Here's the truth. Straight from my heart, and I may regret spilling it all out on the blogosphere tomorrow, but tonight it's driving me crazy. When it comes to relationships, good things don't happen to me. I have hilarious, one-of-a-kind stories about all the bad things that can happen. I can tell you of stalkers from every walk of life. I can tell you about Gerber daises and tulips being delivered from unwanted suitors. I can tell you about random conversations that would make you die from laughter. I can make you gag from the thought of certain guys throwing me a line. That's my life. For the past 6-7 years, my life has been unstable in the relationship category. The only thing I knew for a fact was there was no certainty. Each time I found myself possibly interested, it didn't work out. Sometimes I figured that out quickly, and other times it took me years of hanging on to much of nothing. I've come to accept it. I walked away from trying to f...

I apologize for the lack of posts. I was out of town visiting friends and didn't have time to write anything. I'm leaving later today or Monday morning for a few days on the beach, so this week will be slim with stories as well. I am sorry. But...I have a great excuse! I met the cutest, most wonderful guy in the whole entire world a few days ago. It was like a movie or country song the way it all happened. I'm not exactly sure what's going to become of it. I'm trying my hardest to stay grounded and not just float all the way to cloud 9. Pray I won't become a total sap!

Tonight was the beginning of an extremely awesome combination of churches that I believe is going to rock the youth of the Delta! My church, along with 3-4 other churches, met up and had a huge youth service. Our youth band did the worship service and it was so great to help lead all the youth there in worship to our King. I know many hearts were moved and lives were changed. Friday night we are meeting at another church for another youth service. I can't wait to see how God moves again! It doesn't matter what our theological difference is. We are able to come together as ONE CHURCH and do what we were meant to do, worship God and share the gospel of Jesus! That's what it's all about!

Where did the church (as a whole) go wrong? When did we start to think that God blesses us to store it all up? Why did we think it is ok to hold on to what God gave us? Why aren't we giving out of our abundance ? Why aren't we helping the unfortunate at every turn? Instead we are praying "God bless me. God send this to me. God I need." Then when He provides we hold on to it for dear life as if He is not the owner of the cattle on a thousand hills, as if He doesn't have more where that came from. I've found that God is big enough to supply us with lots. Then when we've given to everyone we can find, we still have tons left over. I've found that God can take 2 fishes and 5 loaves of bread and feed 5000 with plenty to spare. Why does the church think they are the final say on salvation? When did we think we could take salvation into our own hands? Why do we think that works save us. Why do we try to put God in a formula. Why do we lay out certain standa...

Kim's Korner - What is Love - Kindness

I've been doing a little proof-reading and editing for a friend of mine. He's written 2 books already, so I'm helping him out on a short story western that he wrote. He also is writing a story about a funeral in which every character gives a eulogy...kinda like The Canterbury Tales. While trying to come up with some more ideas for his book, I contemplated a whole new story. I've been writing bits and pieces here and there. I always wanted to write a book, so I may have parts of my first novel!? Tomorrow Boys II Men are going to be in concert here! I'm so stoked! I should have scored some free tickets, so I'll let ya know how it goes. I passed by a house for sale the other day. It was so cute and cozy and complete with a red door! Take a look!

My dad sent me this comic today. He said it reminded him of me. Hope my Expiration date is a little longer away otherwise I may be in trouble!

Today I had a huge ego boost. I had an all too brief encounter with someone today who afterwards had very nice things to say about me. It was said that I was "beautiful, talented, and way out of his league." I don't know if anyone has ever said that about me, and it made me feel very honored and girly . (I'm sure I'm not way out of his league though.) This guy also went on to say that when he is ready to settle down and have a serious relationship, he wanted a woman who wanted to be pursued and who doesn't need him for her own identity. He felt like I was the type of girl he would be interested in. He also added that the act of developing a relationship was lost on our generation. I was sure this type of guy was extinct. I thought maybe he was a myth like Santa Claus or the talking M&M guys, but I did shake hands this morning with a real live one! (I must interject also ladies that the guy was attractive, working on his master's, and loved the...

I don't want to discuss it because I'm tired of discussing it. I don't want to be bothered by the fact that he called me. He hasn't bothered to call in well over a week. It's only because he saw me. I want him to think about me with out having to see me. I don't want him to call and complain to me about his bad luck with the boss after he's already called and complained to other people. I want him to come to me first or not at all. But I can't be selfish and rude to someone who hasn't really been rude to me. So he can't give me what I want. That doesn't mean he's not trying to be the best he can. It's just not enough for me, but that doesn't make him a bad person. I want to be humble enough to be excited for his triumphs and pray for God's will in his life, even if it clashes with my personal plans. In my defense, I told him a while back I was looking for something more than "just hanging out." I'm sure he doesn...

This is my not so attainable but not too unrealistic wish list . A new iPhone to relpace my old one with the broken screen. I've got to come up with $200 first. A better complexion. My face has been breaking out lately despite my daily proactive cleansing routine. A house with a red door. There is just something super cool about a red door on a house. One day when I get my own home, the first thing I'm going to do is paint the front door red. I want to be able to still live on my own yet have money to travel like I once did. I want to be able to look at a guy who is interested in me and not have a thousand reasons why I can't reciprocate the feeling. I want to feel butterflies and know that he feels them too. I want to be nausteatingly mushy with my guy in public just long enough to pay back those other mushy couples that make me vomit in my mouth. But not to be all needy. Here's a list of things I already have and am thankful for. I have an iPhone with a smashed ...
