I cannot believe that we are already in the month of June!!! Halfway through 2008! So many good and bad things have happened. The most amazing obviously, has been my return back to Jesus Christ. I decided to completely surrender to Him on March 2, 2008...it's been a great adventure so far!
I am not sure of why it took me so long to get back to Him. It does feel like the "Amazing Grace" song... I hate to think that I was a "wretch", but there are many periods in my life that I am not proud of. Now is not the time to talk about these things, not just yet. Instead, I want to write a list of the good things that have happened to me this past few months. In no particular order:
I have lost 35+ since December
I run longer and faster on the treadmill (I am still weird about running outdoors, even though I love hiking...)
I spend less and less time wondering about what could have been, and I instead focus on the amazing possibilities ahead of me
I have been celibate for a long time, but the difference is that I am now choosing celibacy as a lifestyle, rather than a twisted act of faithfulness to someone who does not deserve it
I have discovered the meaning of giving unconventionally, giving without wanting anything in return
I listen to my heart very frequently. We have very long and meaningful conversations
I have been called "enthusiastic" more than once, after talking about (or inviting people) serving opportunities.. Actually, you would have to kind of know me to really get this one...
I finally figured out what turns the crank of my heart (as DR would say)- more on that very soon...
I am slowly but surely learning to trust again
So many more amazing things have happened, but it would take me too long to write them down.
EED
