Take A Minute...

Today, I am reminded how small I am compared to God. And how amazing He truly is. I find that I take for granted, and don't think about, or thank God enough for how incredible He is. I am so small and insignificant to Him. I can't even think about comparing myself to Him. Because words can't describe it. For me, it's the mountains and the stars that constantly remind me of God's greatness.
Take a minute to go outside, sit on the patio, lay on your bed, go wherever you need to go, and remember how amazing God is; thank Him for it, thank Him for loving you even though you are so small compared to the vast world.

Only In Mexico

As I adapt more and more to the culture and the way of life in Mexico, some things that were once really weird when I came here, seem normal now. But every once in a while I see something and I think 'only in Mexico...'
Okay, so maybe some of these things happen in other countries too...but they're still funny and not usually known as "normal"

ONLY IN MEXICO...

• do you stop at an intersection, you look to your right, a car is approaching, you look to the left, cow in the street.
• can four people ride on a one person moped. mother, father, and two kids. and it's probably their only "car".
• can you be sitting on the couch, doing absolutely nothing, and be sompletely drenched in sweat. at 10am.
• everything shuts down from 2-4. so people can go home to take a shower, and eat.
• almost every candy has chili powder in it.
• do you go to a mexican restaurant and they don't serve you chips and salsa as you look over the menu.
• does a six year old know how to play better soccer than me.
• staring at people isn't rude.
• there's "tiendas" (little stores) every few houses.
• do you wake up at 9 am on Saturday mornings by someone driving down the road with a loud speaker on the roof of their car selling cucumbers for 10 pesos a kilo.
• do they think that if you have a cold, or a cough, and you drink or eat anything cold, you'll get even more sick.

Well, that's the beginning of the list anyways...
