I know no one gets on here anymore but to my brother and sisters in Christ I come asking for prayers. For all who don't know, I'm dating an unbeliever. There's really no other way to describe it. He grew up with no religion and believing everything that school taught him. He's been going to church with me for a little over 10 months now. He's been asking questions and it seemed to me that he might actually start believing in God sooner rather than later. But tonight was the first night he's actually told me no, he doesn't want to go with me to a church service. It almost broke my heart. This was over the phone because he had to work late so he didn't see the look on my face. He knew he upset me though because he let me get off the phone with him without any kind of struggle. He doesn't like confrontations or feeling like he's in trouble. Instead of calling back and asking why he didn't want to go and risk crying all over my new phone (which would have happened) I decided to text him and ask. He's usually, as most people are, more to the point when asked something like that via text of some sort (SMS, email, etc.). He didn't want to go because he doesn't like driving so far just to sit and listen to something that's dull and he doesn't understand. Again, my heart sank. This entire time I was praying to God for wisdom on how to handle this and respond back. Apparently I responded back in just the right way because by the end of the texting we had decided to read the bible together a little every other day and talk about it. I hadn't the nerve to ask if he still didn't want to go to services with me tomorrow night. I absolutely do not want to come off as someone who is being pushy about it or shoving it down his throat. In His time. Please pray for me as I study with him. God has no hands but our hands...that responsibility scares me to death. And please pray for him. That he'll have an open, tender heart for the word of God. God gives the increase. If I've learned nothing else, I know patience is something I've made very big strides in but I still have so much more to learn in that respect. And patience is something I know I'll need a lot of. Hope is still thriving in me. I've calmed down greatly just typing this out and saying prayers. I can't imagine what other great things will happen with y'all's prayers added to mine. God bless

Hey, pleo friends :)
I haven't been on here in a coon's age!
I was lookin' back through it for a little bit and
boy howdy, things have changed a good bit since the last
time I posted. I really don't know what to put.
I need to get back into the groove of checking this thingy
and what not. I think this is a good start :)
I'll check back in after awhile I suppose.

Oh! Jeremy and Melinda got married Friday :)
Woohoo!!

When we get hurt, we lash out and cry and think bad things.
But if we use logic and think back to the heart and the character
of the person we thought we once knew, we still know them.
Emotions cloud our understanding and analytical thought.
They make us irrational and do things we wouldn't normally do.
Perhaps the person never changed but simply decided to finally
take a stand against something we were doing. In a way, they
have changed. They found their courage to tell us we are wrong.

Life is tough. Get a helmet.

Blah blah blah. La Ti Da.
Made you read this stupid thing.
No, it's not very interesting.
Rhymed a little.
Dumb a lot.
If you have a gun,
please don't take a shot.
Just wanted to write
So here it is
Later, gator!
Have a happy new year :)

Today is my last day at the hospital :(
I'm gonna miss all the women here that I worked with.
I won't miss the job though. Advanced Financial is giving
me more hours, a promotion, and a pay increase so I couldn't
say no :) Plus I'll have my weekends back...to fill up with
homework unfortunately. Oh well. When I'm not busy with
homework maybe I'll do something fun, lol. One of the women
here gave me a rose today just to let me know how much
I'm going to be missed. I think they're determined to make
me cry. They all signed a card and gave it to me yesterday
*tear*

Hope everything is going well for ya'll :)
