My Lists

In light of last nights utter FAIL of a Sole Sister party - nobody showed up - yeah. We like to roll like that - I have thought about my first blog post and looked at how different my posts are now (and not in a good way) and I thought I'd make some lists. 

Things I've Lost

• My self confidence
• Sleep
• A happy continence
• Belief in mankind (pathetic but so true. Sorry to be a downer but people suck)

Things I've Gained

• Respect for non profits who are profitable
• Reverent respect for individuals who have been doing this all their lives (like Bobby and Sherry)
• Realizing that it takes more than a desire to make a difference - it takes people willing to give, it takes having a platform
• The realization that I don't want to do this after Haiti
• Weight (ha! just kidding)
• I've met some incredible Haitian men who have a heart to help their people and families
• I've met some great missionaries who work hard every day and gain nothing for it. 
• My families backing in what we are trying to accomplish - even monetarily, which means a lot b.c my family doesn't have a lot to give yet they believe in me.
