Okay so here is my little rant about dating....
Just b/c I'm single doesn't mean I'm desperate, it also doesn't mean I have commitment issues. I want a love story, a how we met story that I can tell my kids and grandchildren. I want to date a guy with purpose, not date a guy just to get a free meal. Dating is a pathway to marriage. You get to know a person and decide if you're path together will continue or end. As a woman I need to pay attention, are the qualities this guy displaying qualities I would want my figurative future son to have or qualities my figurative daughter's husband to have. I'm tired of people either intentionally or not trying to rob me of my love story. I know I'm 28 and in some people's books I'm too old to be single or on the road to spinster hood or whatever. God has a better plan for me than they do. I'm finally figuring out what I want in a potential mate and I won't settle and I won't bend to peer pressure trying to make me settle for them to feel better.

I survived!
Hehehe....the first day with the personal trainer went way better than I thought! It was nice to see that I could do more than I thought my body could do. She did give me a diet plan that includes lentil soup so now I am on a hunt for lentil soup recipes.
I'm fortunate that I can listen to music, sermons or talk radio while I'm at work...I'll be honest talk radio isn't something I listen to. I've been listening to Mark Driscoll preach through the book of Nehemiah and it has been amazing. I know some people aren't Driscoll fans, but I have listened to alot of his sermons and have yet to find something I disagree with. Plus you aren't going to agree with everyone all the time. Back to Nehemiah he was in chapter 5 and talking about hospitality and it opened my eyes to the fact that hospitality involves more than inviting someone over for dinner and making them feel welcome. It also involves the way one interacts with others period. This really convicted me because when I'm out and about my main objective is to go unnoticed. I will look at my feet when I walk or I will check my Facebook and texts alot or I will read a book if I have to wait in line somewhere (I always have a book on me). With this conviction reminded me of a dear friend who once during bible study said when she goes to the grocery store she smiles ALOT, she makes eye contact with others and says hello and her goal is for others to see Jesus in her. How are others going to see Jesus in me if I'm looking at the ground and have my don't even look at me face on?????

Introduction
Hello World! (okay hello 3 people who took the time to read this)
I titled my blog Jesus Cowgirl, because I love Jesus and b/c I embrace my country roots if you will. I decided to create this blog to allow those I care about to be apart of the journey that I am on. I want to grow in my relationship with God, my Father; I need healing for wounds that I have chosen to ignore; I need a space to type out my thoughts and work through them; and I want to be transparent. Let's get some hitch in our giddy up :)
