Lessons hard learned...

NEVER MAKE SOMEONE A PRIORITY IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU ARE JUST AN OPTION IN THEIRS!

I woke up thinking about someone I know. As hard as it is to admit sometimes, not everyone is going to think about/feel for/act toward us as we think they should. It could just be that they are just not that into you. One thing I have learned from having a couple of guy best friends in my younger days (Thanks, LA and Rodney!) is that, if a man is truly interested in being with you, he will move the stars, if possible, to let you know it. You will never have to wonder, try to figure it out, or chase him for the answer or the proof, etc. He will be quick to show it through his words AND his actions. Period. Point blank. End of story.

If a potential love interest's words and the actions do not agree, then stop allowing them to take up rent-free space in your head and heart. Seriously. It will sting for a minute, but that is FAR better than simmering on someone else's back burner. The truth is actually one of only a handful of things: 1) They are not looking for the same kind of relationship that you are; 2) They ARE looking for the same kind of relationship, just not with YOU; or 3) They want to keep you on the back burner in case they do not find the "something better" they are obviously looking for. None of those options are good enough for someone as fabulous, smart, blessed, and worthy as you. So, seriously, shake the dust off, pick your face up, and Keep.It.Moving. In truth, God has someone who WILL attempt to move the stars... just for you!

That was my public service announcement for the day. You are now free to move about the country! ;)

Have a great day, Loves!

Sidelined by a single-serve glass of wine

I woke up with a migraine this morning. Although I do suffer with headaches at times, it is rare that I get all the way to a full on migraine. Usually, I am able to stop it at the onset, but it started while I was sleeping. As a result, I had to pull out the major meds.

During this ordeal, a few key things happened. 1) A friend called and asked- out of the blue- what my kids may want for breakfast because she was coming this way; 2) My daughter learned that I had a headache and came in periodically and just laid hands on me and prayed quietly; 3) A new friend offered to come over and take care of me. Now, none of this may seem like a big deal, but I love how the Lord remembers us, particularly in times of suffering, and sends people alongside to help and comfort us.

As far as the headache goes, the only thing I did differently yesterday was to try one of those single serve glasses of wine. Clearly not one of my best ideas. I should probably stick to buying bottles of wine from vintners I know about and just risk much of it going to waste from disuse. Surely, the few bucks I may waste far outweighs the excruciating pain and the loss of an entire day as a result of migraine pain.

Lesson learned: Never drink cheap wine! LOL
