Now is the time
Ok, it been a while, a long while...over a year while, since I've been on a date but I have one planned for Sunday. This will be my first "real" date since becoming a born again Christian. I had a lunch date last December but I don't really call that a real date. My last real date was in August of 2004...how funny is that. I'm a little excited but at same time as a little nervous. I don't know him. My friend that I met at church has been trying to set us up for a while. I have met him once but at the time I had no clue he was the one she was talking about when she said she had someone in mind that she wanted me to meet. So it's kinda like a blind date which is a little scary in itself because I don't know what to expect.
At this time in my life I really don't feel like it's the right time for me to be seeing someone since I have all these issues with myself but I just going to make the best of the opportunity. God has been dealing with me for a while on this and I feel like He has told me before that once I totally surrender it all to Him, that the special one that I long so much to meet, is waiting right around the corner for me, along with all the other blessings He has stored up for me.
When I surrender to Him, it will free me to live the life I was created to live. I hate being held back and missing out on experiencing things that I could have if I wasn't in stuck in this situation. God has a good life planned for me but I need to stay on His path and not my own path. I'm very thankful though that by the grace of God, He is able to turn the bad into good and He make it serve only to the advancement toward perfection in Christ Jesus.
I am doing better at obeying Him and my mind set is slowing being changed. I'm starting to view food the way God intends us to view food but it's a process that I will have to take step by step, day by day. I'm in need of His strength so I won't be discouraged to give up because I don't want to have to pick myself up once again. This is the time to surrender it all and I feel like God is really dealing with me on this issue more than ever because it's time to move. I can't play around and stall anymore...now is the time.

Thank you, i'll try :-) It's the coolest thing that I can rest in peace about the date because I'm special and made perfect because of who I am in Christ and because I know the one in control.
