It's been an amazing week. I've done so much!

I've had some challenges in priorities lately. I've been asked to attend a few different things that I have had to turn down. I realize now that God is helping me be more consistent and to stay true to the things I've committed to, especially if they are things that help me grow in my faith or are areas where I will be serving others because of my love for Him.

Last weekend I went on a road trip with a couple friends of mine and I have to say, the best part of it was the driving and spending time with the girls! It is so great to spend time with Christian friends who share common interests and share the love for God that we do! I can't even begin to write all that I've learned from my vacation.

On our road trip we listened to podcasts of Aaron Stern (preacher at The Mill church in Colorado Springs), who spoke on relationships. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! The message reminded me that I am a woman of worth...worth dying for. Worth waiting for a man of integrity who is becoming more and more like the God he serves. I won't settle for anything less!I just went to a Women Who Worship conference yesterday. Speakers Rebecca St. James and Gloria Gaither each reinforced truth of how God sees us as women of worth and beauty...just as we are.

I've been single all of my life and it's a little embarrassing to admit that I've never even really dated anyone before. Never had the confidence and I always hid behind my weight and other issues that caused me to use food as a crutch. Now for the first time in my life I feel truly ready for whatever and wherever God leads me. I shouldn't really be embarrassed by my lack of experience on the dating scene. If anything, it makes me feel more pure. I've grown so much in the past year or so. I've still got so far to go but God is continually shaping me into the woman I need to become! It's such a scary but exciting process! BRING IT ON!!!!
