My weekend in Natoma

This weekend I was part of one of those annoying couples that usually drive me crazy. You know the one I'm talking about. The couple who hold hands over the table while waiting for their food or steal kisses walking down the street. Yep, that was me. And it took me somewhat by surprise.

When I met Titus last fall, I knew he was a special man. Over the past five months he has been pursued me faithfully and I have fallen the man he is and desires God to continue to help him become. There were so many things about him that continued to impress me, that even though I didn't immediately feel that "spark", I knew I couldn't just walk away either. So when we planned for me to take this trip back to visit him and see him at work and meet his friends, I was excited and nervous at the possibilities. It somewhat felt like a make-it or break-it weekend.

Thursday night I pulled into Plainville, KS to meet Titus for dinner. I was nervous and anxious as I got closer. But as soon as I saw him and got out of my car, all of those fears melted away. Now, not only do I have the attraction to the man, I have the "spark" I was looking for. I feel as if I had blinders on so that I would fall for Titus and now those blinders have been taken off and the physical attraction is the icing on the cake.

We continue to pray that God is at work in our relationship. There are many logistics that have to still be figured out. But we are confident that God has everything in His hands and we will continue moving forward and trusting Him.

A Bit Overwhelmed

At the moment I am feeling just a bit overwhelmed from the last week. Overwhelmed in a really good way. I have so many things I want to write about...but haven't had a chance to talk them out first. So, I wait, thoughts spinning in my head.

I have always read just about everything I can get my hands on when it comes to relationships. And last week I watched a program on the science of attraction. I was very intrigued, and want to write something about that.

Then Saturday we had a retreat at church for women. I could not take notes fast enough, and had a couple of conversations that day that may very well be a turning point or if nothing less a defining moment in my life...and I want to share more about that.

But for right now, I will leave with this. I am still convinced that great new things are coming my way this year and I am very excited to share them as they begin to develop.
