Another Cubs game, another loss

Well, I went to another Cubs game yesterday and they lost. It was a really frustrating game. I try to hold out hope and believe, but it gets quite difficult in games like yesterday. Of course, I will always be a die-hard Cubs fan -- win or lose.
Maybe the Cubs are like my life... I continue to have so much hope only to be disappointed. Life has been a bit frustrating lately. Concerning my future and a job, I am still incredibly lost. I'm often afraid to hope...for a good job, for a good man, for friends. I'm not as strong as I seem. (I didn't get the Wheaton College job and I am incredibly confused). I need God's strength and I am trusting that he has a plan for my life and a reason for my wandering. I just wish I had a glimpse of his plan...

Dana...something that you pointed out to me a while ago, but i think about, and i have been lately, is that you have to be greatful for what you have now, and know that God has a plan for everyone, and even though you didn't get that job at wheaton, God has something different in mind for you. Also, i love the Cubs too, and i have been watching them lately too. You will have to give me a call sometime before the 24th and we should have coffee

Forgiven and Free

I've come to the revelation that I don't love people (other than my family, which I love fiercely). I'm not trying to be funny and I'm not being mean. I care for people and I genuinely show love and care, but deep down in my sinful, deprived soul, I don't truly love people. Let me explain... I've been hurt a lot by friendships. Numerous times I have let my guard down and tried to be real, just to have those people walk away from me for no reason. So I've put up walls and guarded my heart. I'll share only what is safe, but I struggle to be vulnerable and real. Years ago I went to counseling to help me with being more vulnerable (and my perfectionist nature). I grew a lot and after about a year, I connected with my future husband and allowed my walls to come down. I praise the Lord for him and allowing me to be real. My husband is a gift from God, but I still struggle with my female friendships. Guy friendships always seem to be easier to me. Maybe it ...

Simple and Sweet

So, Saturday I found and bought my wedding dress (no, I am not posting any pictures). Monday, I found my bridesmaids' dresses. Yea! It's all coming together. I still don't have any pictures to post. I tried to post one, but it didn't work. So, I have to find a different picture. I'll try to do it soon. Sorry!

We Have a Date!

The wedding date is set: Friday, March 2. I've already booked our church, our pastor, and the reception hall. Whew. I've been busy. Luckily, I already knew where I wanted the reception to be held and since I'm doing a Friday evening, it was easier to book the reception hall. My mom, Kara (my sister and matron-of-honor), and I are looking at dresses this Saturday. How fun! I already found one that I REALLY like online at David's Bridal. So, we are heading there first on Saturday. Jess bought me a wedding planning book -- wow! I had no idea that there were so many things to do! Plus, most people start almost a year in advance and I'm doing it in six months. Oh well. The work is well worth the short wait. So, how am I doing with posting so far? Look, Amanda, two blogs in one week! You must be proud of me. Still no pictures as Walter has been out of town and I don't have a camera. Hopefully, I will have some for you soon.
