Quick update

As much as the last couple of months have dramatically changed one of my closest relationships, it has allowed me to strengthen my others.

Sometimes, you have to let go when someone is affecting your life in a harmful way. I have this motherly nature of wanting to protect those I love. There is no point in trying to "fix" a relationship that will always be broken. People change, circumstances change, life changes and the only constant is time. With that, I repeat: "this too shall pass".

I appreciate my friends more than words can describe. They are my family. I have been blessed with some authentic friendships that remind me of the way Christ wants us to love.

I had the honor of visiting Honduras on a Soles4Souls shoe distribution. We saw a country in chaos, orphans in need, and people who seemed hopeless. The one thing that gave me peace was the overwhelming feeling of love. I was surrounded by a team of people that wanted to give a week of their life away to those who are less fortunate, whether that be financially, relationally, etc, they came to assist strangers in need.

That is the hope I needed. There are people in this broken world that still care about others. There are still people who are inspired by Christ. I needed to be taken away from the superficial-ness of my surroundings to catch just a blink of time that was holy.
