A Work in Progress

In this post I will allow you to get a glimpse into my life. Hmmm, where should I start? Ok, lets rewind back about 2 years. In August of 2008 I moved back to Cleveland after leaving in Dayton for 5 years. I attended school there. Initially I was going to stay in Dayton and get an apartment after my campus housing lease was up. I could not find a job so I decided to return home. As soon as I got back home I started going to The Word Church. I grew up in church, went to church off and on in college but this time something was different. This pastor challenged me in a way no other leader had. He spoke of practical life topics from a Biblical perspective. His knowledge of the word was uncanny but he was in the process of getting his doctorate in theology (that explained it for me). I could tell that this was a true man of God who ran his church like an open book. He has a giving heart. With the help of the church members and his leadership the Word Church has done community outreach on a level not even big organizations have done. Sneakers, cars, bikes, school supplies, food and even a home has been given out. Wow, how awesome.

My life has definitely changed for the better. I realize though that there is always room for improvement and I am no where near perfect. Many people around me feel as if there will be some things I will have to sacrifice that go against my Christian values when it comes to dating. Ok, I said all this just to pose some questions. Here goes....


Are the chances slim to finding a mate who shares the same spiritual views and actually practices those views? Would you date someone that has a different faith? How important is spirituality to you when it comes to finding someone? Would you be open to converting to a different religion?

I know my views but I would love to hear yours regardless of what your beliefs are. Peace and blessings.

I'm Back

So I have been on a 6 month hiatus. I have been pre-occupied with life. A lot has happened in this time. I have been to Atlanta twice, Dayton twice and I went to Chicago for a family reunion. I'm now in my second week of nursing school. Initially, I was thinking that I would have no time to blog with school and all. However, this will serve as an outlet for me. Instead of taking an 'article approach' to my blog, I will just go with the flow. So stay tuned. I want to put my thoughts out for the world to see. I need more followers if I'm going to touch the world, so tell your friends, family, co-workers, whoever to follow my blog. Peace and blessings.
