Single Waiting

Disclaimer: Don't take all of these as factual. Take them more as satirical and funny. I am sure some of you have had these things happen in this order and work out in your favor. But in my world, I do know of quite a few women, as well as men, who this does not happen for so easily. I know a lot of us, men and women, go through the analyzing stages of: 1) Meeting someone 2) Developing an interest in them 3) Liking them 4) Believing they share the same affections 5) Going slightly crazy when they do not feel the same way because you read the "signs" right 6) Analyzing the situation 7) Analyzing your entire relationship history with that of the opposite sex 8) Epiphanies galore 9) Literally kissing dating and romance goodbye until the next attraction 10) Hope- Again. In this go around, I'm just going to be mentioning the women's stand point of how to tell if a guy is not really that interested in you. But allowing the tendency of seeing what you want in order f...

You know when you're minding your own business only to have someone come along and tell you you're going about something the wrong way? That their way is probably better and more right? Maybe it's subtle. Maybe it's not... But sometimes those are blatant responses you might get from someone else about the status of your life, your relationships, how you raise your kids, how you spend money, how you are trying to be you. Yea......those people undoubtedly make their presence known in all of our lives. Its probably one of the most annoying things to deal with. Some times a "SHUT UP!" just won't suffice. I would prefer it if people would only give me the advice if I asked for it, but sometimes I need advice even if I don't ask for it. In the case of a gentleman at a department store, standing behind me in the check out line thought he knew my financial situation better than I did, decided to tell me the financial market and he thought it was a bad ide...

Surrender, the year 2012, prayer. These things are the biggest portions of my life. The thought of surrendering sounded like captivity of strength, at that point in time. Now, when I think of surrendering, I think about how much I want to honor God by giving him everything that I feel I need to control. I know that without him, I can not control my own finances nor make wise decisions about where my money should appropriately go. I can not control my career, because without him, I can not do the job that I am asked to do without his guidance. I can not control many things without the help of God because he grants me the things that I need aside from the typical necessities.  For finances, I need wisdom in saving my money and blessing others. I can't bless others, if I can't organize the resources God has already given me. For a career, I can't do it without him because I need to have the grace and patience to treat the people I work with, with the honor and respect they d...

Why is it that waiting seems to be counterproductive? I'll tell you why it seems that way. When we are waiting for something, we tend to think of all the things that we want to see happen when the waiting process is over that we hardly ever take into consideration the process we have to go through in order to "gracefully" get through the waiting process by working with what we've got. Waiting is not a death sentence! Read it again. It's not a death sentence! We wait for better things, we wait for healing, we wait to learn lessons.          In terms of waiting for school to be finished, I couldn't do anything else to rush that process of school except to finish it, and do my best. Was it rewarding after finishing it? You betcha! I couldn't have been more happy to walk my happy little graduated butt across the stage even if it was to get a fake diploma for that day. My borrowed robe was on, my crooked little hat hardly fit over my hair, and my b...
