Randomness

I had a really insightful post last night while lying in my bed. I forgot it this morning after I woke up. Guess it wasn't too insightful.
******************
I went to Wal-mart early this morning to get the new Rascal Flatts CD that came out today. I realize that it was 7:00 in the morning, but they only had 1 register open. Of course there weren't thousands of people in there, but they could open up more than one check out line! I'll never understand wal-mart.
******************
I just remembered what I was going to blog about. It was actually really insightful, at least on my part. However, it's too much to add in this random post, so you'll have to check it out later.

Easter is on it's way. That means a whole lot of hoop-la to celebrate a day that changes it's location on the calendar every year. I understand what Easter stands for and all. It just seems like we go WAY out of our way to push this service, get new outfits, and fix big dinners just for one day. Everyone gets all stressed out at Choir/drama practice to get everything just right. The truth of the matter is, you shouldn't have waited 2 weeks before Easter to try to learn 100 new songs! As a result, everyone has a bad attitude, people threaten to drop out, and you end up forgetting what Easter is all about. I guess it's a lot like Christmas. I wonder how God feels about all that??
******************
Speaking of Easter, my Asst. Pastor asked the drama dept. to work something up to a song called My Jesus by Todd Agnew. As I am in charge of the drama at my church (yes, a pun was intended), it is my job to start the ball rolling on this project. If anyone has heard this song, you will know that it has a great message, but it's extremely heavy and not the easiest thing to create "drama" for. However, with the help of a wonderful dramatist Terry Vik, I was able to get some ideas that will hopefully pull it off.
******************
As I was checking out the Todd Agnew sight to make sure I had the right link, I saw that Todd Agnew is going to be in concert about 25 miles away from my town on Thursday night. He'll be performing at a community college that I use to attend. I might just go.

I don't know what I'm going to do this August. I haven't had an offer for a teaching position yet, and I'm not staying here in the Career Center. My job isn't horrible, it's just that I'm getting paid less than half of what I could be making as a teacher, and I'm bored 90% of the time. I'm going to try and talk with the Superintendent. Remind him that I'm only here waiting on that teaching position he said he'd have. We'll see how it goes. It's something I'm not too worried about.

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
