We interupt your regularly schedule post for this important new update

***Note: I have a really cute post, but I'll just put it on facebook now. The following got to be too long to put them together. So check out my notes on facebook***


Oh yeah, I am also supposed to post that Em and I are back together. Well, since everyone who reads this already knows, I'm not too sure what else there is to say. But for my family in AZ let me throw a little out there. Emily and I started dating about a year ago just before I moved back to Dallas. During those few short months we were dating, we learned a lot from one another and grew to sincerely care about the other and appreciate who they are. There were just too many factors working against the relationship and after prayerful consideration, we recognized that the Lord wanted us to call it off. In many regards, it was difficult to break things off. However, the Spirit was clearly present in the decision and continued to comfort us and give us each direction in pursuing our own lives.

We remained close friends at a distance and each gave the other room to grow. We opened ourselves up to other relationships and dated other people. It has been a terrific time for the both us as we have been able to realize our personal goals and continue on the paths in which God has places us.

A couple weeks back, I took advantage of an extended weekend to fly back to California to see family and friends. Well, I blogged all of that. Look down a couple posts. At the end of my stay, Emily and I got together just for a bit to catch up with one another. We didn't think too much about it. I used to call it the one way bullet train to "Just Friendsville." Once you're on, there's no going back. Being friends was just so easy for us that we quickly become comfortable enough to let our guards down and be ourselves.

I guess at this point I say something along the lines about our feelings being rekindled, or they all came rushing back, or it what as if we just picked up where we left off, or something to that effect. But really, it was not like that at all. The feelings were all together different, but not in the least bit strange.

There was EXTREME hesitation to do anything about the feelings because we knew the past and even the present. I think that was key though. It forced to not try to return to where we once were. It was an all new approach, to an all new situation, with an all new resolve. Nonetheless, we knew we needed to address the issue of the feelings we did have for each other.

In short, Emily and I are back together exploring the possibilities of what the Lord has in store for us. We know that there is still a lot that lays ahead of us and we are doing everything we can to discover the exact path He has for us without rushing anything. There is a lot of talk and buzz, and we don't doubt the validity of most of it. However, we recognize that everything must happen in its own due time. Our job is to be patient and trust on the Lord's timing. At present, we are praying to make sure we know what exactly it is that we should be hoping and preparing for.

Well, that was put together quickly, so I hope it makes sense. I think Em did a far better job at explaining things so check out her blog too. Emily's link is on my right side bar.
