me...

*I love driving at sunset with the windows down and a good country song on the radio.
*Sometimes, I just like being alone. This does not mean I don't love every moment God gives me to spend with others.
*I love dancing, any type of dancing and wish I had more opportunities to dance- but maybe it's my fault for not turning enough situations in to opportunities to dance.
*I struggle every day.
*There are times when I paint a smile on my face. I am always amazed when there are people around me who can see the truth behind that smile, they help me more than they know.
*I still have trouble opening up to just about everyone except God.
* I like Garth Brooks (in spite of that Chris Gains/multiple personality disorder period he went through).
*I probably never would have started wearing makeup if my dad hadn't spent all of my teen years telling me to put on a little eyeshadow. I didn't listen until I was 20, but he was right!
*I love weddings.
*When I was younger I was annoyed by everyone telling me that I look just like my mom. Now, I realize how much of a compliment it is. My mom is beautiful and I hope I inheritated those genes.
*I am not afraid of death but I am terrified of mice/rats.
*Writing poetry is a process for me. One line or stanza comes to my mind and I write the poem around it.

Amazed.

God is omnipotent. I know that and I believe it with all my heart. And just in case I didn't, God has shown that to me in the last week. I am 1300 miles away from Sean right now. If left to my own power (of which I have none!), our relationship would probably be on hold due to the distance. Not much can happen across such a distance. But thankfully, we are not left to our own devices. God is not limited by the number of miles we are apart, 1300 miles is not even an inch on His scale. God has used this trip to bless and cultivate our relationship that much more. I have faced many obstacles in my trip already but God has used these to bring

Sean and I closer together and He has used Sean to speak to me.

"We're a team." Sean said the other night. Just an example of the work God is doing. We are indeed becoming a team. As I was vacillating between what God was calling me to do, He gave Sean the words I needed to hear. I so respect and admire the fact that Sean is so honest with me, he does not hold back his opinion (for fear of how I will react, etc.) and I know that the words he speaks have been prayed about in advance. I stand in wonderment of God and the man he has made Sean and I know that God is continuing to refine him. Another work in progress.

I am amazed by Him!
