Diary of My Single Life

There is one part of being single that I find quite challenging. The waiting is hard; but the most challenging is the men in your life. Being single, as long as I have, I have found many a man that I have been interested in. They come.....and they go! They come into your life; you are attracted to them; you find them easy to talk to, and they have a great sense of humor; they love the Lord, so on and so on. These men are the one's you start thinking that this is the "one" you've been waiting for. Then you, either, lose interest in them because you found that they aren't exactly what you want; or they start dating or courting someone else, when you thought they were interested in you; or they are much younger than you and you can't wrap your head around being with them; or it's one of those men that you just can't get out of your mind, and it's the long drawn out process of liking them for so long that it will come to complete heartache, AGAIN! Well, at the moment, I'm dealing with one of these areas....and no doubt it might end up, yet again, that this man is not who God has chosen for me. I have come to find that throughout these years, I have become prone to this constant merry-go-round that I feel nothing will change; that I will be single forever and will continue this monotonous ride. But.......I hear God's promise to me that this will not go on forever. Sometimes I find doubt in His promise and lose hope. Oh how much I don't want to do that to my God! But He lifts me up after everytime I lift up my sorrows to Him, and I once again find hope in His promise.
I know he's coming, the man I'll love!

Introducing......... The White Dress! O n Saturday, we had the Robin Hood and Maid Marian Berry Thyme Ball! This ball was held in our local ballroom, which is rare. This ball seemed to me the best ever! I think it was the Ballroom atmosphere, with the decorations, the beautiful dresses and the *ahem* very handsome men. I believe my dress helped in how much I enjoyed this ball too, as funny as it sounds. It turned out great! I put some blood, sweat and tears into it. It was well worth the work to hear the compliments I got. Thank you, again, to the Plett's, for all your hard work in hosting these balls! And thanks to Laura for making those beautiful hair wreaths!! They were beautiful! Enjoy the pictures! I wish I took more, but I had to dance, right?! Laura K. in her beautiful dress!
