Learning lessons and stepping stones

What do you learn when you go through life? What do you learn from a relationship?

Yesterday, me and Mick officially broke up. It was a descent break but a break up indeed. I have learned things about myself in the past six months that we were dating. Some mistakes, I know I will work hard to try to not to do again, and then some things I know what to do the next time things come around.

My heart does hurt but in time it will heal. I know that right now, God doesn't want me in a relationship. I also know that right now, its not meant to be for me and Mick to be together. Is there a possibility that we might get back together, probably not but I don't want to rule out God's plans.

I know what I need to do and that is to recover and move on. In time, God will heal my heart and I can move on to bigger and better things. Well, talk to you later.

Love

Heartbreak

What does relationships with people can be hard? Why does my heart hurt so bad?

Mick wanted to break up last night. My mood swings are bad! He couldn't take it anymore. I ask if we can work things out. Then, we both agree to talk on Friday afternoon and see what happens. I have been crying over him since last night. Why, I like him or better yet, love him. I don't know if this is the point of no return. I have alot of people saying that if he is wanted to talk, he is wanting to work things out. Also he sent Vanessa to check up on me, they say he cares about me.

I don't know. My heart hurts and I want everything to be ok. I just have to remember what someone told me, "If this is the one God wants for you, it will work out"

Well, bye for now.

Love,

Busy, busy, busy

Sorry that I have been so busy lately. These past few weeks have been hectic and no signs of slowing down soon.

You are wondering why I am posting this so late at night, early in the morning. Well, I am night person! Something that I never really got over since being in college. I tried to go to be early but I get distracted and well, its all over.

Getting ready for north south. You may also wonder what that is. Well, ever month at OBC, we have a school of the prophets. Its for the preacher boys to practice what they are learning when it comes to preaching. Well the last one of the school year, they make it big hence north vs. south. Well, I'm a southern through and through but I am dating a northern, and that a preacher boy! Well, guess what, I am sitting on the north side and going to the picnic with him. I think the sacrifice will be worth it.

Well, hate to keep it short, but its bed time. Until next time.....

In Christ,

Meeting the parents pt.2

What can I say. It went very well. Mick's parents came in about noonish and met up with them about 1:30pm. He acts just like his dad! His dad was picking on me the whole day we were out. We took them to a sub place for lunch. It was pretty good.

From there, we went to the OKC bombing memorial, which I will tell you a little about that later! We went to Bricktown, walk around there, then we went to Lake Overholster (after a trip to Braums), and went ended up at On the Border for supper. We had a good time. Spent time with his parents and Mick. In the end, they like me :)

Something that struck me was when we went to the OKC Bombing memorial. By the museum, there is a wall where little kids painted pictures and so on expressing their thanks, sympathies, etc. One that I thought was touching was one that stated "The sky is still blue so the sun will shine through" I thought that was touching for the time and occurance of the bombing but our everyday life. We go through problems and circumstance and we ask why. In the end, the sky is still blue so the sun will shine through. It was a very touching statement from a little kid.

Well, I will post you later :) Love ya!

Easter :)

This Sunday everyone for the most part will be celebrating Easter. What does Easter mean ? For some, it means being off of work (unless you work retail!). For others, its getting together with family, having barbecues, easter egg hunts and if you come from a mostly Hispanic family like I did, family coming after you with confetti eggs.

Honesty, I didn't know what Easter meant till I got saved. I just know that it was a day you wear a frilly dress, do an easter egg hunt (hoping you get the egg with the ten dollar bill in it) and having a great cookout (if it wasn't rainy nor cold). Easter represented that to me. When I got saved, it changed. I'm not saying easter egg hunts are bad nor everything else but when we forget the Saviour that rose again to give us sinners victory, then Easter has lost its meaning.

So when you are spending time with your family, stuffing eggs for the hunt whether for your kids or bus kids, and eating some great food (if there is not a burn ban in your county), just remember Jesus. Remember what He went through so me and you if we accept Him, won't have to go through an eternity without Him. Have wonderful weekend and happy Resurrection day!

In Christ,
