I had given up on finding my special someone and had determined to focus solely on my career and relationship with God for the next year or two. But it seems God has different plans for me. I have entered into a relationship with Kelley, a childhood friend and steady Christian.
At first I did not intend to post this here because the focus of this blog is my writing. But I realized that that was foolishness because I want my readers to hear about this blessing; Kelley and I are working toward marriage and striving to keep our relationship pure until that day. Today there are few young women who have a blend of physical beauty, godliness, and commitment. I can say with 100% confidence that Kelley is one such girl.
I want to take this opportunity to encourage my peers, girls and guys alike. Don't dispair of finding a special someone to share your life with. And don't let past mistakes stop you from entering a pure relationship. I've made my share of mistakes . . . but God has seen fit to let me learn from those mistakes, instead of letting me fall away because of them. He can do it for you, too.
Please pray for both of us as we move forward with this relationship.

Mom of said young lady!
Actually, I have no comment because God is good--beyond what we could ever think or imagine. We are filled with thanksgiving and look forward to watching this precious gift unfold.
How sweet! :-) Thank you, I will try to "live up to that." :)
God is SO good, and His timing, although completely unpredictable, is always right. :-)
Kelley
Thanks Shayna!
If you are filled with thanksgiving, Jennifer... just imagine how much I am feeling! (:
You already have 'lived up to that' Kelley. And I know you will continue to do so. (: You're right...God's timing is unpredictable but always right.
Thank you Scott. As to being filled with thanksgiving, what about me??? :-)
Kelley

Thanks Alyssa! It is amazing what an overwhelming (and I mean a powerful) positive response we are getting to our announcment. People seem to be coming out of the woodwork and telling me that this just feels right to them...
Thank you, too, Monique! It feels strange but wonderful. Please keep us in your prayers.
Congratulations :)
