Happy Valentines Day.
Usually I spend the month before this day, trying to figure out a way to secure a date, and it NEVER happens. And then I usually console myself by having my girlfriends be my valentine. But deep down I always feel depressed that another year passed without finding that special someone. Well, a few weeks ago God did some crazy things in my heart and showed me how I wasn't trusting Him. And after many tears and some long conversations with Rachie, I finally surrendered my heart to Him. I literally felt like I took my heart and placed it in His hands and said, "do with it as You please, for it is Yours". And since then I have felt so fine, more than fine, I have felt really content with where God has me, a single girl. Don't get me wrong, I still desire to get married someday, but really for right now, God has my heart and that is all that matters. And today is the big test. Can I go through Valentines Day without grabbing my heart back from the Lord and feeling all sad? So far, the Lord has been faithful to keep me secure in His love.
Girls, if you are single.. examine your hearts today. Have you really placed your heart in His hands allowing Him to guide it? Take it from me, the peace He gives is SO much better than the pity party the world will give us.

Incidentally, in case you feel like a tragic story.. I received a heart pendant from that bf in 1995... that was back in 8th grade..catholic school days.. I remember, I loved that necklace.. then a few months later, during Lent, I ate a McDonalds hamburger on a Friday night..A few hours later I realized I had lost the pendant, and thought I was basically doomed for life, as a result of my transgression!!!
I don't even eat McDonalds hamburgers anymore..
And, how could I forget, that was also when i got my first kiss!! Yea, what an award-wimming V-Day in the life of little alison :)
There really is no moral to the story.. (guess I just felt liek tellin one)
