God gave me a suprise

So. Where do I even begin little chicken nuggets. So much has happened over the course of 1 week.

For starters you may recall that I said I took the plunge and made a profile on an online dating site.

It took all of a few hours for a promising prospect to come along.

I don't talk about it too much on this ole' blog but the man upstairs and i?

Pals. Love Him.

He knows what He is doing and I need to learn to become a lot more trustworthy of that.

Anyway my point is I used to say I would NEVER online date. But something inside of me stirred me and I thought what the heck why not!

So about three hours into having said profile up and running a match came along.

A cute one.

One who I had quite a bit of common interests in.

And he asked me if I would want to meet.

Friday was the day.

I had sweaty palms, I was sick to my stomach, my nerves were outta control, I actually contemplated not going.

But something stirred inside of me and I kept telling myself, "you can do this."

Boy am I glad I did.

After the first initial moments of me being Creep of the Week with my awkwardness we had this great conversation.

Intense deep conversation.

Too much for a first date? Probably for the average bear.

But I think we all know I am not an average bear.

He asked compelling questions that caused me to think and ponder and really reflect and do some inner soul searching.

He is a man who loves Jesus and puts that at the front of everything he does.

You guys he actually asked me if I would pray about our dating and ask God to show me what His plan is for us.

My heart melted.

I couldn't have been happier with my first experience.

We talked for hours about important things, deep meaningful conversation.

And I smiled the whole time and I didn't stop smiling all weekend.

God has given me a new perspective, a fresh and new look at things.

Maybe dating isn't for the birds after all.
