Change is Good...right?

I would consider myself to be very open minded. It's why I can embrace change on most occasions. I'm usually looking for a new/better way to do things. I'm ok with moving things around or switching things up.

There is a lot of changing going on right now, and for the most part I'm ok with it all. Yet somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind or perhaps my soul, I'm a bit nervous about it all. There are some things I'm ready to run with, but there are a few other things that are holding me back. I'm just jogging along with it right now, waiting for the moment to pick up the pace or stop dead in my tracks.

I'm always willing to compromise on most things. Although, there are certain beliefs that I cannot compromise, no matter what results may come from it. I think there is a middle ground that can be reached. We can get results without compromising the very thing we were built on! Can't we??

In other news, tomorrow is my 23rd birthday. What's my present?? Driving to Jackson to hear Matt Maddox preach at Apostolic Conference! What's better than good anointing and some Jesus to wish you Happy Birthday!

Oh Kim! I am right there with you on change! And I had this same conversation a few weeks ago with my best friend. Sometimes I think I am so darn progressive and a moderate fool... but then something just pulls me back. I DON'T WANT TO BE TRADITIONAL just for the sake of being TRADITIONAL...and I think we need to shed some things to move forward... But the wisdom is finding what needs be kept and held sacred and what can be let go of. Let me know if you figure it out, because I need all the help I can get! :)

Well I'm not too sure of the correct balance of progressive thinking and conservative actions quite yet. I'm finding the only solution is to trust in God and allow Him to give you the balance.

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
