Thinking out Loud: June 2012

http://erynnmay.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 12, 2012. Trial and error only works for so long until the relationship is broken. And what if I desire a certain relationship with someone who desires a different relationship with me? I mean, what if my preference is different from theirs? Someone said they need to accept me for who I am and not try to change me. But relationships are about compromise. And if my preference is hindering something, then I need to learn to change. But what if someone always ends everything with '.'? U of M A...

Monday, May 14, 2012. Tolerance vs. Acceptance. I don't want to just be tolerated, I want to be accepted.". There is a program put on by ABC called "What Would You Do? Would you want someone to help you? But then the deeper issues come, with serious self-reflection. If you were at a bakery and the cashier told a Muslim girl wearing a hijab that he was not going to serve her kind, what would you say? Would you say anything? Would you offer to buy for her what she was requesting? Friday, May 04, 2012.

Sunday, September 02, 2012. Providence, Part 4. I am not at that level yet. But that's what orientation and training is for. I chose this unit for the variety of things I can learn while there. I will soon be able to add to my nursing repertoire more than short Arabic phrases related to wanting medication or someone to walk with. Posted by Elina Gondwe @ 10:56 PM. View my complete profile.

Thinking out Loud: February 2012

http://erynnmay.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Love that, though I knew was true, I needed to feel. A lot has happened since then. I got some nursing experience, got a job, got an apartment, got some more nursing experience, made new friends, etc. Obviously, there are more things between there, but here are some lessons God has taught me over the last few months. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.". God left h...

Thinking out Loud: April 2011

http://erynnmay.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 07, 2011. Sunday, August 22, 2010. Here is a journal entry from 6 weeks after I returned:. I guess this trip has changed me. I don’t like life over here. It’s too fast paced. Too many distractions. I told Michelle last night that the experience doesn’t seem real anymore and that it was nice to hear her stories that afternoon during her mission story to her church. She responded with, Really? That seems real to me. This doesn’t seem real. Posted by Elina Gondwe @ 10:34 PM. Wednesday, April...

Thinking out Loud: April 2012

Thursday, April 12, 2012. Someone recently called me 'stoic.' I had to look it up to find the exact definition. Google says, "A person who can endure pain or hardship without showing their feelings or complaining." Dictionary.com, "Of. Necessity." Answers.com, ". One who is seemingly indifferent to or unaffected by joy, grief, pleasure, or pain.". Unaffected by joy and pleasure? My wording, "Do I really look that dead on a normal basis? Why, then, are kids drawn to me? Why do my residents respond to me?

Thursday, June 02, 2011. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength." - Isaiah 40:29. Have you ever felt like a spiritual failure? We have all been there. It's heartbreaking to kneel before God, knowing it's your heart's desire to follow Him yet finding that the opposite continues to happen each day and there doesn't seem to be anything you can do to stop it. Comfort, yes, comfort My people! Says your God. "Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, that her...

Thinking out Loud: March 2012

http://erynnmay.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 27, 2012. But what do I post? What is public enough to share but personal enough that people will want to read? Then there's also finding the time to blog. I just caught up my journal writing from the last 6 weeks. I obviously summarized and skipped things if I wrote about a 6 week time span in one afternoon. So, those of you out there who are actually reading this, what do you want to hear about? Is this where I post my reflection of going north? So was that something worth blogging about?

Monday, March 28, 2011. Monday, July 5, 2010. When we had our debriefing of our experiences in the field, Ana-Maria excitedly told everyone that I had given a Bible study to Michenchi. Everyone was surprised and asked How’d he respond? Just said like matter of factly. I was now surprised, not confused. Ana-Maria said Why do you think I was praying so hard for you? I told her I didn’t know you were praying but thank you! I gave a Bible study on the State of the Dead to a witch doctor! Sunday, July 4, 2010.
