So I made quite a few new year's resolutions...and so far I've kept up with them!
I've been reading the bible everyday...I've worked out once this week and I'm going again today!
Everytime I work out I feel so good afterwards and it gives me a HUGE boost of Energy!
As far as worrying, I've tried my hardest to leave mine and my husband's past (nothing to do with cheating) behind me and look toward the future; although I have failed a little at bringing up the past, I have minimized it in hopes to never bring it up again.
As far as the others...I think they come with time and prayer!
Although I can say that in the past few days God has heard my prayer and he has blessed me and my family with a wonderful church and church friends that I cannot wait to see the future that lies within both!
On a totally different topic...
Have you ever been at a place in your life and realized that the people that are your friends aren't really your friends and aren't good people you should be surrounding yourself with? Well to tell you the truth I've been there several times and each time I decide to not hang around them anymore. However, I find myself with no friends except for the exception of two or three friends who I consider my lifetime friends that will be around forever no matter how far away we live from each other. But it has brought me to this question...How come I cant find people in my life to be or become close friends...or a couple that me and Zach can hang out with that are good influences in our life! It sometimes makes me think what is wrong with me? Do I not seem fun? Who Knows??? I think friends are one of our needs more than anything else. I have come to the point in my life where the partying days are over...I dont have to have alcohol to have a good time...simply playing a card game, sitting around talking about various topics, or driving in the car listening to 80's music (does this sound lame) is fun for me!
Call me a parent or lame...whatever it is you think! I'm longing for that friend or couple of friends to hang out with, debate theology with, go get manicures with, go shopping (some place other that Union City lol), and whatever else! However, God has his time and place for things to come in and out of boths mine and my husband's life! We are both anxious to see what God has in store for this New Year and the months to come in our Newly wonderful marriage!
I understand where u are coming from Laura. I've been in your shoes. It all changed with me when I got married and had children. Then I lost more friends when I became a more involved Christian. This is one of many reasons why I love Grace Comm Church, I have made more friends there. I love it because I know if I have a problem I have people that I can go to, and will listen to me, and not judge me or understand where I am coming from because they have been in that situation too. Of course most of them are older than me, but it does not matter to me. I've gone out to eat, shopping or talked on the phone with some of them, and I consider them my closes friends I have had in a long time. For years, me and Deon just had each other. But with Grace we know we are loved by others, and feels like a big family. Not only are they my brother and sisters in Christ, but I feel like they are truely my brothers and sisters. : )
