Meeting the parents

Well, this weekend is going to be an exciting weekend. First, it's because we are celebrating Easter on Sunday. Oh how I am grateful that my Lord rose again so we can someday rise again to glory! Another reason is, I MEET THE PARENTS. Now you may ask, are you nervous? Well, yeeeesssss!!!!!!

Mick assures me that his parents will love me but moms, you know how you are if you have a grown son. The girl he brings home, you would try to find a reason why she is not good enough for your baby boy! Some moms just get to the point and believe that no girl, no matter how sweet and wonderful she is, will never come close to being good enough for your son! Is that my worry, yes.

By God's grace, I will pass this test with flying colors! I hope that the meeting will go very well and that his parents will like me. Also my prayer is that they stay for church on Sunday. Why you may ask. As you see, Mick is like me, he did not come from a Christian home and his parents till this day are not saved. He has tried to witness to them but has not had any luck with both of them. I pray that my testimony and personality will a least be a good witness of Christ' love to them.

Once I go through this weekend, I have only one other worry concerning my relationship with Mick. It is him passing the test when he meets the Hollars. Bro. Mickey, not so much, Mrs. JoAnn, yes!

Well, done with my short and sweet post for today. See you soon. Love ya!

What I don't understand

Well, I realize more and more that I am woman. You may read this and think, NO DUH!!!!!! I never really considered myself a girly girl. I didn't have a problem getting dirty if it meant getting the job done. I do have a fit if I break my nail but I get over it usually!

I realize it when I get mad and instead of getting mouthy, I get quiet, try to get out of there, cool off (usually means walking or crying) and see what happens! I don't like confrontation and I don't like fights (Mostly because of what I dealt with growing up and working hard not to be that)

Well, this came when this morning when I found out my boyfriend cross that line. We know which line. The line of privacy when you discuss something that you thought was supposed to be between you and him and it was supposed to be it. Well, he told his roomie who used it jokingly to another buddy's mom that we were breaking up. Now I don't have a problem with joking but I do have a problem when my personal issues and conversations have been compromised.

Now, I know I am no better that I am posting this as my latest blog entry but I just don't understand why some men have to tell everything to everybody! I am one that likes to keep my private life private. If I have a problem and I go to someone, I expect in confidence that it would not be shared with the whole universe. Then I remembered the times that I was told something and I might have blabed about it to someone else, and realized that I should have kept my mouth shut. The law of sowing and reaping is once again proven true in my life!

I pray that me and Mick can get this resloved with no hurt feelings. I would go talk to him but tonight is the School of the Propehts and he is getting ready to preach. I don't what to burden him right before he gives a message that the Lord gives him to give to us!

I have a lot to learn about a dating relationship that might could lead to a marriage relationship! What I have learned so far.....

1. You are liking this person for who they are. You have to accept the good, the bad, and the ugly
2. Be yourself. Don't try to be something that you are not
3. Communicate, communicate, communicate. You can't read his mind and he definitely can't read yours! (Something that I am still learning)
4. Have fun. If you can't afford to go on dates, enjoy the little times you have together

Well, I am done with my soapbox for today. I feel better now that I got this off my chest, its now going to him and getting things right! Well love ya!

In Christ,

First Time for Everything

Well, I thought that I would never do nor start this but I did it. I started a blog, for what purpose, I don't know. I just thought it would be something neat to do. Share my thoughts, worries, prayer request, new interests in my life and anything else worth your time reading.

Just to up to date on my life, I graduated from Oklahoma Baptist College May 2009. I currently reside in Oklahoma City. I just work to pay bills and help out at church when needed. I get the chance to go to college chapel when I don't work and hear great preaching. I still get to help on the best bus route ever, bus 7. It is the one that goes to the NW side of OKC.

I also started dating a guy named Mick Brown. He is 30 years old and is surrendered to evangelism in Australia. We have been together for six months (crazy isn't it). It has been fun with a few lessons learned (First dating relationship for me and first Christian dating for both of us). We are just praying for God's Will to be done in our lives. He is a freshman at OBC this year and is wanting to get done in three years. If you can remeber to pray for him, I would appreciate it.

Well, it's getting late and I need sleep. I will be back ocassionally to post later. Love ya!

In Christ,
