So much for my big new year's resolution to write more. I haven't written since then. Of course, I've had lots of ideas for things but they've never made it to the blog or any kind of paper. I've had a pretty big change in my live for the past month and half. I have fallen in love. His name is Chris and he's wonderful. We actually went to high school together and were friends back then. But I hadn't seen him a long time. He has moved back to Gatlinburg and is a vet and happen to see my driving into school one day. He found me on facebook and now we've been dating since. It has changed a lot in my life and I never thought that it would. I'm pretty sure I never knew what love was all about until now. I have become mushy and gushy and even engage in public displays of affection. I also have a new appreciation for the people that say you just know when you find the right person. Because I just know.
One of the best things that Chris and I have in common is church. He is very involved in his church and the youth programs there. I love that he's good with kids and understands where I'm coming from with the youth. He also prays for us before we eat and he prays for our relationship and the people in our lives. I think I might have fallen for him when he did this the first time.
The only issue that is coming up is where we go to church. It isn't really an issue because I've been going with him. I feel like it's the right thing to do, but it is difficult leaving my own church and the things that I'm use to. I'm pretty open minded when it comes to things. I believe there are so many ways to worship God because he's too big for one way. But it is challenging to me, to go somewhere different. I realized yesterday while sitting in the pew listening to the preacher, that maybe I was looking for things to be wrong at his church. That I was looking for my way to be the right way and wasn't necessarily giving it a chance. So hopefully, realizing this will allow me to keep an open mind.
