I was sitting here working on tonight's study and I started thinking about where God has brought me in my life. In three weeks I will be the big 24 and as I think about that I remember a time when I thought that by the time I am that old I will have a college degree, be married and possibly even a kid. Now that I am here I am really ok with not having those things (except for the college degree). I just think back to where God has brought me and know that everything is ok. I mean there are not many 23 year old full-time youth ministers out there without degree. I have been doing youth ministry since I was 18 and I know that it is only because of God that I was able to get to start in this so young. And it is his providence that I am here now. It took a long time for me to deal with the fact that I am single and have been for a very long time, and by the looks of it will be for a good while longer, but me knowing God is in control is the thing that keeps me from getting upset about it. Most of the people that I know that are single and around my age are all like "I love being single, it's great" well for a while I thought that I would be weird if I did not say the same thing. Well I realize now that I am not like everybody else. I don't like being single. I am ok with it because like I said God is in control and has given me a peace about it. I know some of you right now are thinking that I don't seem at peace with it because I seem to always blog about it. Well trust me I am trusting God and his timing. It just comes to mind sometimes and I just need to put my thoughts somewhere. So they usually end up here for all the world to read (of course that world really only consists of about 6 or 7 people, but you know what I mean). So now here I am just waiting very patiently on God to bring that special someone across my path. Of course I hope that I am paying attention when it happens, or maybe it all ready did and I missed it. My chance is forever gone. what am I going to do she was there and I was not paying attention I let her slip through my fingers and now does that mean I will be alone forever? Just kidding. I really didn't slip off the deep end I was just messing with ya. So anyway here I am still chillin and knowing that God is in control of everything.

you know bubba, the sweetest girl is waiting for you. i can't wait to meet her (although she has to pass the friend test, (isn't that right, Lisa and Melissa and other friends that are close to bubba). bubba...she also has to pass the sister test. in other words she must realize that your sisters were the first women in your life and will always be. (this comes from the "sister talk" in me!) hahhaahahahaahahahahahahahahahaha!!


Love never gives up,
never loses faith,
is always hopeful,
and endures.
