A few years ago, I posted on the newest, most current blogging venue available (my Facebook notes) to write about Valentine's day. How we needed to appreciate our Skeeter Valentine's (Doug reference, anyone? "Honk Honk") and not just our romantic ones. That lesson still rings true. However, I'm here today to write about something a little different.
I came into this blog I don't use often to tell you this story because I feel like it needs to be shared. As many friends that I have that are part of a couple, I have tons who are single and especially embittered by this greeting card company mega-money maker known as "Valentine's Day" or "Singles Awareness Day".
I'm hoping you will take this story not as "rubbing it in" but rather as an encouragement, because I was once upon a time having consistent bitter Valentine's day pity parties.
Anyway, the story I came to tell:
This Valentine's Day marks my second (and year and a half "anniversary") with the love of my life, Kaylin Klein. We met as dance partners in the Mill Race Players "Cinderella" in the Summer of 2011. I was about to begin my final semester of college, Kaylin, her sophomore year. I was charmingly bad at dancing, she insists she's "had worse" dance partners.
I knew the first moment I met Kaylin that I was attracted to her. She carried herself differently from other women and I was attracted to that. So I Facebook stalked her (found out her name via the "Cinderella" cast list, actually), added her, and slowly started working my way in there. She was genuine, kind-hearted, sweet, and Christian. It's all I ever wanted in a partner, but nothing I felt like I deserved. I had made a lot (no seriously, A LOT) of mistakes in my previous dating endeavors, and I didn't feel fit to date someone from such a different dating background. But God worked on me. He showed me examples of others of my friends who had turned their love lives around. I stayed in prayer and I wanted nothing more than to be a part of this girl's life.
I wasn't used to getting what I wanted, as it was often not what God wanted. This time proved different, however. I got exactly what I wanted. I "successfully wooed" Kaylin, and we ended up committing to each other just before I left for my final semester. I was ecstatic.
I have lots of cutesy little relationship beginning stories, but I'll spare you those on this occasion. Jump ahead.
Only a few months later, we would both be home in October and I would tell her (for the first time) that I loved her. She returned my sentiment, and from that point on I was sure that God had put her in my life permanently. I was sure after only a few months that she was the one. She may not have been sure so certainly, but right around a year after the initial exchange of "I love you"s, I got down on one knee and asked Kaylin to be my wife, and she accepted.
*pause for cheers and tears*
I didn't write this to tell you how great things in my relationship are. I mean, they are great but it's no walk in the park. It's work, especially when she's in Muncie without a vehicle, and I'm at home working so we can have money to get married. Gas prices alone would cause some people to fall apart in that scenario. No, I wrote this to my single friends mostly, so that you don't lose heart. I had lost heart. I had given up on ever finding the right person, just before I found the right person. Be faithful. She/He's out there, and no matter how many decisions you've made that you'll regret, God is looking out for you. Just be mindful that it isn't over yet. If there's someone out there for ME, there's DEFINITELY someone out there for you.
Be mindful and prayerful in your relationships. God will help you find them (or them find you) AND He'll help you keep them. Don't be too picky (don't get me wrong here, be picky, just not TOO picky), always keep your eyes peeled, and again, BE FAITHFUL. God has not forgotten about you, and He has the perfect path laid out for you. Just be prayerful and find it.
I'm not pretending to have all the answers, but I'm thrilled with the partner God has found me. I'm thrilled that she loves me so much, that she loves Jesus, that my youngest brother-in-law will turn 4 years old on our wedding day. I'm thrilled with my eventual in-law family and that my family is thrilled with my choice. Sharing my life (even the little things) seems so exciting to me, and I can't wait to get there.

I hope you all found this helpful! Happy Valentine's Day!! God Bless!!!

