Date Night...

That's right...tonight was date night, with myself of course. I've long stopped counting my 30 days, but I've still been quite committed to spending time with me. Tonight was a major challenge...on a Friday night, I went to the movies by myself. It's somewhat easy to go to a movie alone on an afternoon during the week, but going on a Friday night when you're surrounded by tons of couples and families...that can put one's emotions through some things. A few times I caught myself thinking..."I wish I was here with someone special" or "That could've been me" but I got over it and returned my thoughts to the movie. One of my friends keeps reminding me to be patient and remember that God knows the plans He has for me. I'm trying really hard to do that...REALLY HARD, but I do get discouraged sometimes. Nevertheless, I'm learning more and more each day to accept what life has to offer me.

Since I'm writing about my experience, I obviously survived it with flying colors and I'm rather proud of myself, if I must say so. The movie, The Secret Life of Bees, definitely did not fill my expectations, but I'm still glad I went to see it, especially since I never finished the book with my fellow book clubbers.

I'm still on the journey and patiently waiting for what God has in store for me!
