When Life Gives You Lemon, Make Lemonade!

I think this was probable the hardest post that I've had to do. I've been mulling over what to say about this situation. The fact of the matter is that it can't be put into word what I was feeling this past week. I can now say that I have learned a little bit about myself. I have a hard time making clear and concise decisions. I had planned to go back to the states to be in one of my best friends wedding. Unfortunately I was unable to make it due to extenuating circumstances. I was so focused on not being able to go that I was missing out on what was happening here in South Asia. This weekend I was truly humbled by seeing the situations of others. I'm truly blessed! Seeing some of the living conditions and hearing some of the stories of people made me cringe. I know that I'm here to be a light and to share their stories with the world. Even though the wedding was a once in a lifetime moment, (hopefully so) I have an understanding friend who didn't hold it against me. I got a message from my sister and she said to seek help from my Father. He's been the only constant and only being of reliance. I guess when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. My Father has made that clear as day and this will be the last time I'll whine and complain about miss chances. We only have one life to make an impact and I'm here for a reason. My Father helped cleanse the mud that was on my eyes to see what was in front of me. Everyone complains about the sour taste of lemons, but the without lemons, the lemonade is just sugar water! We need to embrace the good and the bad, since it will only make the good that much better. Thanks Dad for showing me that during a tough time!

I was really bored on Saturday so I made this quick video for my friends... and don't judge me...
