Captured?

I'm not saying it is so, but I really like to believe that the possibilities are endless right now. Yes, my heart is seriously crushing right now. But things have just started between the two of us. The best has yet to come or even happen (at least I would like to believe).

Our first date was Thursday, January 6th. We met up at Krishna's Indian food in Oxford on Main St. I have never had Indian food before so it was good, and pretty interesting. I'm not a huge fan of spicy food. I got a level "0" and still thought it was a little much. But still good. When the food was served he asked if it was okay for him to say grace, and in awe of him asking me if it was okay... I said yes!!! But when he said it he spoke kind of quietly and I really couldn't hear him. So I just said grace for me while he was saying grace. LoL!! We were there for HOURS talking!!! Amazing conversation!!!! There was a little weirdness (but I'm not going to dish all that out). After we were finished eating and just sitting there and talking about a lot of different things, I was FREEZING (I had my coat on backwards I was so cold). So I made a suggestion to go over to Kofenya, a few doors down for some coffee and more conversation.

We get there he gets a Hot Chocolate, and I get a Carmel Latte. YUMMY!!! We sit in a booth and grab a kids "Memory" game to play. We play like 5 different rounds. By the 3rd or 4th round we were simply going through the motions of playing the game, because the conversation was so much fun!!! LOTS OF LAUGHTER!!!!


Since I was parked right out side the doors of Kofenya, I drove him back to his car because he was parked on the other side of the block. When I get to his car the conversation was still flowing between the two of us!!!! He stops mid sentence and looks at me and asks me if it is okay for him to kiss me.

There is so much attraction between us throughout the date, so of coarse I said yes!! The kiss was so soft, very tender, simple and yet so perfect. It was a great way to end the evening.... no it was a absolute perfect way to end it!!!

So what's next? Well, for the past two weeks he's been coming to church with me. I'm the kind of woman who takes my relationship with Christ very personal and kinda private for me. Especially worship... my heart is very private. I'm not the kind of woman that is open right away to sharing my fellowship time with just any one. But with him it's different. I don't know why but it is. I really find myself wanting to learn about his walk with the Lord. I want to know how his relationship is with God.

One thing that I found VERY odd in my meditation time in reading the word is that the prayer that I am praying for my future husband is found in Romans 1:10-12 "One of the things I always pray for is the opportunity, God willing, to come at last to see you. For I long to visit you so I can bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord. When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but also I want to be encouraged by yours."

Then I was reading in Ephesians the other night. Actually the night before our date, and praying that we both keep an open mind and really listen to each other. Just praying for God to have his way on the date. And the scripture that I opened up to was Ephesians 1:15-18 "Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your hope and love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your heart will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope as he has given to those he called- his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance."

We've text each other A LOT during the day!!! As well as talk a lot!!! I know that I am crushing on him a lot. But I don't want things to go too fast with him. We have LOTS of questions for each other so lack of conversation is never a problem.

I'm looking forward to what is actually in stored for us!!

Our next date we are going to be planning a trip to the Dayton Art Museam. Super stoked!!! I haven't been there since I was in college at The School of Advertising Art!!! It's gonna be SO MUCH FUN!!!!!
