Live Like You're Dying

I can't believe it has taken me so long to write about the happiest day of my life (to date).  I got engaged to an amazing Godly man!  Ask any one who knows me and they'll tell you am passionate.  Two things I'm passionate about are my faith, and Texas A&M.  Cale combined the two of them into the best proposal I could have ever asked for! Well, I thought Cale and I went up to A&M for the weekend to celebrate with two of our friends for their birthday and to go to eat for our 5 month anniversary (for the record, Cale has celebrated every month anniversary).  So we packed up and left Houston Saturday morning for College Station.  Lucky for him, I accidentally played into his plan because I told him earlier that week I wanted to make sure I spent time with my girl friend, Shaye, for her birthday.  I called Shaye Thursday night to see what her plan was for the weekend and she said she just wanted to be lazy Saturday so we went up there and I had no makeup on.

WOW the feedback I have gotten from my "Fairytales" blog is AMAZING!!!  I am so happy women and men were able to relate to it.  Something that stood out in several emails, FB messages, texts and conversations was this idea that young women had that they didn't deserve a Christian man because of the mistakes they have made in the past.  Or this idea that she wasn't "Christian" enough to deserve a man of faith.

"Have faith in your dreams and someday Your rainbow will come shining through. No matter how your heart is grieving , If you keep believing , The dream that you wish will come true." Cinderella As little girls we daydream about our Fairytale Wedding.. As we get older, I don't think we stop wanting a fairytale relationship; I just think our concept of fairytale changes.  No longer are we entranced with the Disney and Hollywood's "Happily Ever After", no now we want the things that matter.  We realize no relationship is perfect.  We want a man to honor and respect us, to love us; as Christians we want that man to lead us.  To put God at the center of his life and serve us as his first line of ministry, just as a woman should have her husband be her first line of ministry. As a single woman in Dallas, I am encouraged when I see God in relationships, encouraged that maybe my generation can change the divorce trend in the United States.  With so ma
