Summer Sixteen It Has Been Real

WELL THAT IS A WRAP! Summer 16 was by far my best summer yet. I am so thankful to God for all the memories I was able to make and all the experiences I got to take part in. Although summer is ending I am ready and look forward to start a my final year of high school. Usual ending summer I feel so sad but I did so much this summer my bucket is full and I feel complete ;) I now await the adventures of this grade 12 year. Being the cheesy person I like to make recap lists... So here is my 2016 summer highlights list

2) meeting so many new people and creating new friendships
3) Learning so much and having a new perspective to look at life through

23) Labour day party
24) All the laughs with the campbells
25) Peeing in a hole on the equator
26) Getting clarity for the future
27) Learning to live in the moment
28) Boat rides that turn into splash battles
29) Laugh attacks when the campers were sleeping
30) fellowship with other young women of christ
31) Grandpa stuckes dinners!
32) Dying my hair blonde
33) Life chats around the campfire under the stars
34) Growing in my walk with God

This summer was truly a dream wouldn't of want it to have gone any other way everything was perfect. My mental scrapbook has captured so many memories that I will hold onto forever. There were many moments that I would love to go back and relive they were that wonderful. Although I would for sure jump on a plane right now if someone offered me a ticket to Kenya... I look forward to what God has in store for me this year. I see September as a fresh start and I hope to have the discipline to not waste away the time and to make room for the things I enjoy.

And one thing I know I enjoy is blogging so stick with me for blogs on how I face my last year of high school and how my main goal is focusing on my vertical relationship with God and self love. Time for me to buckle up because I know I got a roller coaster of a time ahead of me.

Good night my dear friends may Gods blessing me upon all of you and that you have very very sweet dreams and that you kick this school years but!

I'll Cya

Fadhili Trust

Image
This week we have been spending our time at this organization called Fadhili Trust. This is an amazing organization which helps local communities and people who are in tough situations. They help people through village savings and loan associations ( type of micro-finance). They do this to help people create business and increase income. Our first day with them we had an introduction of the organization and then we visited a small private school. The visit was super fun because they stopped all the classes to meet us. Everyone was so welcoming and we were given the honour to talk with the students in their classes which was really cool because they had so many good questions about Canada.  After the school visit we went and had 2 home visits of 2 of the  beneficiaries of  Fadhili. The stories of the people we have met have been very emotional. The one lady we met lives by herself because Fadhili is supporting her kids to go to boarding school which takes a burden off her ...

Off To The Airport

I cannot believe the trip is over... It went by so fast, yesterday literally feels like we just arrived in Kenya. But I guess time flies when you are having fun. Today is a very emotional day because I do not want to go home and have to say good by to Kenya :( Words cannot describe how much this trip has met to me it is by far the best experience of my life so far. I am so grateful to God to have been able to go on this trip and for my parents allowing me to go, it has been such an amazing time.  I am going home having learned so much and coming back with a new lens to look at life through.  I am going to miss all the people I met and all the memories I made, my mental scrapbook is very full of memories and my heart is filled with many new special relationships.  This trip has been my breath of fresh air after a very tough year. I struggled with a lot this year and everyday felt challenging so to come to Kenya and to feel so much positive energy from the culture and peopl...

Back At It

My goodness it has been awhile... I have not done a blog post since October... But my life has not been that exciting to write more blog posts lol. Anyways I am back and I hope to blog more! I want to strengthen my writing and express it on this blog.  I want to write about things going on in my life, adventures I go on, lists, future goals, advice and most importantly poetry. First I want to use this blog as a way to publish my poetry. Over the past few months I have been in a class called writers craft and it is given me the opportunity to write in many different styles and from this class I fell in love with poetry. Poetry is such beautiful way to express and to share how you feel. Poetry is an escape, a way to put words to feelings, a beautiful portrait of art. Poetry is a lifeline to me now and I cannot wait to show it here.  Although it will be nerve wracking to put my thoughts out in the open to others... art is art and it cannot be judged. Secondly: It's the s...
