Heartbreaker
Every now and then people ask you; are you a heart breaker. Have you broken the heart of a previous lover. Hmmm. Me of course not...or so I thought.Being a heart breaker is often seen as characteristic trait of most guys and girls. I never thought I would have to be given that title.After reading though old bulletin posts on the infamous MYSPACE I noticed a bulletin left by an ex boyfriend of mine entitled "my firsts." Me being the curious person that I am...curious not nosy! lol...... I decided to read what he had as a response to the questions...I found my name listed twice, Shame.I was his first prom date and the first to break his heart...what a bad combination.Anyway that left me feeling kinda down...I don't wanna be known as a heart breaker. It's almost as bad as being a tease if you ask me. I immediately remembered what events led up to me breaking his heart and that made me feel worse. It wasn't anything too bad. Common scenario. He loved me and I did not reciprocate the feeling. We were young...my first real boyfriend in high school. He ended up telling me three years later that he loved me and we hadn't dated since freshman year. Anyway by that time in my life I had moved on and not once had I felt the sightly feeling of love for him, Is that a bad thing? Does that make me a bad person? Nah it happens every once and again to people everywhere. I just hope I won't be given that title again!
Giving God Glory
HAPPY NEW YEAR!Starting at the beginning of this year my Pastor began teaching from the book Purpose Driven Life written by Rick Warren.....as a church family we studied this book back in 2004 but God must have instructed Pastor to teach it again. I said I would try to make it to every night but it hasn't happened. I remembered back in 2004 when Pastor right told the congregation he wanted us to be in church every evening for 40 nights in a row.....I literally thought he had lost his mind. After 40 nights (some missed due to evening classes) I felt I had learned a lot and I was grateful to have been able to participate. Now that the time is here again I am still anxious to attend class nightly...its always a pleasure to be in the House of the Lord to learn more about his word. I know I have grown spiritually over the last few years....God has brought me through a lot of trials in life.....I know he will forever be with me.One of the lessons is about giving glory to God in all you do......either early in the morning or late in the evening. The book tells you to do things that would give God glory. Pastor asked the question " are you giving God glory with the music you listen to, the clothes you wear, the TV shows you watch all hours of the night, and the food in which you indulge. All of these questions had me thinking and wondering....is God happy with the things I am doing in my life. Humans were put on Earth for God's pleasure. He created us in HIS image....he made us, and shaped us into the individual you see everyday in the mirror. I am PROUD to be a child of God and I promise to do my best to do things that glorify him. Even if that means coming out of my comfort zone.
