Ok, so I'm sure that I've probably lost a lot (I know I'm delusional, but I like to imagine that had a large following) of followers, due to my lag in posting; however, I have had nothing but difficulty with getting set up with the new Internet Explorer 9, in order to resume blogging. I'm still not set-up...I'm just borrowing someone else's computer at the moment (you'd think that doing this would've occurred to me a long time ago, but, no, all book sense & no common sense). I was initially so resistant to upgrading my browser. Yet my fans (1 friend, to be exact) began pleading to me to post something new, as I just kind of left everyone hanging since the last update on my love life. Well, I finally caved-in and decided to upgrade my laptop. When I attempted to download IE 9, not only did it fail, but I was also unable to even open a browser (the litte blue internet "e" icon)....and, I have been without internet every since...approximately a month, I believe. You'd think that would put me in panic mode and that I wouldn't know what to do with myself, but the time spent with my new Beau has more than made up for this relative minor frustration (you know, everything seems so much nicer when you're in love).
Now as for the new man:
We are still going strong. He's wonderful...brilliant, has wisdom (not being redundant here b/c true wisdom is distinct from this world's standard of intelligence & comes solely from a strong relationship with God), patient, and compassionate. Some would say that he's the yang to my ying, but since I'm a Christian & such talk is contrary to God, I'll just say that he compliments me ever so well! Although similar to me in many regards, in other regards, he's total opposite. Whereas I tend to be Type A & keep my own neuroticism at bay by planning & lists, he is a let's savor each moment and take each day one by one kind of guy...this of course makes me laugh, since I've always claimed to be a Matthew 6:25 girl. Yet, being in his presence, his relaxed demeanor calms & comforts me and allows me to see that I've got some more relaxing to learn how to do before I can continue to assert that I live by Matthew 6:25; however, he's not perfect. & I love this fact b/c it allows me to be me & to not feel guilty about my shortcomings...instead, he inspires me just that more to improve (& this has always been a daily personal goal of mine). But, let's not get it twisted (lol). I bring some good stuff to the table as well, and he seems to recognize that...he even verbalizes this endlessly. He seems to really value me in a way I've never experienced before. I believe love is more than a word, & now, I believe (Than you, Heavenly Father), I finally know what it feels like! I could blog a whole lot more, but I think that this is a good stopping place for now...please be patient with me on the long pauses between posts, as I work out my browser issues & stay tune.

At Last...
At Last...My Love Has Come Along...My lonely days are over. And life is like a song!
Yes, that's right...I have a new & special person in my life. Thus far, we are wonderful together. I had a conversation with God, prior to meeting him & I asked that the next man in my life be my husband. I explained to God that I had no desire to date & to go back-and-forth on the emotional roller coaster...I finally got off of the last one & was just too exhausted to revisit that! Did I mention how we met?
Ok, so we met in my favorite store. We were both one of four people in line at the register. I was speaking to an individual behind me, but I overheard the conversation between him and the guy in front of him. He was witnessing (as a Christian) to the other guy & mentioned that he was relatively new in his own salvation. At the conclusion of their conversation, I congratulated him on his salvation. He, very excitedly, flashed his pearly whites with an emphatic "thanks!". He paid for his item, told the cashier to keep the change to pay for my purchase, and left out of the store. I thought that was it, but he actually waited outside. Long story short...he and I had a long conversation about God & Christianity--a subject we are both passionate about--in the front of the store. & We've been inseparable every since. I value our time together and look forward to our future (seems premature, right?, but I'm convinced that God sent him specifically for me).

The New Me!!!!
I already feel refreshed! I'm not sure whether this new blog will take off or be a flop, but I can do no harm by being honest. I feel very unsettled, currently. I have uprooted, my professional life remains at a stand-still, and I am single and searching (well, actually, trying to wait...please, God, soon?). I am learning new things about myself and the people in my life everyday. Although I can't foresee the future, I anticipate great things. I refuse to believe that my best years are behind me...30's are the new 20's, and especially for me, since I wasted (ok, God--I spent) my entire 20s, caught up in a one-sided relationship. But, enough about the past. I'd like to keep it just that...in the past. I'm looking forward and concentrating on discharging my own baggage and growing so that I can enhance my new, one-and-only, love-of-my life, prince-of-a-husband...wow, he will be one privileged man, & if I know my God, I will be thoroughly pleased! Thanks in advance, Father, for you know me well!
