Awesome in This Place

Hello everyone,

We're into another week and I'm certainly finding it challenging now, I don't know about you?

Just yesterday I opened up about recent struggles which readers of this blog will know all about to a good friend of mine. It was nice to hear her story as well as obtain a female perspective on my crush...

Renewing, Resetting My Focus

I realised last Monday that this was going to have to happen because I would be a fool not to take advantage of the opinions of the women in my life. Their opinions tell me how a guy should be acting in my position instead of how I think I should be acting, which, when you face the fact that men and women are wired fundamentally to think & behave differently, it is information & advice like this that I would be mad to ignore.

If you like, it is like getting insider information to see if how you think you should behave lines up with: -

• scripture, which is of first importance in an issue of the heart like this; and
• the way a woman views her man's behaviour as acceptable

Now I'm not going to analyse & unpack those bullet points as it could leave me open to some very hefty criticism if I handle it poorly.

Instead, at this point, I want to take a different tact and look at a verse I referenced recently when I made the conclusion that if I am not taking what I'm unpacking upon here and starting to live that out in my life then I'm effectively not only living a lie, but I'm preaching one too: -

But we must hold on to the progress we have already made. Phil 3:16 (NLT)

The fact of the matter is that a statement like the above shows that, not only should I be taking seriously every single letter I put on here, but also I should be taking heed of how this can impact some of your lives.

You might read it and think it's a load of tosh, really, and I wouldn't blame you because sometimes I think that myself! :-D

But the reality of my situation is that as much as I have been writing about my crush, even more so have I been reading my Bible & even more so praying over her and this whole situation whilst it comes out that I like her... one whole heckuva heap!

There is already a chance that she is aware of how I feel, which is what my friend said yesterday in lieu of the fact that I asked her out for coffee.

So if you are reading this, thank you for waiting for me and I'll be with you soon! ;-)

Balls-y move that, bro's!

Final Thought

That's something I think about every day, asking her out again, because given that it took me nearly six months to ask her out in the first place, yet now I'm a further year and almost three months on and I'm still as super keen on her as I was the first day I saw her.

That, my friends, is some serious mojo!

The point that I am making is that Jesus is in full control of my situation and, right now, and as much as I can say that I talk about her, I can honestly say that He is indeed "awesome in this place" even more so: -

I think I'll close today by saying a catchphrase that covered most of my 2016: -

Whilst I live & breathe, I hope!

The question is that, now that I've told two more people that I'm holding onto a crush on someone, just what do I hope in? And does that hope lie here on earth, or is it in heaven?

Honestly?

Something is clearly happening and the earth is definitely moving whilst God goes to work in this!

Peace out!
