The HookUp

Hello There!!! Busy busy week friends!!!

Just to recap, Mondays after work I aways spend time with Frances. TuesdayI went in to work early, had a fun birthday lunch for two lovely ladies, I worked late and went to the gym. Wednesday I went into work early, and I had the James eLife group after work {love those people} and Thursday I went in early, and worked late and ended it at the gym. Friday work was great, as always, and  last night I went to Decatur for THE HOOKUP.

oh, the H o o k u p

A few weeks ago I wrote about something that I don't talk about too often and that a lot of people don't know about me. You can read that post here. Last night was all about everything that I have always stood for when it comes to relationships and dating. It was amazing to be in a room packed full of people from teenage years to upper sixties all making the decision from that point in there life, on, to live a life

100% committed to God, pure, trusting him with our lives, our relationships, our love, and getting all of the junk that can harm relationships out of the way. 

I made that vow of purity to God when I was younger and if you know me, you know that when I say I'm going to do something, I stick to that and I keep my promises. I have and I'm proud to say that. But going to the Hookup opened my eyes to so many other reason as to why I chose this path. I guess since I've never put myself in the position, I never realized how many emotional ties and baggage that sex outside of marriage adds to someones life. That breaks my heart. I feel like its the hardest since I'm now in my mid-twenties and people have a hard time understanding. The hookup helped me realize that the decision I made is the right one, no matter how old I am.

The HookUp was fantastic and I am so thankful that God has put me in a place where I am being taught the word of God. I am learning and growing. The leaders in this church live a life completely surrendered to God and he is using every single one of them in incredible ways. I am in love friends. Completely in L O V E and so incredibly thankful. 

YES! Celebration.

It's my F R I D A Y loves.

I'm pretty much over-the-the-moon and back about it. And the icing on the cake is that Raeghan will be here when I get off and will be here until MONDAY! How amazing is that. We went an entire weekend without seeing each other which hasn't happened in almost two months. So glad she's back in my life so stinking much.

Tonight we are heading to Nashville for a little fun. H O C K E Y. 

There's a special reason that I bought these tickets for us. 

I bought them for a Valentines Day gift to us simply because I am proud of the women that we have grown into. Yes, we are both single but I didn't buy them on the Lovey Dovey day just to make ourselves feel better, the reason is so much more than just that fact. There is no reason at all to mope around on Valentines Day just because you don't have anyone to share that day with. WE DO!! There are SO many people to love on every single day. 

Raeghan and I both have chosen to live our lives by the word of God and stay true to Purity.

Despite how difficult and frustrating it can be, we know that God is so much stronger than any desire that we could ever feel. I know that waiting on my guy, the perfect guy, will be completely worth the wait, the frustration and sometimes even a lot of heartache. 

I've figured out over the last year that there are so many more things in this life to focus on other than finding my guy. For me, it can be a trust issue with God sometimes and it can be really easy to wonder why I'm doing everything the right way, and still he isn't showing up. 

I trust and know God has someone amazing for me and his plan is all I want for my life. 

So, this is what our weekend is all about. Celebrating that fact that God has given us both the strength and his perfect wisdom to stay true to the vow that we have made. It is something to be proud of and I am!

That's all for now! Thanks for reading!!!

AND GO BOLTS!!!
