To procrastinate or not to procrastinate, that is the question.

Well I'm back from my quick trip to my Cousin's graduation. Just a tip, if at all possible, never take your grandmother on a 9 hour road trip! I love her to death, but God bless her heart, she can get annoying rather quickly! Anyways...to my thought...

Here's a reason to procrastinate.

I'm normally a procrastinator, especially when it comes to school work. Well last Monday, I decided to go ahead and get something done. Unfortunately, I did it a day too soon. I needed a book for school that I have to read and right a book review on. I called the library, but they didn't have the book. However, they were going to check with other libraries and see if they could get it for me. Well I waited about a week, and Monday, I decided I had to go ahead and get that book. So I called the library back and asked if they were able to get it. The lady politely told me that if I had not been called or received a piece of paper in the mail, then they had not heard back about the book. Well I had not been called or received any mail. So I thought to myself, they aren't going to be able to get this book. So I went ahead and ordered the book online. Tuesday afternoon the library called, and they found a copy of the book I needed, and it was ready to be picked up at the library. So I got online to try and cancel my order. To my dismay, the book had already been shipped and they couldn't cancel it. However, I can feel free to return my order. I will only be reimbursed the cost of the book minus the original shipping and return shipping. The book's cost was only $3.00. I would be out money just paying the original and return shipping. So it looks like I'm stuck with the book after all!

I should have stuck with my normal procrastinating attitude and put off til tomorrow. I would be $8.00 richer!

The Hurt and The Healer...Collide!

So the other day I simply prayed "God, if you aren't going to restore this relationship, help me move on.  I'm ready to be through with this."  A few hours later I had an email from him saying "I'm moving on.  If you want to discuss this, we can, but after that I can't speak to you anymore.  I need to make some decisions with a clear conscious."  And that was it.  Couldn't get more final than that!  Maybe if the email had come a few days or a week later.  But no, there was no mistaking this answer from God.  "You asked for it...poof!"  And there it was...the answer to what I had been praying for since September.  I'm not sure what made me pray that prayer that way on that day.  I'm not sure what made God answer the prayer with an email that quickly.  But whatever the reason, there was no denying that it was God. And of course, it wasn't the answer I wanted.  It was infuriating.  Why now God?  Why answer this prayer now?

The Next Chapter

My pastor decided to resign this morning. Instead of forcing anyone to vote yes or no against the ministry, he resigned. Those of us in support of his ministry left the Greenville United Pentecostal Church and are starting a new work, Grace Apostolic Fellowship. Our first service this morning was held at a local funeral home. After all the jokes about raising the dead, etc, we ended up having a great service with 97 people in attendance. We are believing God for a permanent home in the next 30 days. I am sad to leave UPC. That church was a haven to me during a hard time in my life. I wouldn't be the person I am today without many of the people there. Numerous people invested in me, and I am grateful. I will never forget the love, friendships, and lessons I learned while a member there. I will not belittle my past with bitterness and act as if it means nothing to me. There will always be fond memories. My leadership began at that church, and I do not take it for granted. There are

No Greater Love

There is a biological clock that ticks.  Sometimes it's so faint, I don't even hear it.  Other times, its tick-tock is more like a sonic boom in my ears, reminding me that my "best years" are quickly slipping by. There have been times where I thought the clock's ticking was meaningless because my life was headed in the right direction.  The good guy in my life would lead to a proposal, house, family...to taking my rightful place in society.  Or, I was applying for jobs in big cities where I could live the single life seen in the movies...just fun and friends! With the guys never seeming to pan out, I figured it was time to spread my wings and fly.  To become Miss Independent, far away from the small country life I have lived for so long.  And many, many people encouraged it.  There is no future here in Greenville, no real single friends my age, no possibilities for someone like me.  Then there were those that questioned, what are you going to do about "so
