I can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t think about marriage. I think I started thinking seriously about it at age 6. By the time I was 10, I remember thinking to myself, “I could easily be married within 10 years!”. Once I turned 15, I was thinking about preparing for courtship. I’ve always wanted to be married. I’m not a girl who could live without my other half. I’m just built for marriage. Should that be surprising? I think one indication of one’s readiness for marriage is a restlessness in their desire to serve the Lord. I’m not saying a discontent or lack of self-satisfaction. I mean, I’ve come to the point in my life where I feel that I’ve done all my service in singleness, and I want to start serving as a wife, and eventually as a mother. The thought doesn’t scare me. It never really has, but now I look forward to it with more eagerness than ever before. I guess knowing who I want makes me want the marriage more. :) Yet, in my singleness, I must strive to serve for the Kingdom to the best of my ability. In the back of my mind I hear a voice saying, “you could be doing so much more.” I can’t wait until I’m in that situation, where I’m serving in all the ways I truly desire to.

4. “Oh captain, my captain!”

And here’s a new one:

Learning to not overreact to things really makes life more interesting. Sometimes it even makes the things that would ordinarily seem annoying actually be fun. I’ve been a little scatter-brained lately. I have no idea why, and I don’t think it has to do with the fact that I’m a woman. But I started driving the wrong way today, and a few minutes later casually thought, “Oh. I’m driving the wrong way.” Instead of getting all frustrated and wondering how I was going to turn around, I just figured I’d find some place to go. “So… what place sounds fun?” Of course, I then realized that I was driving in Spokane, and it doesn’t matter which direction I’m going; there’s nothing to see anywhere. Okay, eventually I turned around and my “adventure” was over. Boy, it was thrilling. Now I’m eating a hot dog in a hamburger bun. The excitement never stops with me.

A friend from CWSC asked me what county I reside in today. I told him I didn’t reside in a county. I reside in Oachita Parish. That reminded me of an article I read this morning. He did it right as I was on Ellen Hampton’s blog, which reminded me of the fact that someone impersonated me in a chat room the other day and started bashing Roman Catholics. That’s kinda how my mind works.

I don’t understand webtracking. I had 208 unique hits yesterday. Does that mean 208 people looked at my site yesterday? Or does that mean my site was clicked on 208 times.
