Short and not so sweet...

I'm getting really irritated by the people that are anti-invisible children just so they can be different. They are comparing joseph Kony and his armies to bloods and crips gangs in America...the bloods and crips are not abducting 6 year old boys and girls out of their beds at night and forcing them to murder their parents or making them into sex slaves...people are saying most of the money raised goes towards filmmaking and advertisements and not toward the children...they don't understand that Kony2012 is about the advertisement. It is to make people know what is going on. I'm infuriated by people acting like this is no big deal! I'll have more to add later but people need to know who this monster is. The point of the film is to get our governments attention, it isn't so that each of us can have the funds to go to Uganda and find Kony ourselves, it is so our government will see that this is Important to the American people so the government won't pull the troops that we have helping in Uganda!!

    I don't think the people who are posting the other articles are embarrassing themselves, just trying to be different, or "anti-Invisible Children." I think it's ok to share as much information as possible.

    So many people are re-posting or retweeting just because it's COOL right now, and yes maybe that gets people's attention, but maybe they also don't know exactly what they're supporting.

    If you read both sides and still want to support, that's awesome! If you don't, that is ok too. Neither side should be mad about it, unless they are spreading blatant lies (which I have no seen...yet).

    Just my $0.02. :)
    (Also, I have not shared articles/videos for either side of the issue on any social network, I have just been reading and observing everyone!)

Let it Go

    Losing Could be #Winning        "Let it Go"     Well, I feel lame. I think i killed my chances at Texas Children's, Honestly the hospital was so big that i was kind of intimidated. maybe i let my fear show, maybe i don't get the Job because i was too nervous, or because i talked too much, or maybe God surprises me and i get it regardless of how nervous i was, because HE is strong enough to do that. if i don't get it honestly I'm okay with it. I just want something. at this point I'm applying for jobs in New York. Places i have never even been on vacation i am trying to work at and live for who knows how long. It is scary but also really exciting.       I am excited to see what God does with all of this... I am depending on Him alone for a Job because i know that no one is going to look at me, just barely out of internship, and say "yep she is the most qualified her for sure." no ha it will be more like, "uh..she has no expe...

What happened? You Good?

It has been months since I last blogged and SO much has happened. Lets just dive in and see what happens… So hop on the plane and hold on tight because there is a lot to discuss. Im going to start on kind of a weird note because that way I figure ill end on a happy note rather than a bitter one. So an ex of mine recently entered into a new relationship. I never talk to him and don't follow him on any social media so how did I find out? I wandered over to his IG and he has done nothing lately other than post pictures of her with #WCW...so why do I care? I know he is the kind of guy who could be eternally single and be happy, and that is a big part of why he and I would have never worked out. So why do I care? Do I still want him? No. I don't. But I realized today that while I don't want my exes to want me, I don't want them to be in relationships/get engaged before I do. I am perfectly content living single and over the summer I had gotten to a place where I was ha...

Different life

Here I am in Vegas. Things are so different here. I'm so grateful to have a career but at the same time I'm so far from everyone I love. That makes things so difficult. I'm trying so hard to meet people and build a community here in Vegas. But it is hard when the life I have been called to live looks so different from the lives of so many here. I'm looking for relationships that will point me to the throne of God. That is something I have taken for granted for the last 25 years. Everyone I have been close  friends with loved Jesus too and that is what brought us close. It is hard to build close relationships with people who don't share the love of God that is so important to me. But now I go to sleep. Work comes early in the morning.  Love you all.  Linds
