Avoiding the Serious

I've got a few serious things going on in my head right now. However, to sit down and write about them would cause me to actually give thought to them. I'm avoiding thought on them at the moment, so therefore, I can't write about them. So please forgive me as I avoid the serious and blog about something fun....

We got a new coffee shop in town! This is huge news considering that the only coffee shop we had in G'ville before this past weekend was the coffee maker at the local Conoco gas station! Woo Hoo!! The Delta Grind, the new coffee hangout, is the best thing that's happened to me recently! I went tonight with some friends and had a good time just chillin' drinking my "Heath Bar Heaven" drink and eating a piece of caramel cheesecake and Tuxedo Brownie. This place only has the potential to get better! I'm very excited! And if it doesn't work out as a coffee shop, with it's name, it could also become a sex shop!?!

I went to Hot Springs for the weekend. I took my summer surrogate parents and another friend to the Razorback vs. Bulldogs game. It was horrid. MSU lost 44 to 10! However, as I have concluded, one is not a MSU fan because one likes to win. No, you are an MSU fan because you like football! So I had a good time. It was great to see all my friends there again. I also got to stop by Little Rock and visit some friends there too. That trip included an early breakfast at Waffle House. By early, I mean 1:00 am early. I also went horseback riding with Josh and Matt. Josh and I had to ride together for lack of time and available horses. What's interesting is that our horse was pregnant and had a bad case of the squirts! Fun memories!!

I have this whole week off for Thanksgiving! I'm not going to know how to act when next Monday arrives. But for now, I'm enjoying shopping, staying up late, and catching up on movies and TV shows! Saturday the family is going to the MSU vs. Ole Miss game. Maybe we might actually win this one...but somehow, I doubt it!

I haven't bought a single Christmas present yet. Thankfully, I should only have 3.5 gifts to get this year. One for mom, dad, and my brother. Then 1/2 for my mawmaw; my brother and I always go in together for my mawmaw's gift. Seeing as that I haven't had a paying job this semester, I most likely won't be getting anyone else presents. Volunteering...It just doesn't pay! Thankfully, I have no significant other to buy presents for either. So maybe this single thing is working out for me after all!

Possibly tomorrow I'll feel like blogging something serious...until then...enjoy your holiday!

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
