So anyway I thought that I would let you all know that (title). I really like AP's newest album. It is called the Far Country and there is a quote that says "God is at home. We are in the far country." It is just about going home. Anyway it is good. So enough about that on to new stuff. So I want to thank everyone for the encouragement in regards to my last blog. It really means a lot to me that my friends would take time to read my ramblings, but also that you would leave a little comment of encouragement. So again thanks. I think that the hardest part of this move has been not being able to see my friends all the time like I did back home. One interesting thing about it is the fact that I have realized that some of the people that I have been friends with have now become just acquaintances. This is not a new subject to the blog, but I just started thinking about it after reading the recent comments and realizing how special the friends that I do have are. The strangest thing about it is the fact that I have really adjusted to not having as many friends. Of course I know that it is only because of the Lord helping me to adjust. It is crazy to think that I have now been gone from Hartselle for almost a year now. It will be a year on Nov. 14th. Which is also just five days after my 24th birthday (nov. 9th Hint. Hint.). I believe that the lack of friends has also been what brought to mind the whole being single thing. It sometimes gets lonely and I think “if only I were married” then you know I would have my best friend in the whole world right there to talk to if I felt lonely, but as I said before I am being patient and I know that she is out there. Just now a lady (mrs. Betty) came into my office talking about us looking for a new music minister and she said that God would send the right person for the job and that God was preparing that person and that we just need to be patient in waiting for that person to come. It is kind of funny that I have had friends tell me the same thing about my future wife and then God reaffirms it with some lady talking about something else, but at the same time I think without her knowing she was being used to tell me something I needed to hear at least one more time. She is out there God is just preparing her and I just need to be patient. I also have a pretty good idea that there are probably some things about me that God is changing to prepare me for her. After all it is a two way street.