The time has come, the walrus said...
Somethings really been troubling me lately, and I had no better way to say it long-form than in this blog, so here goes:
I'm sorry. I've been griping and putting political posts out there way too much. It's not like me, really. I'm afraid its because I honestly have nothing better to spend my time doing. When I was in school I was able to be in plays or doing other things, but now I just have work, and getting angry about things. I need to find an outlet. And for this, I am truly sorry. I think what I think but I'm sorry for shoving onto your Facebook and Twitter feeds. I've been un-followed and un-friended enough for one election cycle.
For the record, as far as legality goes, I believe in equality for all and I am pro-life. I won't argue with anyone about this anymore. That's how I feel, you feel differently. You won't change my mind and I won't change yours.
I won't argue with you about it, but I will defend my side of it. That's often what I see myself doing. Defending the other side that I don't feel has been given a fair shake. I'm mostly not a fan of "you're wrong, I'm right" attitudes, and if you think that I feel that way, I don't. In fact, I HOPE that America is correct in choosing Obama for our economy. My OPINION is different. I have been arguing, too. I won't deny that, but I am competitive in nature, and that's the only explanation I have for it. Every time I think to myself "Self, you shouldn't do this" but I do it anyway.
But here is some food for thought. Remember three paragraphs ago when I said I've lost enough friends and followers? It's true. I've honestly had to overcome that sick feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you're torn just to post that stuff. I don't want to lose friends but I feel like something needs to be said. No longer do I feel that way. But it goes both ways. I'm tired of hearing insults flung and sarcasm used in everything people say. I talked with someone today who told me that she agreed with everything I had said, but was afraid to even "like" my post or comment in agreement, because she might face attack and ridicule from her "friends" who believed differently than she. I for one, find this intolerable. Yes. This is a true story. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT LIVE IN FEAR OF THAT. EQUAL RIGHTS SHOULD INCLUDE RIGHTS TO BE ANNOYING ON FACEBOOK EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
Anyway, I'm sorry. Sorry for stepping on your toes, or being rude, or starting arguments. I can assure you, most arguments with my Facebook or Twitter friends are not fun for me. It goes against every instinct that I have and I don't want to do it anymore. But, if you're asking for my apology for standing up for what I believe in, and standing up to sarcasm and ridicule of what I believe, I won't do that.
I'm willing to do my part to repair any relationship I have broken. I'd like to actually have some friends that I have decent conversations with. I don't have too many of those other than my brother and fiancee, currently. I never let someone's views get in the way of me caring for them and loving them, and I don't think you should either, but I can't tell you what to do. :)
Well.
I feel a lot better now that it's out of my system. I hope that your eyes are opened to my inner torment over all of this. I can't shake off losing a single friend. I take every un-follow and de-friend personally. I know I've done some un-friending recently too, and I honestly can't say it was warranted, either. I've had a lot of anger for a long time. I'm working on it.
I hope you'll accept this as my apology, friends. Even if we're not "Facebook official" or you don't follow me on twitter, I still consider you a friend. I care about you and I hope that things are going well for you. If there's anything I can do for you, please let me know! Share this with your friends who you know have deleted me from their lives. I won't add them back but will gladly welcome anyone back into my life.
Thanks for listening, and reading, and please share your thoughts with me, good or bad. And pray for me, if you should feel so inclined. Also, pray for my dear friend CJ, who has gone through much worse this week.
Thanks. God Bless.

