Oh How I've Missed You!

It seems it's been forever since I've posted.  I hope you few faithful readers haven't given up on me yet.  In some aspects nothing new has been going on, but then again, my life has been radically changing.

Mr. Amazing is still amazing!  I went to visit him this past weekend and I met a lot of his friends and his family.  He was so attentive and sweet.  Always there with his arm around me or holding my hand even in front of his best guy buddies.  He makes me feel pretty and wanted.  We still aren't "official" but I'm OK with that.  Right now we don't even know when we are going to get to see each other again.  Between his school schedule and my work schedule, it's going to be a little more difficult for us to see each other, but we both promise to try and make it work.  I do talk to him everyday if only via text.  But again, all of this is good enough for me.  I'm cool with taking things really slow because I would probably freak out if it went any faster.  There are still a few things that will eventually need to be worked out so I'm not throwing my heart out there completely, but I'll admit, it's really hard to keep it in check!

A few other things:

My parents and brother bought me the new iPhone 3G for my birthday.  It's got some pretty cool new features but really isn't that different.  I don't actually get 3G service anywhere near my city.  I have to go to a big city like Jackson or Little Rock to get 3G service.

I'm listening to the book "The Shack" on CD.  I've heard really great things about it, and I'm enjoying it so far.

I also downloaded "The Last Lecture" on my iPhone.  I've also heard good things about it.  The guy that wrote the book just recently passed away.  He was a professor at a college and was diagnosed with Cancer.  His book is based on the ideas he presented at his last lecture.  It's all about achieving one's dreams.

I downloaded Google Chrome.  It seems pretty nifty so far.  I'm thinking I'm going to like it a lot!

I'm excited about all the new TV premieres.  This season I'm watching One Tree Hill, Gossip Girls, 90210, The Secret Life of an American Teenager.  I'm also excited about the new season of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice!

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
