Flying Out

So It's 1:06 am and I can't sleep. There is no way I am going to get some shut eye before I leave the house, which is around 3:30am.

Today was awful!
To make a long story short, I wasn't actually prepared with all the immunizations I needed to be able to go to Honduras. My doctor misunderstood the dates or SOMETHING and wasn't right when she checked my list of shots I needed to get. Luckily, I was able to get the vaccinations on time thanks to the awesome help of my mom -- she begged and pleaded with ECMC for me to get an appointment so that I could go! There was a good amount of time that I didn't think I was going (the day of). What an awful feeling!!!

Anyways, God is good.

I'm just trying to figure out if there is anything else I am forgetting to bring with me. I know I'll forget something, it's just in my nature.

Kerry left for Bolivia today around 12? Hopefully her visa went through alright...

My girl America is just a youth in this world
Her smile is more precious than the sparkle of pearls
And though her age reads she's just a young girl
The age behind her eyes show the pain that she's swirled
Through the hand that's been dealt though it's quiet as kept
The weight that she felt last night when she slept
And as she crept into the dreams of the things of her past
Seems to have grown so fast, way beyond her own class
Though they're right there with her, her brothers and her sisters
A natural born leader even when her peers dis her
My girl, she's at a crossroads, people praying for her
Some are preying on her magazine ads, sex, drama
Smoking marijuana, longer for a father to call her, 'daughter'
She's part of a generation longing for reconciliation
And this future that they're facing and this poison that they're tasting
My girl, I know this love you're chasing

My girl America's crying when she's lying on her bed at night
I can see that she's screaming when she's dreaming for her freedom
My girl America's dying while she's trying just to stop this fight
Don't stop believing, my girl America
