1- I woke up in an awful mood. I am sad. Confused. Hurt. Lost. I have spent my entire morning talking and crying out to God. I am... a mess. Before Sunday I had been doing great.
I recently put myself back out there in the dating scene. I had my first date with a gentleman last night, went to Starbuck's and talked for two hours. It was so nice. I was nervous. It is so frightening to put myself back "out there" again. I want to hide my heart to every man I meet, but at the same time I want to date. I am so ready to meet someone who gets me, who gives me what I need, who is in love with Christ just as much, if not more, than I am! Who is willing to fight for love, who won't leave me when things get tough, who will work through things together instead of pushing it all onto me to fix. This is scary. Maybe that's it... I am scared. Pray for me and my heart, friends.
2-Today also isn't fun because I feel completely awful. Doing a 5k in 45 degree weather on Saturday ruined my body! It aches, my throat is sore and I am congested. Yuck! I didn't do as well as I thought I would, being as how in shape I am, BUT I did do so much better this years run than last years! So hooray for that accomplishment!
3- I chopped my hair off! And I love it!! I forgot how much I love having short hair!
4- Did you see the new feature on the blog? I am so excited for Fashion Fridays with Heather! I love that girl!
5- I am throwing in a picture of Jax bear because he is just too stinkin' cute! (he was trying to sleep)

:( i hope you feel better friend! praying for you today, for sure.
ps your hair is cuuuuuute!
Oh sweetie! My heart hurts for you! : ( I am sorry you are hurting and scared. I hope you can find comfort in the arms of Jesus!
Praying He will bring you the right man in His perfect timing!
I can't imagine being back out on the scene. It scares me to think if it, so I can completely understand your fear. I'm so sorry. You're in my thoughts.
I love the hair! You are gorgeous!! I hope you feel better. I know how rough that stuff feels, I battled it and laringitis at the beginning of last week and I can't seem to shake my cough, especially at night time. I really do hope you feel better though.
And the dating scene is rough. I try to convince myself that the only reason I'm single is because I don't have time to date anybody with school, but I know that if there was really somebody who was a wonderful guy and was a good christian guy that I would make time. My twelve year old niece informed me last night that I was getting old and before long I was going to be old and single. I just have so many doubts and little confidence about myself. I want something real and I don't want to get hurt. Okay I'm rambing, but you are definately in my thoughts!
I'm so sorry your heart is hurting. I'm praying for you! Follow where God leads you. Don't rush things.
I love your hair! You're beautiful!
Good luck on the dating scene, it takes courage to do that, so good for you! There is somebody perfect out there for you!
put yourself out there...when I did I met my husband. he's out there for you!
plus...you look totally hot with that new do!
I love your hair! So pretty!
And God has the right person for you! Ill be praying for you though!
How can a girl be so sad when looking so hot?! I pray for you, dating=yuck. BUT make it fun and enjoy this time. God has a Mr Right, he may not be ready for you, so God needs to groom him a little more :-)

Love that cute hair!
so glad you are guarding your heart. God will show you when it is time to open up to the right one!
LOOOVEEE your hair!!
Lovve the hair and color too! I'm so sorry it hurts! I haven't finished my "love story" on my blog yet but since you are sad I am giving you a glimpse of the silver lining. It took me a whole year to get over my ex and I even went miles away to another state as a summer missionary for fear of seeing him around my home town. It was there I found healing from the Lord and the courage to allow my heart to grow back. The reward eventually was my husband but at that time my reward was a sweet sweet walk with Him in which I would have missed out on if i had not faced the fear of healing and of being whole ...because that's scary sometimes too. Allow your heart to be exposed to Him and He will meet you and "give strength to your bones". Isaiah 51:11 says--
Those the LORD has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
i'm sorry you don't feel good. but, running a 5k and going on a first date! girl, you have a lot to be proud of. and i'm so happy that you are relying on god, he will get you through. love.
I am so praying for you, I just found your blog, and I adore it already!
Putting yourself out there is super scary, for anyone, but you have to remember the positives, you don't know if when you go out with someone, if you will be meeting the right one. If you remember all the positives then I am sure you'll be fine! :)

Your haircut is adorable, love it!!! I'm glad you had a good date with a gentleman! Just know that waiting for the RIGHT one will be SOOOOO worth it in the end. Just keep trusting Jesus, He knows. :)
Sorry to hear you're feeling kind of blah. I can fully understand that, so don't be afraid to take some time to let God heal you. I'll be praying for you.
And I <33 your new haircut. You look dashing. :]
Listen here, missy :) You better not give up on love. Because the right one is out there for you. You'll meet plenty of guys before you meet "prince charming", but you will, and it will be all worth it. SMILE! Because you are beautiful. And I love your new hair. Very very sassy! :)
Your hair looks beautiful! Rock your inner and outer beauty with confidence. You might kiss a few more frogs before you find your prince, but you'll get there sooner rather than later.
praying for you. hope your day got better. your hair looks adorable!
Aww, girl. The beginning of this actually made me tear up. I hate that you are hurting, because you are SO beautiful, inside and out, and you will find that perfect one for you. I hope you never settle for anything less!
PS - Your hair looks AWESOME!!!!
Noooooo! Now I want to chop off my hair too!
Your hair is super cute! I hope you find something to smile about today! Will be saying a prayer for your heart. Thinking about you. And Jax is adorable:)
I'm hoping you find exactly what you are looking for...I'm sure you will.
Your hair looks cute!
I hope you are feeling better today. It is so hard to make ourselves vulnerable to another person, to open up and trust them with our heart. I'll be praying! I absolutely love your hair! Jax is adorable!
I am so so sorry that you had a rough Monday... I completely understand how hard dating can be but I promise it will be worth it. Enjoy it and embrace it... You get to make new friends and have new adventures. Thinking of you and praying for you!! Come visit us in Houston!!!!
xoxoxoxoxox
ps LOVE the new hair!!!!
Cute hair!!
I saw you post on Christina's wall (Skip to My Lou) and saw you are from Orlando too! How fun!
Did you run the Race Nona 5k on Saturday?! Christina, her fiance and I did also! =)
New followers =)
Good luck with the dating scene -- it can definitely be hard and intimidating. Keep your head up girl!
What a fabulous, fresh haircut!! You look gorgeous!!
Dating is so tough, but throwing yourself out there is the first (and scariest) step. And you're already ahead of the game because you know what you want. Although it may seem hard to find at first, it will help you weed out the loser guys and get to Mr. Perfect even faster!! Hang in there!
Hope you're feeling better today, sending you many hugs and prayers!! xo
