Back to work! Or for those who worked yesterday, Day #2! I spent most of the day just reading...it was wonderful. My goal was not to waste the day in front of the TV but just to relax and spend some time in the word as well as in a few books. I must say I did pretty well - a few TV moments, but they were very rare and short lived. I finished an entire book! Actually I read it before but I wanted a light read....it's called "If i'm waiting on God then what am I doing in a Christian chat room." No joke - that is the title. It's written by this awesome Christian comic who actual grew up in the same area as I did - so its funny when she mentions places i've been. It's more like her journal - filled with her dating mishaps and funny stories. A great rainy day read. www.kerripom.comI kept reading and was like, MAN did she have a lot of relationships...but if i'm looking at my life, though there hasn't been a lot of substance, there have been quite a few "Time Fillers" as I love to refer to them...or my newest term "One Hit Wonders." But what struck me was just her desire to stop the vicious cycle and turn to the Lord, which i'm always trying to improve. Praise God that He is doing a work in me and this area of my life is under His control....FINALLY!!! It is a struggle most single women face - the desire to be loved and in a relationship, but also the desire not to settle for less than what the Lord wants for us. The problem with the two is that the second one takes longer to find....you actually have to wait awhile, which the first is always there. You can't help it - we're girls!! We're surrounded by love songs, sappy movies and fairy tales. I think that's one of the biggest crosses' we carry is our desires for True Love. Man this cross is HEAVY! Luckily the Lord only gives us as much as He thinks we can carry.
