Sorting Through the Clutter
If you somehow were able to unearth my diary amidst the clutter of my room, then you would probably find something like this...

Wow...it's kinda amazing how emotions can fluctuate so much in a few days. Andrew and I have been going through some problems and misunderstanding in the past couple of days. I've been so confused and just generally kind of sad about what we we're going through. Really crappy feeling all weekend. Our 5 month anniversary on Saturday was spent unhappily together. But we had this amazing talk tonight. About lots of good stuff. We talked about our different views, on how we didn't see eye-to-eye on certain things but how we were going to try to accept it and work around it. We talked about our future and where we saw this relationship headed to. I'm so glad we had that talk. I love that boy a ridiculous amount. (haha..sorry, please don't gag). So we saw our first fight come and go. And I'm so happy that we emerged from it to find our relationship a little stronger and to find us a little closer. I know God is definitely guiding us in our relationship.

Let me tell you a story on why I know that prayer is powerful.

It was communion Sunday at my church, Little Bethel Community Church, this past Sunday. I love how the concept of Communion works in Little Bethel. We're able to individually receive communion and prayers of intercession. When I went up for communion, I asked Pastor Steve and Dave (one of the deacons) to pray for my relationship with Andrew and for a gradual spiritual presence to be made known in our relationship. When Dave prayed for me, I started crying. Those who know me, know that I do not cry easily. But the words that Dave uttered while he was praying for me were exactly what I needed. It was as if he had peered inside my heart and read aloud my thoughts and my needs. Never had I heard my prayer requests so perfectly worded by someone else. I cried because I knew the Holy Spirit was speaking to Dave about what I needed prayer for. I love that church..I love how I can feel the Holy Spirit working in it, I love the strong sense of unity and community, I love the genuine nature of the people, I love how I can worship God with abandon there. After my conversation with Andrew tonight, I can definitely see how God is answering my prayer one step at a time.

"Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." - Matthew 7:7
