So, it's been a while. One of my New Year's resolutions was to blog more. Little behind on that one already. Maybe my new MacBook will inspire me to be more consistent as a blogger.
As I'm writing this, I'm also downloading cd's that Chris made for me. One is titled "Before You"; the other is appropriately titled "After You." "Before You" includes such songs as Girls, Girls, Girls (Motley Crue) and The Lord Loves the Drinkin' Man (Kevin Fowler); "After You" has songs such as Love Story (Taylor Swift) and Everything I Do (Bryan Adams). Very creative :-)
In all seriousness, Chris and I have had several conversations about how much we have changed in the past year; most notably, how much we have changed each other. Even reading through my past entries, I realize how much progress I've made even in the last six months. I'm moving forward. It took me a long time to let go of my time in New York; for up to a year after I moved there were times when I wondered if I should still be there, when I wanted to still be there. That's not where my life is now; actually, I really like where I am now. Life in Fort Worth is continuing the grow on me.
As I look back in retrospect, I understand more and more that God takes us through certain times to prepare us for our future. I needed that time in my life to live for myself, to experience that independence, so that one day I would be ready to share my life with someone else. I explored the world on my own, everyday learning more about who I was and who God was to me. In all honesty, I'm continuing to do that; however, now it's more through the lens of another person.
