I've got a line from a song running through my head with some alterations .... "i've lost that writing feeling" and i would love love love to find it back again from wherever it's disappeared to. Silly that eh? I know it's been eons (or at least a month) since i've last posted and it's certainly not because nothing has happened around here!
The weekends are always busy, attending church, coffee and dinner dates with family and friends, spending time with Timothy and exploring the cities, both Hamilton and Toronto, and learning more about each other along the way. Pretty soon, in two weeks, it will be a year for us dating. Hard to imagine eh? Life has a funny way of slipping by me like water through my fingers and I turn around to see where I came from and I realize the road has already gotten a bit fuzzy in retrospect - how did that go again? I think life tends to speed up as I age and i find myself stumbling over my memories and hoping i remember things clearly! Oh dear, i sound like i'm heading for a nursing home here, after all, "The Meadows" is a pretty apt title for such a place.
I'm not being ungrateful because believe me i'm definitely not. I am so thankful to God for leading me, us, this far and for blessing us with such supportive friends, church communities and family. He blesses us in ways we cannot even imagine, through means we didn't think possible. He takes two people who seem to be on such divergent pathways and brings us together to walk beside each other, to help and support each other and to be encouraged mutually. Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles (to quote dear old Fiddler on the Roof). At this time last year, i remember thinking "Ok, God, if your plan is for me to be single and that's what you really desire, then i think i could (finally, maybe) be okay with that." It sure took a long time to come to that, and probably i wasn't even 100% truly sure, but maybe it took Him bringing me to that point, to usher in new directions and plans for my life. Anyways, as i sit here this morning, after another busy but great weekend, i have to just give the praise to God and pray that He continues to guide our paths, wherever it is that He would have us go.

Thanks for the update Yellie!! Hope to see you soon!!
Well said Danielle...
How quickly things can change, hey? It is definitely not easy when we spend time yearning for something to happen or change and it just doesn't seem like it's ever going to happen. Trusting that God has a very good and perfect plan that may be completely different from our plan is sometimes difficult, but He sure has a way of taking us on journeys we never anticipated. Thanks for sharing your journey. :)
The book title:"Surprised By Joy" comes to my mind a lot. mom
Did I mention that I absolutely love the picture. I think someone needs to write a book to go with it. mom
