So I have just wrapped up my second project at the orphanage in the Sacred Valley, which is just outside of Cusco. I have been had an incredible experience thus far, and God continually teaches me new lessons day in and day out, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse in terms of where I need to self-reflect and self-improve in terms of relationship.
I am turning the big twenty-seven this year, and this may be the first time I have never had a home spectacular celebration in acknowledgement of. I am not specifically sure why, but I really don’t care either. This summer has been so amazing I feel like I have celebrated five or six birthdays with the blessings, thoughts, and memories God has blessed me with in my time here in South America.
I made some new friends at the orphanage, and they are hanging out with me in Cusco before I fly to La Paz, Bolivia tomorrow. I was supposed to work one on one with the founder of Creative Corners, Monique Julian. She has practically organized every part of my trip except for my side trips to Argentina. Her father somehow contracted what I would believe to be the equivalent of a staph infection in the leg. Apparently, it was and continues to be a very serious medical condition, but the doctors were able to resolve the situation before anything worse may have happened. I have been praying for her, and if you read this message, perhaps throw one up for her. I will be in Bolivia for about ten days but without the blessing of Monique’s presence. So the project I will be working on will probably be a little bit different than what I originally planned and expected. Nevertheless, I expect God to continue doing great things in my life and the work I am gifted to do here.

I personally love to write. I express feelings of frustration, joy, humility, inspiration, and whatever else happens to be on my mind at any particular moment. With an unscripted personality comes unscripted thoughts that are random and perhaps sometimes ridiculous, but if you take a few minutes to read, I think you will not only come to better understand me. You will better understand my perspective with what I write.
About Me
- James L. Cartee iii
- I am one of the most random people you may ever meet. I do my best to enjoy life in general, and I try to be content with what God has blessed me to have in my life. I am a blunt, honest individual that will give you an honest opinion if asked. Relationships are the most important things in my life. I am concerned with only the opinions of close friends, family, and other close relations of people who care about me. Otherwise, I tend to not care what other people think of me. I am not here to please the world. I am on this planet to serve others in hopes that God finds favor with my efforts to do so at the end of my Earthly existence. I am a good-natured person that lives for the moment. Even though not always successful, I try to look at things in a positive light with a productive attitude and world view. I am thankful for each breath that I take because each breath that is taken is a blessing in of itself. Make the most of what you can while you can. You get one chance at this thing called life. So try your best to Glorify God and Enjoy Him Forever. If you have any questions about me or my BLOG, don't hesitate to ask, and I will give you a straightforward answer.
