Ministry, Work, Love, and Life

   We had our drive for the Pregnancy Center today. I also got to speak a little more in-depth with one of my fellow warriors;and the world gets smaller and smaller. We spoke of his unwillingness to be out from behind the table, and in between handing out lists, we talked about stereotypes. It seems the past has been forgiven, once again. I have to say I am proud of him for stepping out of his comfort zone, and it was also nice just to chat with him, as we didn't get started off on the right foot. More interesting things happened than I counted on.

   For example, I bought some earrings not too long ago, the chinese symbol for love. How odd that someone at church would have a tattoo of it on his arm. I get to be a face painter for the Walk for Life this year, also. The pregnancy Center has openings for volunteers as well as for paid work.

   Mark and Ken cleaned out our garage,for which I am so proud of Mark for getting past the laziness thing. As for Ken, well, he's still Ken. It seems he's still concerned with my opinion of him, for whatever reason. Their are few things sadder to me than a fear of others' opinions of you, especially in guy-girl relationships. Even if the guy is not really interested, for the most part, he's literally afraid of what the girl thinks of him. This leads me to believe that most  "serious" relationships are sadly built on familiarity and not too much on love. "He was there, and I was there, so…" Ooh, sounds like fun all around.

  Not that I have a lot of room to talk. Miss "Been on one date since moving out here", and coming out of a long-term brain fart, oh, I mean, relationship. And the fact that the people I live with are the least familiar with me, and also afraid of what I think of them. Ugh. It can't just be me. Seriously, what makes me so scary? Because I don't keep my thoughts secret , ro take a poll? Have mercy.

   Anyway, blessings are coming at breakneck speeds, including the numerous donations today, meeting new people, getting to know others better, seeing God at work in my life, and His work in others' lives as well. That's it for now.
