New church, new Monica
I went to church with Monica.
*dramatic pause*
She happens to be someone from NAU with the same name as my ex. The 22 year old found me online and made contact by sending me two decent sized messages. We wouldn't have been able to get in touch any other way because for whatever reason, she doesn't come up in my search results for people in my area despite her setting her location as Phoenix. She visits her church & friends in Phoenix on occasion, so she invited me to her church two Sundays ago, and we met there. Thankfully, it wasn't too far from my condo and they have an 11:15AM service. I really liked their music and message. In fact, I went back there again this Sunday.
"Maybe He's sending you a sign that you're doing something right."
Before even meeting Monica in person, hearing that on the phone from the other Monica put me in tears for a while, partially because I hadn't thought about it and in addition to not expecting to hear that. I don't know whether Monica C is such a sign from God, but regardless, I appreciate her kind and personable nature that somehow motivated her to get in touch with me. It can very well put an end to the fact that I haven't made any really good friends out of the Christian groups or churches I've gone to, despite having met many people through them. I really look forward to getting to know her more and develop a friendship. She is really talkative, which if it were all small talk, that wouldn't be a very good thing. But since we talk about important & meaningful stuff as well as fun things, it's all good.

How would you react if I shaved off my facial hair?