Greater detail than Facebook or Twitter
It's been a little while since I've posted in here, and this blog IS for sorting out my thoughts. So here goes.
I'm torn up about the 2012 Presidential Campaign. There is entirely too much mudslinging. When did it become okay to ignore what's actually wrong with the world and vote for one of two despicable campaigns. I'm becoming convinced more and more every day that I must vote alongside a moral obligation instead of the "lesser of two evils". I don't care if my vote "counts" because at least I will be able to sleep at night knowing that a write in for Luke Skywalker, Shaggy Rogers, or Ron Paul didn't increase the national debt.
Mitt Romney's comments in the infamous "47%" video..were off the cuff and playing to a certain type of audience. You don't behave differently and say things in different ways to different groups of people? Really? Yeah. That's what I thought.
Since I care so little about the outcome of this election, here's something nice about Barack Obama:
He really cares. He is a genuine human being with a good heart. He wants to help the United States. He wants to help people the best he can. I like Obama as a man. He seems to be a decent fellow. Neither he or Romney is going to help anyone or change anything with the country behaving as it currently is. We are blaming politicians for the way that we are behaving, and I am sick of it.
I mean what I say about Jesus being the answer. He is our only salvation. The United States will never be "saved" unless they turn to God. If everyone was turning to Jesus instead of Obama or Romney or Bill Clinton, there wouldn't BE problems like the ones America is facing. There would be an excess of compassion and love to go around. That's what Jesus wanted for us. If everyone extends compassion and help to those who need it on a daily basis, no one would need to rely on the government to do the people's job. If you think the government should do it, why don't YOU do it?!
I try to serve in any way I can. I am selfish with my money sometimes, but I would actually be in serious financial trouble without my parents. I am an underemployed college graduate whose parents showed him love and compassion in keeping him around until he gets on his feet. Money isn't the only way to help someone. Lend an ear, an arm, or any body part you can to help someone in need. I try to lend things like that, things that I wish people would give to me.
No matter how underemployed, poor, or lonely I am, I have incredible gifts. Incredibly family, friends, and a girlfriend that love me. God has shown me so much compassion, because my life could be so much worse. See how much you can improve someone's life just by reaching out to them. Reach out, even if they don't reach back at first.
I hope some (if any) of this made sense to you. Just know that politically, I consider myself a moderate/independent. I lean to the right sometimes out of moral conviction, but am very level headed and logical much of the time. I appreciate your reading. Thanks, God bless, and I love you. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.

Lost
I don't know where else to put this so here it goes.
I am not against gay marriage. I am defending chick-fil-a because the media is too hard on people like this. (I defended Tiger Woods and still disagreed with what he did). If you look around you'll find a lot more people than you think agree with him. Bigotry is not a good word to use for people like this. Bigotry is a word reserved for the Westboro Baptist Church, Adolf Hitler and the like. You should instead call this "majority of Americans". I am for gay marriage. I think with separation of church and state it's impractical to deny anyone basic civil rights. I think they should be able to marry their mailbox if they want to. I don't really care what they do. I believe in God and the Bible and I struggle with people's real feelings versus what God says and what I know in my heart to be true. But my religious beliefs do NOT make me a bigot.
Jesus wouldn't want us fighting about it. Jesus would tell us all how irrelevant all of this really is. You know, God gave up his only son for us. For humans. You have to take things like this and wonder "Why?"
I'm hoping I still have friends left. I am missing the people closest to me and without them I am nothing. And right now I am without them. If you are to pray for me today, I would feel greatly appreciative. I have never felt more alone.
No matter your stance on the Chick-Fil-A issue, you are wrong. Because it is irrelevant. Chick-fil-a is going to thrive, in spite of your "boycott" and gay people will still get married, despite their "lobbying". Just love each other and get over yourselves. Thanks.

Here We Go Again
Hello Internet. It's been awhile.
I feel pretty good about a few things in my life, like my girl is amazing. She's my best friend and I love how happy she makes me and how happy I seem to make her.
I'm working back at K-mart, but that has brought my confidence back. My confidence is delicate, but by and large, working at K-mart has put me back on the "find a good job for my future" course.
But here is my problem:
Everything I was passionate about months ago has fallen away. I'm in a show right now but it's difficult for me to connect to the material, and it's been a rough-going production for the cast and the director thus far, though things are finally looking up.
Also, I'm selling out and finding a big-boy job, because I want to have money to have a decent life for myself.
I have been telling people in job interviews that I am a people person, but I'm starting to think that's not true anymore. I used to take pride in my relationships because I put so much work into them and I had lots of friends that I cared about and cared about me.
But...living away from them is teaching me that...well...that I was wrong. It's so hard to think that people who were such a huge part of my life now barely talk to me. I can name 3 people from Nashville/Lipscomb that have contacted me first in the last three weeks. I'm not even that far away from them...should things really be this difficult?
My prayer today is that I make the most of my situation. Obviously, God knows what he is doing. But I long for the brotherhood (and sisterhood) that I once had. My prayer is that God takes control of my life and helps me not to need those things I once relied on. I pray that he gives me strength in all that I do, and keeps me forward on the path he wants for me.
Prayers and Comments are always appreciated and encouraged.

