When I feel most alive … go ahead, take your shoes off!

Well, because of Hurricanes Frances and Ivan, my departure for Florida is a bit delayed. I am staying for a bit longer until things look better down there. Maybe I will leave next Monday. Who knows?

While the rain and wind might be down in Florida, up here there is Hurricane Leila! I am liking Hurricane Leila. She’s making things exciting in my life right now!

But I am torn between being here and being there. I am excited to go and start working with the IT Team and doing some programming, but I am really enjoying spending time with Leila here in MD, and being together for a bit longer will be really nice. I hate to get so much joy out of a situation that many people are suffering through, but I’ll take it as a blessing from God.

It will be hard to be gone and away from her. Thankfully, I know God has a plan for us, and it is the best thing possible for both of us, even though it might not seem like it right now!

When I came home this summer I didn’t plan on meeting a really wonderful girl who I like alot right before leaving for Florida! For the last 7 years, I have never had a serious relationship with any girl, and I have been on only a few dates, so this is something pretty new to me. But it is so exciting!

Although it is exciting and fun, it has also been challenging to me. I have learned that I am a very selfish person, by nature, and I have to fight that sinful nature and let the Spirit enable me to love her unselfishly! Let’s just say I do a lot of praying these days!

I am not sure where it’s going but I am ready for whatever God has for us! It’s going to be an exciting adventure!
