. . . . " in my Father's arms; in His time. "

Update: Catch is back.  Yes, I  was getting equipment to do some strength training and I looked up to see his tall, sexy dark features. It will soon be a year since the first time I laid eyes on  him. It is sad and bordering on pathetic I don't know any more about him, than I did almost a year ago.   He still grabs my interest every time he walks in the room.  I still have not said two words to him, nor do I know his name. I probably never will. I know the confidence to approach him will not be there until I am within reach of my target weight.  No one likes rejection, this is how I feel this will turn out should I venture to take a chance. Just going to stay in my lane and do what I do best: Me.

I have to confess I have a weakness many people don't know about.  My weakness is a good smelling man. I don't know what it is, but the right smelling cologne is like Superman's "kryptonite" for me and I am done; weak at the knees and all.   I was in my local Trader Joe's on one of my routine visits and I turned the corner to go down the next aisle and smelled the most amazing man.  I couldn't see him because He had just turned the corner. I tried catching up to him so I could get in a full good whiff before he realized.  When I turned the corner I didn't expect to see a grand father that had probably gotten it as a gift from one of his grand kids. He was with a woman ,so I got my whiff and moved on. At my church Wednesday we had communion, so we had the little cups left over.  One of the deacons was at the back of the church collecting the cups.  He smelled so good  I wanted to turn around and go back inside to get another whiff.  I kept it moving though, I didn't want to be thinking anything I shouldn't in church of all places.

I started this blog to chronicle my weight loss journey. Each blog post I try and write something about my journey.  I also try and change things up regularly, to stay motivated mostly. This  time I was unsure what  to write about.  I have talked about the physical side and the eating side.  I think it may be time to address the emotional side. I have been mulling around this idea; and now I have the opportunity to act on it.  I was unsure, and then I got a fortune cookie that read:

I also try and write about my Savior each time I submit a post.  I am at a place right now in my relationship with Him that I have never been before.  You would have to know that I have been classified as single, and passively looking  for some time.  Lately, I have found myself more conscience of my desire to find  my best friend; someone to love and to love me.  Right now, I feel as though I am wrapped comfortably in the arms of my Savior.  My Savior has provided anything and everything I could need and want.  He forgives for me, gives renewed mercies and loves me like I could have never imagined.  I asked my Father to settle my spirit until He was ready to send the guy my Father wanted for me. I just feel so blessed and loved. I am thankful, for this time in His arms.  I am thankful for this time in His presence and getting to know my King  better. Who ever the guy is, I will gladly wait here in my Father's arms; in His time.
