So if you guys haven’t heard, I have a girl friend. (as Wendy Riddle would say, “so exciting")Its ok, if it freaks you out to see me holding a beautiful Hispanic girls hand, Brad and TJ are still freaking out. (its so fun to watch) Her name is Adriana Cervantes and she has been an absolute blessing in my life. I love the fact that our God is a God of opportunity and isn’t a God of control. After spending a season or two as a single man seeking after the whispers of God, I have now entered a season of seeking God while pursuing a woman. God has given me an amazing opportunity with an absolutely amazing woman. I don’t deserve this opportunity, but I’ am blessed through it. It may come or go (I most defiantly hope it wont go), but I have the freedom to grab it or let go of it. I have chosen to grab this opportunity loosely as to hear God in this midst of this new season. I want to honor God through this relationship and glorify him in it. (Oh, and the pic above is us in front of R.E.I. the best outdoors store ever!!!)

I know I've already told you this a couple times, but she's adorable! We still need to have you two munchkins over for dinner sometime. Play another rousing game of Scattergories.
So exciting, indeed :)
definitely exciting. I happen to be a huge fan of your girlfriend.
Balancing the ways and will of God with those of a fledgling relationship is not always easy. It seems I have always gotten lost in relationships - forgetting who I was and what my spiritual needs were. As a woman of a certain age, my priorities are family and finding my way toward a close and fulfilling path I walk with the Creator. My job is to live my life to the fullest, not afraid to put myself out there. I wish I was closer to CA so I could watch my children as they grow as individuals and as beings in love. But as I'm not, I need to trust they are cared for by someone more powerful than I.
