Good-Bye 2010

Well 2010 is coming to an end. This year has just been amazing. I have grown in so many areas. Firstly I have grown in my relationship with God. This year i have really learned to hear His voice and to follow it in my life. At the beginning of the year God told me not to kiss anyone until after i say "I do." I was not too hot on this idea. At the time i had not yet had my first kiss but was anxiously anticipating it to happen soon. It was not until i involuntarily turned my head during a moment i had only imaged happening. Seth a tall, muscular, quarterback (who at the time was what i thought to be a perfect guy) was coming toward me with puckered lips, ready to kiss me. I could not believe it. At the last moment, right before our lips were to touch... I turned my head! I was so confused to why i had done it. But it became immediately clear to me. After I made it clear to him that I was not going to kiss him he began saying how he had kissed many other girls and even gone all the way a few times. How I was the one missing out. I should feel privileged and he wanted to kiss me. It was then that i realized why God wanted me to wait. Seth took kissing and even sex as no big deal, as a minor activity. He wanted to be my fist just so he could add another tally mark to his list. I am so thankful that i did not waist my first kiss on someone who does not fear the LORD, know His word and care about me. This year i learned to trust in the LORD. He has my back! Before the earth was even created He hand picked my husband. So why waist time dating around, being involved and breaking-up when all i need to do is wait on the LORD and on His perfect timing? This has been an amazing year. I can not wait to see where i will be this time next year. 2010 was a great year and 2011 will be even better. By this time next year i will have been at Oral Roberts University for about four months. Oh how i can not wait to be away at college. God has an amazing plan for my life and i expect to live my life in His way, His time, His plan.
