Guilty of Gloomy
So, I've been realizing lately that sometimes I confuse emotion with the Holy Spirit. Let me backtrack a little. So, Daniel and I made the observation that we were starting to act less like friends and more like we were going out again. We got that all fixed up and what not. So, the next day, I was a mess and I had myself convinced that I had no reason to be sad. After all, it wasn't like we were going out or anything. I was sure I was feeling convicted of something and I just could not figure out what. So, after what seemed like an eternity of crying in the back office at work, I really thought and prayed about it. I also thought about what my boss had said that sometimes we think we are being convicted of something and it's our own emotion or even Satan trying to distract me. I finally realized that I had cut out all the things that I was used to with Daniel and that it really was almost like breaking up all over again. And then I realized I hadn't even mourned the first time really. I had put my own grieving on the back burner because I thought that's what everyone expected of me, when it was really only what I expected of myself.

Hey Sydnie,
You know at this time of your life you have to make very difficult decisions. I am praying for you and Daniel for your relationship. If there's any advice I can give you it is that to me anyway in my experiences three key elements. 1.communication is so important. 2. to treat each other with respect.
3.And to be honest with one another, no games!
You both are very young, next to this 37 year old (hee hee)thats its ok to slow down, there is no rush. Find out where God wants you guys to be.
I hope any of this helps,
Best regards. wendi
Hey Syd,
Remember that one year at girls camp(were there after Dennis was killed during Jericho?) when the pastor totally mistook grief for the Holy Spirit?
And the whole night turned into chaos and madness?????
Do ya remember???
That was great.....
I was wonderin what the dealio was with you and the Dan-man cuz it didn't look any different at least to me and, yeah, it doesn't look any different, Syd.
So, make it look different...or not.
You decide.
