As I sit here writing this blog (wait I start alot of blogs off with that, oh well), I actually started writing some of it a week ago and never finished it so I decided to start over, I'm sitting here in my hotel room staring out the window at this beautiful view that God has given me. Really, words can't explain. So today was the National Gingerbread Contest at the Grove Park Inn, which this place in itself blows me away. There were so many amazing houses and alot of competition.
And although we didn't win anything, it was an AMAZING experience and I am so glad Wendy and I did this. The most important thing was that we can say we did it. It was a stressful/crazy day and my mind was off in a million places. Started off really rocky for me too.....but anyways, nonetheless Wendy kept my mind off things. But all in all, I am greatly pleased with the way things turned out. And by the way, we really do have the cutest log cabin ever! And I'm not just bein biased.....well maybe a little. Anyways, it has been quite a while since I have posted anything on here, since the wreck anyways, and alot has happened. Let's see, I finally got a new car. My little Jeep Liberty which is so much fun, but I work my butt off to have that car. More importantly, everything is working out pretty well. I started listening to the sermons from the pastor from Mosaic Church, Naeem Fazal. Let me just say that I really relate to him and understand him and he is just amazing! My friend Thad does the podcasts for Mosaic and so he told me I should give them a listen. But I love them, and I actually want to start going there. I think it will have to be a gradual transition for me what with telling mom and dad and all. But I have really grown and learned alot from Naeem's sermons. If you have never heard of Mosaic you should check them out they pretty much rock (under podcasts on ITunes as Mosaic Church - Charlotte or online at www.mosaicchurch.tv). But the last series I just finished was REDEFINED and the last one of that was on relationships. I won't go into details but it really solved alot of problems me and a friend were having. It talked alot about no matter if you and that person are still talking or whatever that the issues need to be solved because it can kinda pave the way to what the rest of your relationships are like. So needless to say we are ok and I think somethings have been solved. Others will come with time. So yea, Mosaic ROCKS my socks! And Thad is amazing. Let me just say, the fact that I can talk to this guy and he to me about anything without either of us getting freaked out, thats awesome. I really feel a good connection to him and I see us potentially becoming greater friends than we already are. I really don't have many people I can have deep intellectual conversations with and him I can. So ThadMac, if you are reading this, thanks for being such and awesome friend and listener. Well, it has been a long few days and I am on about 4 hours of sleep so I better head to bed so I can get some sleep in this beautiful hotel! More to come later.....
