Finally :)

Good evening,

Yesterday I went on a date, this was a big deal for me because I have only had one other date this year lol (I know its a bit sad). Well not really, it partly just happened that way but was partly my conscious decision. I guess I was tired of just dating to date. I wanted my next dates to lead upto a meaningful relationship. I guess it was worth the wait. I have known this guy who I will call "B" for about two years now. At first I wasn't really interested in him but I thought he was interested in me so it was fun talking and chatting with him. He never made a blatant move. Anyway as time went on I found out more about him and became interested in him. I will admit it I was really shallow in the beginning-the first thing that caught my attention was his education, the fact that he was tall (I am quite tall so I appreciate a taller guy) and handsome also helped.

Anyway as time went on nothing serious ever happened between us we went out a couple of times but nothing major. During this time however, I got to know B in a lot of other ways. I found out that he is really grounded in the Lord, he greatly revers and fears the Lord, he is enthustiatic about the Lord and yearns to fully understand the word of the Lord and he is going to be a great leader in the church someday-I can tell from the way he speaks. Other attributes:He is very thoughtful,kind, treats his mother well and comes from a nice family.

Back to the date-I forgot to mention that B and I go to the same church and that is how we met. Anyway, I had been praying about the day we would finally get the chance to go out on a "date". This had been going on for so long-I had faith that it would happen but I know a part of me gave up. But as Ecclesiastes 3:1 and Habakkuk 2:2-3 says there is a season for every activity under heaven and the revelation awaits an appointed time..though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay respectively-- and yesterday was that day for me. We agreed to go and see a movie together. "B" came over a little early so we had a chance to talk and just chill-it was nice. Later we went to the movies, he was such a gentleman opened my door and all doors, paid for everything etc. There wasn't a big rainbow in the sky or fireworks but I really enjoyed myself and had a relaxed time-I couldn't help but feel that this is what all sunday evenings should be like. After the movie, he drove me back to my place, walked me to the door and gave me a............... hug (what were you expecting??) I told you he really was a gentleman.

If you couldn't already tell, I really enjoyed myself and it was worth the wait. I pray to God that he directs both our steps and guides us with the establishment of our relationship. I want this relationship to have God as its foundation. O'Lord please work on me-help me not carry the hurt emotions from my past relationships into this one.

Till I write again

Dear God

Dear God
For the past couple of days I have been in sort of a slump. Every so often I feel down and I can't explain this feeling. Sometimes I feel that I am not fulfilling my purpose here on earth. Thankfully today I woke up in a much better mood. I called off sick from work today and tomorrow because I need some real R&R (rest and relaxation) time. I am at that point in my life where I am asking what next? I have been out of school for two years now, work full time, travel a lot and currently single. Don't get me wrong I love the travel-I get to see so many different places and experience many different things. However, at the end of an assignment I come back to reality my home which is an empty apartment and can't help but wonder what is next for me? I guess I am at a cross roads in my life. However, I am not really despaired because I have been at this junction before. We all have dreams and expect our lives to go one way when the reality is that more often than not our lives turn out completely opposite-for the better anyway. I now realize that I have plans for my life but God's plans are always better. So when I come to a cross roads in my life I turn to God and ask for the strength, courage and guidance to follow his Will. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". It is with this scripture that I find solace and comfort in knowing that God is always there for me even when I am not there for myself. I will sign off here, till next time...........................................................
