Friends, Marriage and Small Talk
So tomorrow is a new month. Tomorrow is April. AHHH! One month closer to one crazy summer! But tomorrow is my best friend's (at school) birthday which is very exciting. I think birthdays are a reason to celebrate because the Lord made us and calls us His own and this is the day in which He granted us enterance into the world to say hey i'm here... and now... hey thanks Jesus Praise the Lord! THe only thing that kinda bothers me right now about all my close female friends- aka my best friends- is they are all in relationships which automatically makes me the relationship expert for their problems... it can be annoying at times because it is just common sense what I give them but hey they have their big ROSE colored glasses on and need it sometimes. It can just be hard sometimes. I know the Lord has a time for everything, and don't get me wrong I am the most in love person with my groom right now... but it is just another thing which is thrust at me by my parents. Not my dad, although he is probably going to freak out eventually when I tell him I am dating someone and bring them back to the south. My step-mom- i dont really know what she thinks- I think she may think it is weird- I don't really talk about anyone I am interest in when I am there and I did not date in high school because I was totally into doing theater and learning about Jesus. My mom just keeps on asking me if I am dating someone and when I say no and I have other priorities right now and am happy being a single woman hanging out with Jesus- she is really funny- she only asks me occasionally now and the last time she majorly confronted me about it I got upset because she has this way of comparing me to my brother (younger older brother) who is dating and has been dating- I know she is not trying to compare me to him but she is in a sense-maybe you would understand maybe you won't. My stepdad who is sooo funny just wants a reason to pull out his overalls and a shotgun and try to scare whoever I end up bringing home. He is so funny! He would tease my mom with one of my brother's help by saying throughout high school that I had a boyfriend with a transam and lived down by the river. My mom's face was classic! Everytime... it was fun to play along too. She would semi-freak out everytime or just be like henry. His advice to my younger older brother to pick up women when he went to college was: "hey Baby..." in a barry white voice of course! So funny!(or maybe you just had to grow up in my family to undersatnd.)My younger older brother- we don't talk about it- that is about the only subject he rarely asks me about- maybe every 6 months he asks me but he never really expects any new developments. My grandmother if she was still alive would be waiting for the day I come home with a ring on my finger or a phone calling telling her. She would have wanted to know the moment something happend knowing her and I can just imagine her asking Jesus about her grandchildren in heaven after bowing at his feet. She was so funny!
Tonight I went to coffee with some friends from church and we were having a discussion which was really cool. They said that about 60% of the people that go to our church are seekers which is great. I will be praying for them, too. We were also talking about one of them's brother and how he has been dating a girl since thanksgiving and were talking about marriage and whether or not they should get married. It was funny because being as unserious as I can be I said that by the time I come back at the end of the summer I could be hitched.... that was funny... it made one of them uncomfortable and the other went along with it. I guess I get that unseriousness from living with my stepdad for 9 years. It is cool because I feel sometimes we as people are too serious. We just need to lighten up!
The Lord has been really good. I also really liked staci's post. It is true... women are waiting to be the beauty that is fought for. I am good right now with Jesus. Maybe someday in the future some man will fight for me... his beauty.
