To quote my own mother, "Company is like fish. It stinks after three days." After extended visits from family members throughout my childhood, I understood the meaning behind it. People get tired of each other! Living with a group of three other guys has presented challenges too. "Someone do the dishes!" I think we have discussed dishes in the apartment more than we have anything else. Tension eventually rose and I can speak for myself by saying I was being kind of a jerk. A few days ago, it dawned on me the insignificance of the arguments in comparison to the experiences this trip has to offer me. I needed to let go of my frustration and move on. Without going in depth, we had a great conversation that has brought resolve to the apartment and made it a place of positive energy. I realized just how easy it can be to get caught up in a minor frustration in life that costs you the opportunity of experiencing blessings. I am so grateful to God for speaking to me through this. I've already grown so much and I know the journey has barely begun. Ciao!
