What an awesome weekend.
So full of great things. Friday
night I played Bunco with a group of woman from my high school days…. We laugh
so much that honestly when I leave I’m so worn out; which is not a bad
thing. We all have known each other since
grade school or there about… That is a
long time!
Saturday we had a car show at church. Sounds funny but it was a fund raiser and we
had an awesome turnout. I volunteered
for the morning but afterwards I went home, changed and went back with my
boyfriend (still sounds funny) where we met 2 of his children and
grandkids. We had such a great
afternoon. Afterwards we went to a
crawfish boil. Oh my gosh there was Cajun
music, dancing and lots and lots of crawfish!
My thoughts…….. too much work for the miniscule payoff… But we spent more time with his kids and
getting to know them and vice versa. I
guess I passed the test to the point that he knew it was time to begin
introducing me to them.
So, the day was really full and blessed beyond words. Sunday after church the afternoon was so
beautiful that I could not resist cooking out.
Chicken on the grill! Yum! I invited Steve over since I’m pretty sure he
doesn’t get many home cooked meals.
Last night we had an interesting talk. I asked him about God. How he feels about his relationship… where he
is headed (not with me). Since he lost
his wife I can’t shake the thoughts of several things… none of which are ready
for paper. He thought intently on
this. Finally he said, “I told you from
the beginning I was looking for someone that wanted the same things I did, God!”
Someone to walk along this journey and to encourage spiritual growth from both
sides. When I looked up at him he had
tears in his eyes. He blinked for a
minute and wiped the tears away. I don’t
think I’ll ever know what that was about, but I just reached over and held
him. He is a blessing to me and my life
and I hope I am to his.
One thing I made clear; no matter where he stands, no matter
what direction he wants to go in, IF it does not align with my direction with
God then we will part company. No one
can predict the future but I am certain that if I were to take my life back
into my own plans and designs, it will implode and I will become irritable and
discontent. Go figure.
So, we are good, life is good. I did have a heart aching call though. I missed a call from “R”. When I called him back on Sunday he seemed
cold or distant. He said I’m sure you
were busy last night on a date at the movies or something. His voice seemed almost sad. I didn’t respond. I am none of his business. The conversation ended pretty quickly. I was sad for a minute but living my life as
he has told me to do for the past 10 years.
And, I AM HAPPY.
