Mumbo-Jumbo

I think it's funny that right when I am about to shut down for the evening and get some shut eye a burst of thoughts come flooding into my head and are busting at the seams to get out and explore my empty blog pages. This is draft two I have talked with a couple people about how most of my posts come with days or weeks in between debut I spit the words out and then days later go back and piece it all together && while I wonder if anyone is truly reading and keeping tabs on my latest mumbo-jumbo I look at my blog stats and overwhelming become surprised and blessed to see all the readership that is out there. So with that, thank you readers! Because of you and your eyes that read I will continue to write. Not to mention some really nice texts that give me that extra boost that lets me know someone is reading --- talk about refreshing!

Life is full of changes lately, mostly meaning I moved into a new room and let me tell you it feels like I own a house of something, I have been scrubbing walls, showers, sinks, and sorting through mounds of clothes and figuring out how to arrange my room to fit a new roommate in a month --- no big deal. But I'm liking my new 'home.' Aside from moving I have still and yes STILL dealing with transitional issues from the aftermath of traveling and fingers crossed my doc has it all figured out and on the correct medicine now!! My goodness, its been interesting I guess Africa hasn't wanted to leave me yet ha-ha.

Upon moving, unpacking, organizing, etc I found my journals and notebook from my travels. I read them.

June 13. Last handwritten journal.

I am so thankful that I took the time to blog. Because after my journal ended I read my past blog posts. And in preparation for my presentation at the end of August for a woman's group I am becoming inspired! I am so thankful that I blogged to share my experiences but more importantly I am thankful that I wrote it all down in my personal journals and within those pages holds raw all over the place emotion and it has the power to bring me right back to those days. In reading through those pages and through the several blog posts --- I get this feeling of being stuck.

I think about rejuvenated and refreshed and hopeful I came back feeling however now I'm sitting in my 'new' room with all the same things I had before I left except a stack of beautiful photos and devotionals and a slew of e-mails to friends I have made in Senegal. However, what have I done to get myself back there or what I have I done to make this coming school year for the schools I worked in, let me tell you. Not.a.damn.thing. 

And guess what that bothers me. I do not want to be stuck. I do not want to get caught up in the same routines, the same group of draining people, and goodness gracious I want to make a change. Not only for my own well-being for the well-beings of so many people around me locally and also abroad.

With that being said I have ideas --- yep lots of them. They are brewing, stirring, churning in my noggin and I think now that I have faced the music it is time to start making thoughts into actions. And I leave this post with a wonderful song that motivates me cause it speaks to so many things. Happy Tuesday, keep reading I'll start posting more - stay posted to more changes!
