Blessed
I’ve been through a number of obstacles in my life, and haven’t really realized till now how far I’ve come through all of them. I’m living 5,225 miles away from home, and am semi-supporting myself. I can easily say I’m happy with where I am in my life right now. There’s many things I can still complain about and aren’t very happy with either, but I’m not focusing on that. Like the saying goes: “Count your blessings, not your problems.” It’s true. I’m going back home in roughly four months. Back to friends, family, home, HI. I’ve changed a little. I’ve grown up. I’ve learned to take more initiative. I’ve learned to take criticism more harshly.

Values
“Tonight was so much fun.” Really… so drinking/getting drunk/playing monopoly/acting stupid is fun to you? I think it makes you look like a fool. If you need to take a substance or something in order to have fun, then you really don’t know the meaning of it because you don’t really know what you’re doing. I’m finding it more difficult to live away from friends who have the same morals and values as me, but I know that this is an experience. I’ll learn from it. And if I can still say no, not participate in things, and not give in to peer pressure, I think I’m okay.
Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
