Adventures of a Single Lady: The Kelly Chapman Diaries 5/11/09

I just had the most wonderful first date! I mean, he was tall dark and handsome. He was educated, well traveled, but also passionate about the community and giving back to others. 

We laughed and talked about everything... yes I told him about my music and my book (as it is obviously public information). He seemed intrigued but we didn't stay on the topic long. We had way too many other things in common.

Here is the bottom line for me... What God has for me is FOR ME. The bible says, "Above all else guard your HEART, for it is the well-spring of life". Prov 4:23. 

I could get all foggy-eyed and start floating all around the room. And never hear from this man again. I could start envisioning my white bridal gown, and picking out music for our wedding... YES it was a GREAT first date. Getting all worked up is how we women get our hearts broken, then we can't go to work, don't want to get dressed up, and we end up wallowing in our own self-developed pity party. 

Peace. Peace. Peace. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Trust. Trust. Trust.

At this point in life, I am determined that God will knock me over with signs and signals when THE ONE is in my life. 

... And I ain't been knocked over yet.

But I do know this... my time in Seattle was amazing! He was a true gentleman and he gave me just enough kindness to make me smile all night. I am thankful and encouraged for the ongoing reaffirmations that there are still nice, talented, intelligent and FINE SINGLE MEN OUT HERE!!

Ladies be encouraged, and just wait. It is really okay.
