Let me get some things outta the way before I get into all the other things. No I still don't have any plans for Valentine's Day weekend. I'm not worrying much about it. I think I'll treat myself to a coupla days to myself somewhere outta state. I might just sleep in all weekend and buy the next seasons of 24 and Smallville! That should get me through the weekend very smoothly. Get some comfort food, premake my dinner on Friday night and maybe even go shopping for some things I don't need to buy! My chill guy, the guy I'm feelin at the moment, I don't think feels the same way about me. It's either that, or he wont admit it! Either way, we're still cool. He's busy that weekend and I'm giving up on trying to make something happen.
What brings me to titling this post "Progression" is to my slight growth in dealing with my less than pleasant emotions. I've been dealing with a particular individual in the church. He's an Elder, or so he says. No shade, but you never know! He has been elevated to the position of the MUSCLE (Men United Serving Christ Learning Excellency) president. He has a habit of doing things out of order. From scheduling meetings to dealing with people, he is just so far out there. I'm not the only one that has a problem with this. I'm just the only one that has a problem that knows how to fix it and how things should be run. Aside from the pastor, I have the most experience in seeing how a church should be run. Then comes Elder! I just stay in the background for personal reasons. I don't want too much spotlight! Particularly speaking, I dealt with all of his personality and leadership flaws at one time on yesterday. I prayed and prayed to prevent my mouth from running too much. My mouth gets me into much trouble. But I said very little and was led to bring my issues to the Pastor. He assured me that things would be taken care of and not to let it discourage me from working diligently in the church. We exchanged hugs and parted ways. I felt better. The ways I would of handled Elder in previous months, I would of needed repentance. In my angered state, I sinned not! I'm proud of myself.
In the upcoming months, I'll have my own apartment. Hopefully sooner rather than later! Details will be given as they are acquired. New things in 2009 y'all! Stay tuned!

i'm proud of you for the way you handled yourself and that situation progress made for sure and it was shown. :)
congrats on the up coming apartment you deserve it! I'll be shipping my house warming gift UPS. lol
I wish more folks would pamper themselves instead of waiting for others to do so. I've never had a valentine, so I really don't expect much (although it would be nice, I guess). Best of luck with the apartment.
I'm loving this growth with you. Keep going!!
So you became a tattle tail...hmm yes that was one way to go about it. I'm going to say this Fuzzy, there is more than one way to do something, just remember that when dealing with certain people. you have to understand your way isn't the only way try to understand their out of the box thinking. now if he is truly out of protocol, then I guess you did what was best!
LMAO...you know I want to check your little ass for that "Aside from the Pastor, I have the most experience in seeing how a church should be run" comment, but I too am going to watch what I say...but you know I was thinking "Oh no Fuzzy Did Not just say that...Wow Don't we think highly of our self.
Anyway, big ups on you getting a place of your own, and the pampering of yourself. You may be new to that, but those who don't normally do the relationship thing, have learned a while ago to pamper ourselves, perhaps to well in some cases. My credit card is hurting, so I think for Valentines day,I personally will be on a budget, on lovin' for myself.
