out to women. We're located in one Bangkok's many red light districts and usually after a tour the visiting team and I will walk to the offices. Often I hear teams express their shock at how out in the open and tolerated exploitation is in these areas. I watch their faces as we pass by various places and people in the middle of the afternoon on a week day. Things that should shock me, but I walk past them every day. Things that maybe they're being exposed to for the first time, but between my short time here and volunteering back in the states things I have known about or I have seen first hand multiple times. Does my heart really break the way it should? Have I become so used to the darkness around me that it doesn't phase me the way it used to?      I remember reading a blog post  from Love146  where th...
