Somewhat better. Outwardly, I'm doing good. Inwardly, it's still a struggle to gain motivation and I find myself being "disconnected" somewhat; she and I had something special and I fell in love again. Now, although I still have feelings for her, being able to let them go has been slower than a freight train crossing 8th street. Overall, these past months have been hard on me, and last Sunday wasn't so cheery either. I haven't had the reaction that I was hoping to have (outward frustration and the urge to smash stuff and fume at my mouth) but it's affecting me more non-reactionary; just being carefree about things and not really caring about much lately. Despite that though, I'm still going on as best I can. It has left me searching for another connection...desire to connect with someone else I guess. I can't really explain it; it's just not the same as it used to be. In some ways, I've grown still optimistic, but in other ways I've become pessimistic. It's in that pessimism that I have reacted to a degree while still trying to force myself to let out what I feel. Other than that, things are okay; I still have my job and I still have my home.

I'm glad to hear you are doing better Ninjaearth! I will keep praying for your heart to heal completely and that God will give you comfort in the days to come.
I am having a different week, the guy I liked asked another girl out...oh, well. I'll get over it, it would have been easier if he hadn't been such a stinking jerk about the whole deal, but it's okay.
My friend "Christopher Robin" made me smile last night when the whole thing went down, I was kind of upset about it and he was like- "Hey, he's the stupid one for not liking you. He lost, not you. Because, since he was an idiot, God will bring you an even BETTER guy!" I love him, he always knows what to say to make me smile, I don't know what life would be like without him there, he is a great and wonderful friend to me!
I've just decided to chill on guys for a while, I want time to just let my heart kind of heal and figure out where I'm going in life...no more crushes for quite a while!
School is going okay, I'm anxious for Thanksgiving break though!
I'm going on Vacation this weekend...YEAH! Just going to have fun and not even think about the rest of everything, going to relax and let God be in COMPLETE CONTROL!
So, how is everyone else's week going?

Thanks. I'm trying.
I did okay today at a friend's wedding. I thought it would be a challenge because emotionally I'm at a wedding and that brings forth unfulfilled desires (i.e. wanting to be married, etc) as well as memories of past conversations I had with my new ex. On top of that, there were two women there that I had crushes; on of them are part my posse from last year. So, needless to say, that I was emotionally "quiet" today and mostly spent time just trying to concentrate on being happy for my two friends who are now husband and wife while not worrying about my personal issues. I mean, it came out and I had shown my disappointment and frustration in other ways (i.e. more than my usual cups of coffee, certain phrases I said (i.e. I'm just living it up right now) and putting on a face that smiles and says everything is fine. Emotionally, it's still hard, but I am getting better. I had a conversation with Lee, a friend of mine I met last year and have spent a good amount of time getting to know him as a bro-in-Christ as well a friend, and he has been encouraging by reminding me of God's Sovereignty and that he and our little group are here for one another. It was nice to have someone to share my pain; many have told me not to give up and that's been my temptation. Greater, however, has been the temptation to "eat, drink, and be merry" because I just don't know my number is up; not that I'm worried about it, but my friend's passing this September sparked thought on that. It just hasn't been an easy time for me folks; I've been fighting with some things and trying to make sense without leaving room for much human philosophy when it concerns the matters of life.
An example would be what the Bible says about dating, how to do this or that, and realizing that Scripture doesn't say anything about it (this is just an example). I mean, my two friends met more than a year ago and are now married; it was a very short engagement. It's things like that I was telling him that there are no biblical guidelines about dating (by that, the Bible says nothing about dating whatsoever, as far as context is concerned; for example the Bible talks about sex but the issue to date or how to date is unwritten). So, it's those things that I take from this world and think "it is just human philosophy saying this). This line of thinking leads me to examine myself in light of being apart of a divided church and a hurting, painful, somewhat confused ex. All I'm saying, in light of all of this, is just how complicated my life is in really putting things in their right perspective. Emotionally, I am still dealing with things that I need time to get over and although some closure has been sought, I still linger with the "after affects" of what's going to happen with the other person. I guess, in trying to see what will happen with Helen, I am still left with the speculation of certain fears and ideas that I had and unfounded; if I find that something was evident and it happens, that certain things were true and something was not said. It's things like that that I tend to wonder about; I shouldn't. But, this is one thought of many that I"m having right now in trying to endure this time of healing. I have some deep wounds, pounded over by the years, that I am fighting with right now. What happened with Helen was only one event in my life that has contributed to more disappointment and pain; there are other things involved. So, where does that leave me now? I am, at this point, going through an extreme self-examination process and thought process that will help me identify my mistakes as well as help me heal emotionally and properly deal with the disappointments in life. To be honest, a good cry on the shoulder would be great; I have been close to tears but not quite there. Part of I'm dealing with is wanting to be emotionally connected with someone. I want what I saw today and I just realize that it's going to be harder for me in the future (I'll explain later). I just know right now, I will do my best to do the right thing and take the right attitude as my time winds down here towards my Hillsboro transition.
My Saturday has been interesting and emotionally suppressive but spiritually uplifting and challenging. Emotions are tricky, even as a guy! Sure, I don't show them much but if I did it would look something like a lost child screaming for a hug and kiss from a father; to a more extreme, I would say "I need someone to connect with" by that, on a deep level that reaches into the soul and puts a smile and motivation on someone's face. Yes, I have the Spirit of God who actually prevents me (yes...prevents) me from giving up (I just can't do it people...not matter how hard I try) and that sense of hope is always present and i can't shake it. I want to; I want to be miserable and hurt, but I can't do it. So, I'm letting things out in another way. That's what I've been dealing with all time. So, I hope this clarifies my struggles a bit; please know that I am doing well otherwise and that I am working on some things for my blog tomorrow in light of the events and conversations I had today. I thank you all for your prayers!!! Sorry for being so long; guess I had a lot to say.

