My friend has passed...
Nothing but tears today on my drive at the end of winter break. John is gone & all I wanted was to talk to him and have him console me and give me guidance.
I cry because I miss him & my biggest struggle is loneliness. I cry though because I told him he cannot leave this earth until I have my life figured out. He is gone & I feel as though I have less figured out than ever before....
The Best Kind of Love
By Annette Paxman Bowen
I have a friend who is falling in love. She honestly
claims the sky is bluer. Mozart moves her to tears. She has
lost 15 pounds and looks like a cover girl.
“I’m young again!” she shouts exuberantly.
As my friend raves on about her new love, I’ve taken a good
look at my old one. My husband of almost 20 years, Scott,...

No soul mate? Test results:
You want to find this person, yet you question whether it is even possible. You have seen so many relationships that seemed perfect take a downward spiral and leave people hurting and alone. You have a lot going on in your life, and you want your decisions to be right… You like the challenges of dating, yet you are hesitant to love. My advice: There is someone out there who will sweep you...
Newest prayer
That it will be better than I ever could have imagined. That it come soon.

Watched their story today. You realize life isn’t about you. You need to serve others. I will make this my priority. God wants it this way. Serve Him; serve others.
A life without limits: what I want
- my soulmate; my “Matt Damon” kind of love
- to start a family with him
- to grow in spirituality
- to travel the world
- to spread happiness & joy to others

25th Birthday
Rather than making my own birthday wish - praying I understand God’s will for me. Praying I get to His path.

Matt Damon & Ellen Degeneres
Ellen: “Do you like that you’re getting older?”
Matt: “I actually love it because when I turned 40, I felt a great sense of calm. Maybe I’ll freak out in six months or something. All the big questions that weren’t answered when I turned 30, are all kind of answered now.”
Ellen: “What were those questions?”
Matt: “Well I always hoped that I would meet someone that I wanted to spend my life with and start a family with and then that happened. But before that happens, you’re going, ‘I wonder if I’m ever going to meet somebody.’ And then I met her and everything got easy after that.”

Of course the natural inclination is to want to fill it and make it disappear but what I’ve come to recently is that it’s impossible. Nothing will fit in that hole because what we want back we can’t get, which is this one person. I’m not going to rush anything and scamper around like a mad...

11 Questions that lead to gratitude
justbesplendid:
It’s a good idea to look back and reflect on the year that’s just coming to an end. What are you grateful for?
What made you happy? The new friends I’ve made in my new town
What energized you? Running the Chicago Marathon.
What barrier did you overcome? Letting go of past relationships, coming to the realization that I made them into what I wanted them to be, rather...
This could work. Stranger things have happened…
God understands our prayers even when we can't...
yes. I cannot find the words to even bring to him regarding the ‘poor circumstance’ situation. Hoping something can turn out of this.
Feeling as though everyone is able to make things work - and I’m the only one that can’t even get a foot in the door for someone to try this.
Needing HIS grace. HIS direction.
