Christmas in July

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 up screen, but at least it still works.
  • I do have straight, clean teeth, and makeup to cover the not so hot blemishes.
  • I have a great apartment with my own walk-in closet!
  • I may not have a lot of extra money at the end of the month, but I'm still able to have a little fun, and I'm blessed enough to do a little shopping on occassion.
  • I have friends that listen to all my crazy stories and laugh with me more than at me.
  • I have a wonderful family that goes out of their way to do whatever they can for me, that loves me, and cares for me.
  • I have an awesome, deeper relationship with God than ever before. I realize that He loves me more than I could ever love myself. He thinks I'm to die for!

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?

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

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
