Faith, Hope, and Love

This weekend has, for some reason, gone by so slowly. I have worked, cleaned, shopped, kept Grey, had a lunch date, visited family in from out of town, and checked all my email. Right now, I am sitting here with a lot on my mind and having no such luck sorting it all out. For the past couple of weeks, I have played "Dear Abby" to my best friend about her new relationship. I suppose when people become involved and start living together there is an adjustment period that possibly can be painful and exciting at the same time. I have been concerned and cautious for her, however; I think it will all work out for the best. Now, that being said, I do often have trouble coexisting alongside several couples that are truly happy inside of their relationships. Most of the time my jealously is over-ridden by the satisfaction I experience knowing that these people actually found someone that could stand them enough to be with them the majority of everyday. It gives me hope in a strange sense that maybe it is just around the corner for me.

I believe in God and all his power and glory and I understand that he has a plan. Faith by definition is the belief in the trustworthiness of an idea or person. On paper, I comprehend the meaning and the concept, on the other hand, I am so lost when it comes to actually executing this process. I know it sounds like I am contradicting God and his teachings by saying that I have trouble with blind faith but I feel that in my quest for getting to know myself again I should be honest. There are days that I am afraid. Often I become so stressed over these fears that I can think of nothing else. Other days I simply don't care about any of it.

Lately, I haven' t been giving any of it much thought at all. Just trying to live in the moment and maintain the bliss that comes with letting go of all the dead weight has been my only goal. So you can imagine my surprise when people who are in relationships come around asking for advice. Now, this isn't bitterness that you are hearing in a toneless blog, it's confusion. I hope that the advice I give others when they solicite it is sound and good. Actually, I enjoy them coming to me with their day in and day out trials because it makes me feel involved in their lives and that the trust me. Basically they are putting their faith in me even though I struggle with it myself. Most people want similar accomplishments during their lives and I am no different. Even though I am a pleaser by nature I have yet to find a soul similar enough to my own to take me on as a project.

My Nana reads this blog pretty regular and after reading my last post gave me a bible verse that I thought was appropriate for the particular passage.

There are three things that will endure--faith, hope, and love--- and the greatest of these is love. 1 Cor. 13:11-13

I love this verse so I thought I would share it with all of you guys.

P.S. My little sister, Taylor, called and left me a voice mail today telling me that one of her teeth is loose. She has never lost a tooth before and was super excited to tell me about it and that the Tooth Fairy would have to come visit soon. Can't wait to hear the rest of the story.

Thats all for now, have a happy week.
