Happy..

Three days in a row. My reading crowd of.. um... none.. should be proud of me. Haha. Today was a good day. This was the first day in quite a while that I woke up and was actually awake. I was not exhausted from the moment I got up until sometime in the afternoon where I would feel like I was finally awake. As a result, I am sapped this evening, but it was good to be fully awake all day long. We had a small scare at work today, thought one of my kids had the chicken pox. Ended up that he had an allergic reaction to amoxicillan. Who knew that that particular reaction looks almost identical to chicken pox? Not us. No one had seen an allergic reaction quite like it. But his mom picked him up and then called us after the doctor appointment with the news. We were quite thrilled actually. Being that it is Wednesday, I also had church tonight. (A side note: Angie got me this AWESOME camera from one of the websites she surveys on or whatever she does on there. I LOVE the camera and think it is one of the best gifts I have ever received from someone who is not family!!! Thanks, Ang!!!) I love church days/nights, especially when I get to hang out with the awesome youth group. The kids are so full of love for each other and God that it is just awesome and inspiring to watch them (most of the time). Our session tonight was the end of February's topic of Love, Sex, and Dating. (Yes, this is how Grant said it, with a whisper on the sex part). The actual lesson was about dating and how we can be okay with being single. God intends for people to be single- sometimes for a few months or years and sometimes for a lifetime. While I hope and pray that I am not one of the ones who is handpicked to be single for my lifetime, if I am I will be okay. This opened my eyes tonight. We are taught as a society that being by yourself is somehow "wrong" or odd. God has a purpose in everything that he does, including who he has for you and when you will meet them. It all has to be in HIS timing, not ours. And while I would personally like to meet someone sooner rather than later, I do not know what God has for me and do not want to rush into anything that could turn out badly. So here before you all, my non-readers (lol), I want to commit to being happy with being single. There may be days I am so frustrated about it that I could scream and there will be days that I will see other people's relationships going down the tube and be grateful that I do not feel that pain. However, I want to do this relationship thing right and the way to do that is to wait on God. When God decides that the time is right for me to be in a relationship, I pray that it will be with a godly man who cherishes me for who I am, not who he wants me to be. God wants me to have the best that I can have, just like he wants each of us to have the best that we can have. So for today (and I may have to say this every day), I will wait on Him.