There and Back Again?
Okay. So here we are. Back in my first blog. And why?
Main reason is....I'm totally lost.
I got back on at K-mart because I was tired of not having any money. My parents seem sure that I'm going to immediately find a full-time job with benefits. I'm obviously (after two months of fruitless search) less convinced.
But all in all, my life just lacks clarity. For once, I'm absolutely certain where I want to go in my love life, and I'm almost as certain that God wants the same thing for me.
But here I am. 22. Heart for acting/theatre/the lot. I don't think I can live with myself if I'm not contributing to this world. And I settled for part time at K-mart while I look for a job, but I'm thankful for the flexibility which allows me to do a show, and I would do this for the rest of my life if I could. I don't mind a part-time retail job if my passion is being actively used to counteract it.
Here's the other problem: My future. I want to get married eventually and I have to have the money to support not only myself but (quite likely, anyway) someone else.
Options:
1.) Eventually find a full-time job, that I will likely hate and be less-than-qualified to do, or not at all interested in doing, but will make a good life for me and my future wife (fingers still crossed on that one).
2.) Graduate School- I'm torn about this one, because ideally I would study acting, but I could finish a Communication Studies degree faster, and I have that much better of a chance in the job market with Master's Degree. I would need to take the GRE VERY soon to have a chance of being admitted in the fall (to something other than an acting program, which don't always require it)
3.) Continue with my current course and work part-time while chasing the dream. I've been blessed with parents who aren't pressuring me (too much :P) to get out of their house. All of that stress, I have placed on myself. Obviously, (as stated above) I'm okay with this for me, but pursuing life as a family man...I just don't know.
My girlfriend is very supportive in all this. She doesn't want me to give up my dreams for her sake (and I wouldn't) but I want the world for her, not for me. One (of MANY) reasons she is so great is that she understands my plight as an artist, and I hers. I would never trade that for anything.
Here's what I ask of my readers. Prayers. Encouragement. Advice. Anything you've got. I need to better in my own prayer life, too. Hopefully this well help push me there.
Anyway, I love you. Thanks for reading if you did. Comments are appreciated. :)

Okay so what now?
Exactly one month ago, I graduated from college with a Bachelor of Arts in Oral Communication and Minor in Theatre. What is one to do now?
I'm living with my folks back in Indiana, searching for jobs so I can save 80% of my money, give 10% to church and spend the other 10% on gas to get up to Indianapolis Auditions.
It's kind of a rough thing to do, really. Trying to find a "career" that isn't your calling and being too overqualified to make minimum wage?
God has looked out for me though. Because, I am DEBT FREE. (I have no money, but I also don't owe anybody anything, which is awesome!)
I also met this amazing girl (see "whirlwind crush" from previous post) and God has blessed my life in so many ways just by putting her in it.
That's my update in short. The question I pose today is...what do I do now? (And yes, just commenting with a link to a classified ad IS acceptable)
The other update: I will be starting a separate blog to write movie reviews....but it's going to be a very unique blog all at the same time. Details to follow.
God Bless!

I'm living with my folks back in Indiana, searching for jobs so I can save 80% of my money, give 10% to church and spend the other 10% on gas to get up to Indianapolis Auditions.
It's kind of a rough thing to do, really. Trying to find a "career" that isn't your calling and being too overqualified to make minimum wage?
