...
And there I was dancing in the arms of an answered prayer without a clue. Little Christian girl on the dance floor in a bar with her church friends. Sounds dangerous right? Maybe hypocritical. One of my friends had taken me out and was half dragging me around the floor when he told me what he may be chosen to do. (It's top secret right now so the word is mum. The church will take it to a vote very soon so I will tell you more then. For now you must wait.) After he told me who he was though, I was absolutely elated. Our church has been praying for God to send this particular person our way for months. And now not only did I get to see God move and pick the person, but I was dancing WITH THAT PERSON.
That is awesome.
It was one of those moments when you have to stop and say, Oh my goodness. God is real. He is here. He is listening. He is working. He has a plan. He is incredible. And look, He even thought about me.
It was a great evening at the family friendly bar. I think it is called Quihi Gun Club or something. My friends invited me to come dancing with them, and you all know how much I love to dance. I danced with most of the people in our group. I even danced with the Flash. (Any of my old readers will remember him and my unique yet small infatuation with the boy.) We did not get home until one A.M. Sunday morning. At church we were all groggy. I am still a little bit too tired.
Anyway, lately I have been seeing God's hand like everywhere. He answers even simple prayers. Like on Saturday, there was a soccer game and I had to take pictures, but it was raining. I prayed, "God please let it stop raining."
By the time I got to the school it was over. (Five minute drive, people.) I was like, wow, He actually did it. That's amazing.
Not that I didn't believe and know that He could make the rain stop, just that I figured it would be too small to bother with. It was pretty awesome.
On a different note, my best friend has been grounded from his technology for the past...week or two. (It feels like a month though. No kidding.) Last night I got to talk to him for a little bit, I was so happy. (He lives on the other side of the country.) I miss him a lot. I am hoping to fly him out this spring to go to the Military Ball with me. He is so sweet though. He misses me too.
{Cowgirl why are you telling me this?}
I have no idea. It was just on my mind. I literally have no point right now. I am just in English class rambling bout my friend. Sorry about that. Maybe I should find a poem for you guys. Or I could write one, but I don't feel like writing one at this particular moment. MM...The teacher is about to make us work.
How about Shakespeare's sonnet 18? Great. Let's talk about this.

Sonnet XVIII
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Shakespeare asks if his love is even as lovely as a summer's day, his love is far more wonderful and kind. He tells about the less lovely parts of summer. His love's beauty shall not fade away though, probably because it will be passed on to the next generation.
This is one of his earlier sonnets so according to my research it was written about a man....
{Is Shakespeare gay???}
I have no idea. I think he was probably bisexual...He was a dirty man. I was watching a documentary on him once and they said he married his cousin after he got her pregnant. Also, his dark lady sonnets were not about his wife. So rumor has it that he had a male lover and a female lover and a wife. I should learn more and make a blog post all about him with actual information that I know is credible. I am going to go now, have a great day.
