Posted on Sunday, June 26 th, 2011 at 7:15 pm by Christin WalkerUpdate: Back to life, back to reality.
It seems as though life has been a whirlwind since I’ve set foot back in the ol’ US of A. I had a pretty bad case of reverse culture shock upon my return, and caught myself crying for about 2 weeks straight for no reason at all. I also found myself slipping in to the grandma routine of watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, and then finishing out each night with a good dose of NBA playoff games until 1 a.m. The disillusionment of my homecoming was hard to come to terms with…I ...

Lately I’ve just been really searching for peace. I don’t know where it went, when I “lost” it, or why it’s “gone,” but I do know that it has everything to do with my lack of focus. Oh, and the fact that once again…I’ve found comfort and normality, and it’s time to say my goodbyes and move on to the next uncomfortable place. But hey, that’s life for you…it’s just a never-ending process of change and adaptation to chang...

Jehovah Jireh
Wow. Really, as soon as I typed the words “Jehovah Jireh” as the title of this blog, my eyes welled up with tears. I can’t really tell if they’re happy tears or sad tears though. Much like my life, I feel like my emotions are just one big jumbled mess, and I can’t even find the words to describe how I feel. The idea of God being my provider absolutely blows my mind. These tears right now are coming straight from my heart, but I can’t tell whether they are tear...

Ok, so the BFF-Madre told me that my lovely father already knows about all my tattoos, so I’m just gonna throw this blog post out there in hopes that a) she’s not joking, b) he’s forgiven me, and c) Jesus smiles at me on days like today. P.S. Shout out to David & Mollie Wiley…yall are gonna love this one! ;) So, I just got home from my usual massage place. I just love those ladies there. They call me “Teacher” because they know that I work at BCC…I m...

I’ve fallen asleep lately. I’ve just been going through the motions of everyday life, and I feel as though I’ve become numb to everything surrounding me. Perhaps the monotonous tune of the mundane has been lulling me to sleep. It’s like a song stuck on replay, everyday–wake up, work, go home, sleep–of course with an underlying harmony of Skype playing throughout the number. This week, I’ve made a conscious effort to get out of my apartment and actually h...

Thank God it’s a 4-day holiday. Happy Birthday to the Queen of Thailand…thank you for being born so I can get a couple days off of work. You know, I can admit that my students are slowly convincing me to fall in love with them, but I needed a break. Mid-term progress reports just about killed me! I for sure had to write about all 120 of my students and figure out grades and blah blah blah. Honestly, I’d much prefer to be the student TAKING the mid-terms than the teacher GRADING...

Counting Down.
I’ve always been the Queen of Advice. (I’m also the Queen of Modesty if you haven’t noticed, too. Haha.) I’m just saying…I pride myself in what I have so eloquently dubbed “Blackhole time” with my best friends. That’s when whatever is said under the title of “Blackhole time” remains between whoever is there…it’s like a buffet of drama, issues, and verbal vomit with a side of no judgment or gossiping and amazing advice for de...
