What's So Hard To Understand??

First, I have to say that spiritual things are getting better and better every day! But this post is not about spiritual things....

I met a guy, Kountry Boy, who is sweeter than sweet tea but countrier than corn bread. He's very good looking, makes good money, has a good family, and loves Jesus. But he's countrier than corn bread. He's called a few times, invited me down to a conference, even offered to drive to Greenville and bring me down there. But he is countrier than corn bread.

There is nothing wrong with being country. I love to ride horses and go muddawgin' with 4-wheelers. However, there is a cultured side of me that likes to travel to London and discuss politics. There is a side of me that firmly believes that a truck CAN be TOO big!

Does this make me a bad person? NO. Does this make someone different than me a bad person? NO. Does it mean I should suck it up and date this person regardless? NO!

Why should I settle for less than I want just because he's a nice guy? Why is it that other people are not ok with my singleness although I am? Why are people intimidated with the fact that I'm ok with not having a boyfriend or being married right now? I realize that people want to see me happy and "taken care of." But why can't people see that I am TRULY happy and single at the same time.

In the words of Natasha Bedingfield,
"I'm not saying I don't wanna fall in love 'cos I would
I'm not gonna get hooked up just 'cos you say I should "

I dated a guy that I loved. He was my "perfect guy" but it didn't work out. Now a few years later, my idea of a "perfect guy" have changed in many aspects. However I know that I still want the same feeling of butterflies and fireworks that I had way back when. If I've had it before, why should I settle for less than that. I could be married, but I could also be unhappy. I choose to be single, and I'm choosing to be happy.

What about that is so hard to understand??

You put into such good words the same conflicting feelings I have about the opposite gender. Everything you say, I couldn't have said it better myself. So . . . just thought I'd like you know I feel ya girl :)

Sounds like the South is getting to you. You need to visit the West where we don't marry until age 30! ;)

Yes he talks just like that Wendei! "Awe Shuckins!" He says that all the time!

Anywaz, the South does have it's hang ups at times, and this is one of them. Add being Pentecostal to it, and it gets 100 times worse!

I really think that married people believe there is a store that you just pop into and get a boyfriend/girlfriend. It's as if they forget everything they went through when they were dating! UGH!

The Shallow Side of the Blog

I pride myself in being balanced. I'm not too liberal or too conservative. I'm not too girly nor too much of a tomboy...etc. Well today I'm throwing my balance to the wind and I'm going to be shallow. I went to the mall in search for a jersey for a friend. Well why I was there, I had to stop by a few stores and check out the clothes. I found not one, not two, but three new skirts. What's even great is that 2 of them are blue jean, and for all of you apostolic girls out there...you know how hard it is to find a good blue jean skirt. One even came with this really trendy scarf belt. I'm very excited about it! I've never noticed how much clothes I actually have. Some of the students have made the comment that I have not worn the same outfit since school started on January 3rd. What's sad, or good, is that they're right. I may have worn a skirt twice, but it was always with a different top. Somehow I still look at my closet and say, "I have nothing ...

American Idol? I think NOT!

Let it be said, American Idol is rigged! I've always thought this, but I know for sure this season, it's true! First, have you ever noticed that they pick certain people to do "stories" about. Somehow 99% of those people end up making it to the top 12. Amazing they have such an accurate record, considering that the shows choosing the top 12 is not pre-recorded? Hmmm?? Have the producers already decided who they want to be the top 12? Secondly, the whole Chris exit . Please, everyone in America wanted Chris to win. Everyone knew Chris was going to win. Personally I think there was some talking going on with him and the producers, he got a good offer and asked to be kicked. I have no proof of that, but it sounds good. I mean, come on, everyone knew Chris was going to win. This week, it was down to Taylor, Katherine, and Elliott. On Wednesday's episode of Good Morning America, they showed footage of both Taylor and Katherine, but didn't of Elliott. Did they kn...
