Why hello. The name is Mary K. Nice to meet you. ::good hand shake:: Oh no, the pleasure is all mine. Hope to be seen a bit more often. Thanks for coming by.


No, please don't fall out of your chair in shock or fall over because it is the big one. This is really a new post. It may not have much substance since I am reaquainting myself with posting. Nevertheless, I am here.

Sorry for the length of the lapse. Lots going on. Always the roller coaster. In this interim, I actually road some real roller coasters too. Yeah BeastBuzz 2005.

Let's see, to reaquaint myself with you the reader I will do the obligatory mini update.

Work - stressful and not the most positive environment. (December 8th) There are a couple of "Pollys" that are there and they make life difficult. (December 8th) If you want to kow what a Polly is, e-mail me and I will send the description. I am plugging along, trying to get it all done and trying to help others along the way. I am doing my best to be a Pollyanna

School - Got an A in the Spring class I took. Yeah!! ::cheering:: I am taking a summer class as well. It is not as engaging as the class I had in the spring. I am reevaluating the whole school thing. I will not take any fall classes because I will be going on vacation just before finals would occur. (December 8th) So I will be looking at taking an online course where I will learn to teach English as a foreign language

Church - here is where a great deal of your prayers are covetted. Things there feel like "As the Stomach Turns". There is a great deal of spiritual warfare going on. There is also some power struggle stuff and just some outright dissention in the body. Please pray for healing, humbling and a return to giving God the glory. thanks

Personal - Here is where a lot has gone on. First, big deal, I cancelledmy cable so I could save money and work on not watching so much TV. It is not easy being an adult. Second, I am still working within God's will while learning what a healthly romantic relationship should be. I really like and am liked back by W and it is great. We are at a critical point where we are on our knees before God seeking the next step and asking if the direction is pointing towards a permanent relationship. I hesitate to discuss this too much because I am learning to let W lead this relationship and he is investigating my thoughts and relating his thoughts back to me. No decisions have been made. Just LOTS of prayerful consideration. Also, I will be leaving on vacation on December 8th to go to Brazil where I will get to see W. He is graduating from seminary on the 10th of December. YEAH!!! ::cheering&jumping&dancing::

Spiritual - I have been in the Word on a regular basis and have been hearing God give me a little something everyday. That is GREAT! Where I am struggling is in a couple of historic sins that have had me bound for some time. I am praying for His guidance and His victory. I have been wavering between melancholy, joyful, exuberant and a fuzzy something that defies words. He will pull me through, even if it is kicking and screaming. :)

Well, that covers most of it and that is more than I expected. Thank you for the friendship you offer by reading adn keeping up with me.

May God's blessings fill your days and His mercy fill your life.

LoveLoveLove
