God's Plan In Action!

So to make a long story short, I found out some information on my ex-boyfriend. This unfortunately, isn't any ex, he was the ex! He's the guy who has totally ruined me towards guys. We dated when I was a senior in high school. He gave me a promise ring (which I still have to this day), I had ever intention of marrying him right after graduation, he broke my heart, and I never quite got over him.

The information is this -- He got married about 3-4 years ago and got divorced. He has in the past year remarried and is expecting his first child. He is an assistant youth pastor at some charismatic church in Georgia. He's 23 years old and already working on his second marriage. I'm 23 and haven't even started on my second boyfriend since him! I can't imagine being at that place in my life.

Even though he was my first love and I'll always have a connection to him, I feel really relieved. I would have been his ex-wife if we had stayed together. After all the nights I spent crying and wondering what happened, it all makes sense. God had a completely different plan for my life. I'm not sure why I deserve better, but I'm so thankful that God wanted that for me.

You do deserve better. Divorce is crazy painful no matter if it is a relief or not. You just hang tight for the right one.

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...