I've been gone for a while and there is so much going on in everybodys lives!
Ninja - I'm sorry to hear about what you've been going through. God will make you stronger through this. I will pray for you to keep your heart healing!
Fluff - Congrats! You're finally married! Where did you guys go on your honeymoon?
JesusChick - I'm sorry to hear about your heart getting hurt as well. It's nice that you have good friends to encourage and support you. Where did you go on vacation?
I've still been really busy with both of my jobs. However, my second job should slow down some for a while, now that I've finished my big project. Church has been going well. We have decided to stay at our church at least until after we get married. I get to go see our high schools rendition of Footloose tonight. I'm excited about that :) I hope everyone has a good rest of the week and a great weekend.

Hi, Megan!
I'm better now, the boy who hurt me apologized last night. I'm just falling in love with Jesus Christ at the moment!
Went to Branson, it was so much fun! We got to see The Promise, it was AMAZING!!! The actor that they used to portray Jesus was wonderful! And the actor that they used for the apostle John was so nice and friendly, we got to meet all the actors and actresses, it was so much fun!
It sounds fun to get to see Footloose tonight! One of my friends' school is putting it on and I want to go see it so bad! Hope you have fun!

Work is going okay. My kid's been a real pain lately (usually everyday but more than usual); other than that, it's going okay. I am looking for a part-time job though to make some extra money on the side. Working at the school is nice but that's only when I do work there and log it on my timesheet do I get paid. So, I need a secondary income to help with the expenses as well as for my transition. So, that's what I'm working with at the moment. How is everyone else doing?
I am going over a friend's house; my second family, if you will. I will be joining them on Thursday afternoon for a nice meal and will be coming back home later that evening. So, it should be a better Thanksgiving and not like anything that happened last year.

We're gonna bbq steak for Thanksgiving, because I hate turkey. (My grandmother and I.) And then I was invited to a party that I'll probably go to after she goes to bed.

I had a really wonderful Thanksgiving. I got to spend time with some of the people I'm most thankful for. My fiancee and I went to my grandparents on Thursday for lunch, then to his grandparents for dinner. Then, on Friday, we went to my other grandparents house. It was slightly torturous since I'm on Weight Watchers and I stuck to my plan, but I'm so glad that I did!
JesusChick - Branson's a fun place! I've never seen The Promise, but it sounds good. I like Silver Dollar City :)
Fluff - Oooh, the Bahamas! I bet it was just terrific. So, how's married life treating you?

Branson is AWESOME! If you ever get the chance, you should go see The Promise, it was truly AMAZING! (and who knew the Apostle John was so stinking cute and sweet?! ;) LOL! )
I like Silver Dollar City too, love PowderKeg!!!!
