Okay. I had an epiphany of sorts today. Church was awesome. We had a guest minister talk about what it means to be who we are in terms of our relationship with Christ and the implications that the choice to be Christian in more than a lip service manner has on our life.
He basically said "you can't say one thing and live another way, it's a lie... either you believe and it has meaning in your life or you're really not what you say you are."
Ouch harsh words.
Then... we had Deacon/Elder training. It was basically reiterated - the serious nature of what it means to be a leader in the church.
So... it was solidified in my life at that moment: forget the whole notion of dating for a moment and concentrate on living in the grace of God.
I said good bye to a lot of people, took my profile down from the dating site...
Well, tonight, I went to a jazz club. It was suppose to be an open mic night where people could play, but there was a jazz band there that was pretty good. This really attractive blond woman comes over to me and starts a conversation. I behave... Good.
Then... a 20 something Midwestern girl comes over. Jet black hair, red lipstick, slightly drunk, rolling her own unfiltered cigarette type comes over and is in full flirt mode. She's from Wisconsin and working down here now, and completely not into the whole southern outlook on life. Clearly the hottest woman in the room comes over to me... puts her number in my phone and says we should hang out.
It's just odd.
You go through the whole internet dating thing where you feel like you're being judged... so you just give up... then something like this happens.
Now, I know she's not my type. But she may be fun to hang out with. We'll see.
Sometimes, I just don't get life.
