Information
Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

sour milk and buttercream candles
so for the past three days it has not been smelling to great in my apartment. i originally though it was due to the abundance of dirty laundry permeating throughout our place. so, as a mature and responsible person i decided to do laundry. this however did not help the situation. and tonight as i opened the fridge to get a drink i noticed the same pungent aroma coming from the fridge. i then proceeded with the age old process of trial and error. picking one thing after another and taking it out of the fridge and smelling it. i got to the milk, pulled it out, opened it, and just about dropped it from the stink that permeated my nostrils. i mean seriously folks, we are talking nostril hair perm it was so strong. naturally i decided to chuck it down the sink. the smell would not go away. even after i poured half of a thing of bleach down the sink and continuously ran water i could still smell the wretchedness in my nose. praise god for small favors and the creation of buttercream candles. i know smell only the aroma of angelfood cake throughout the apartment.
on an aside, i would like to thank everyone for their prayers in this time of confusion and chaos. God has been faithful as He ever has been in my life and given me direction. i have decided to take a semester off from school to focus my attentions on seeking a full time ministry position, and will be moving home to san antonio next weekend. i love you all and appreciate your friendship and support. i will be signing up for online classes beginning this summer. keep me in your prayers as i keep you in mine.
surprisingly content
things are quite insane right now. i found out last monday that my tuition was never paid last semester and yet surprisingly went through the whole semester without being contacted about it. now they won't let me sign up for classes until i pay my tuition. the church is supposed to pay their part but seems to be doing so in a somewhat slow fashion. maybe this is God's way of telling me that i need to take a semester off of school, or more likely that He is giving me the desire of my heart to do so. i still have no church job and feel that i am a totally useless person. there is something blissful in all this that i can't explain. i am not worried about any of it. i may have to quit seminary, move out of my apartment to somewhere since i won't be a student, and i have no prospects for a ministry job. none of these things were in my plan yet i remain content. last semester was crazy and depressing, but thus far in this semester i feel more at peace than i have my entire life. i love the Lord for blessing me and continuing to show me how He keeps His promises to me. one of the ladies at mt gilead called me today and told me how much she missed me and what a blessing i was to her. that was a much needed encouragement. then she so adorably added jen and alex's wedding last weekend and asked when it was going to be me. i love old people. the truth is that i have had the opportunity to date some amazing women this past year. none of them were God's choice for me but i still continue to appreciate them as friends and as amazing sisters in the Lord. well this is definitely the most random entry ever, but then again it is after three in the morning. anyway, i love you all.
it's the holidays again
i don't know what it is, whether it's just my age or the season, that makes me feel so lonely. tonight i got back from a ski trip to colorado with my family. two other familes joined us making for quite a large group. the breakdown was something like this: three married couples, one engaged couple, one almost engaged couple, a boy/girlfriend combo, and my oldest sister and i trailing along without a significant person of the opposite sex. if that wasn't bad enough there were lovey dovey couples everywhere i went, even on the bloody slopes. i mean seriously, WHAT IS THE DEAL??!!?? it is almost to the point when i doubt that there is someone out there for me. not that i don't know some amazing women, it's just that God hasn't opened that door, or He has closed it with a few of them. now i do not write this so y'all will write me sappy, yet patronizing, encouragements on how i shouldn't give up and there's a girl for you. i swear if i hear that one more time i'm going to shut the person up, take off my sock, and shove it down their throat. this is just how i am feeling and what i am thinking about as i lay in my bed in san antonio at three in the morning. and since this is about the most therapeutic thing i have to vent my frustrations on the so be it, this is what you have to read.
i don't normally do this but recently i heard a song that touched on the subject addressed above. keep in mind that i am not a chris isaak fan, but this song just stood out for some reason and i felt that i would share it with y'all.
CHRIS ISAAK - "Life Will Go On"
Broken skies, heartaches that flowers won't mend
Say goodbye knowing that this is the end
Tender dreams, shadows fall
Love too sweet, to recall
Dry your eyes, Face the dawn
Life will go on
All day long thought that we still had a chance
Letting go, this is the end of romance
Broken hearts find your way
Make it through just this day
Face the world on your own
Life will go on, life will go on
There'll be blue skies, every true love
Someday I'll hold you again
They'll be blue skies in a better world, darlin'
Tender dreams, shadows fall
Love too sweet, to recall
Dry your eyes, Face the dawn
Life will go on, life will go on
Broken heart find your way
Make it through just this day
Face the world on your ownLife will go on
the much overdo post
ok, ok, ok so it's been almost two months since my last post. honestly, there have been many a late nights as i lay in bed that i have debated in my troubled creative mind whether or not i should scribble something out. clearly i haven't produced anything as of yet, but believe me there is a good reason for it. this reason would be that with all the things that have been happening in my life they all pretty much centered around the fact that my internship with my awesome church was ending. as of today i am no longer a staff member of the great little church in keller. i cannot express to any of you how much i will miss the youth of my church. each and everyone of you are dear to my heart and i will never ever forget you as long as i live, i love you all.
thank God for the end of school. i seriously don't know whether or not i could have handled much more of school this semester. christmas break is going to be so awesome. i get to go skiing with family and family friends which is going to be awesome fun anyway. on top of that i get to chill with my future brother in law and hang out and have fun. it's great to finally have equal numbers in the weaver family clan between the men and women. ok, well i don't know what else to say for today so for now i say merry christmas and goodnight.
let the quotes run forth
i would like first of all to tell everyone that my great and wonderful friend named bob has a quote page. and seeing as i for some reason made a rule to never quote myself on my own page, you can now read them on his. oh happy day, the world will finally see my genious comedic timing.
secondly, everyone needs to know that the picture page is finally up and running. i have posted three different sets of pics for you to enjoy. and the quote page has some very good new additions.
the mustang purchase has been delayed until i can find a better and more consistent job that will cover the payments each month. please be praying for that seeing as i have found the most amazing one ever this past weekend while my parents were in town. and i got to see krystal again for the second weekend in a row and that was totally awesome cause i never get to see her anymore since i can't really travel this semester. anyway that's all i have for you right now. more to be posted soon, i hope...
the great wall of writers block
as per alli's wonderfully insightful comments i grant you post number two of the week. let me assure you alexandra that a full month of writers block is in fact possible. i would sign on to the site at least twice a week to write about what was going on in my life and for the life of me couldn't find the words. and for one reason or another i have found the words once again to express, hopefully with some humor, the events that have transpired in my life. so, i remain apologetic still for my lack of entries lately, but i will try to do better.
oh and as per the women side of the last entry, there are EXTREMELY few exceptions to my statement. mostly i am sick and tired of drama and inauthenticity that women i spend time with seem to exhibit. once again i mean absolutely no disrespect to women, and i still love each and every female i know. i would just like to meet a woman, my age alli, that can be as honest in word and action as i feel that i am. and if she has questions or doubt then she should ask me. how i long for the day that a woman respects me and admires the man that God has made me to be. goodnight all.
