So I am sitting here my computer and I am wondering....why is life so damn difficult? I'd really like to ask God that question, but we all know He tells us that He won't give you mountains you can't climb, and that He will be with you at all times. But just sometimes, you just sit down to think and how come I'm a lone...how come I don't have someone to love and be with? I look at my best friend David and his wife (and good friend) KC...they are in love. I've never had that. I look @ my good friend Bobby and his gf Lanelle...you can tell magic is happening there. I see this all over the place...but here I sit...a lone...and afraid, that i won't be able to enjoy that thing in life we call love.
When I think about my life, a song comes to mind, its sung by Bryan White, its called Someone Else's Star.
Alone again tonight without someone to love.
The stars are shining bright so one more wish goes up.
Oh, I wish I may and I wish with all my might.
For the love I'm dreaming of and missing in my life.
You'd think that I could find a true love of my own.
It happens all the time to people that I know.
Their wishes all come true so I've got to believe.
There's still someone out there who is meant for only me.
I guess I must be wishing on someone else's star.
It seems like someone else keeps gettin what I'm wishing for.
Why can't I be as lucky as those other people are?
I guess I must be wishing, on someone else's star.
I sit here in the dark and stare up at the sky,
But I can't give my heart one good reason why.
Everywhere I look it's lovers that I see.
It seems like everyone's in love with everyone but me.
I guess I must be wishing on someone else's star.
It seems like someone else keeps gettin what I'm wishing for.
Why can't I be as lucky as those other people are?
I guess I must be wishing, on someone else's star.
So now as I listen to this song. I must be doing something wrong. Maybe I'm not suppose to have someone to love. I guess time will tell.
Well this is my first blog...thanks for listening.

Hey, Josh. Welcome to the blogging world! Place looks good! Well done!
As far as love goes... You're older than me, so I know I can say it until I'm blue in the face and it still won't mean as much as someone out of my shoes, but I'll say it anyway because you're my friend, and I believe it...Be patient.
You may look at the love I share with Lanelle, or at that which Dave and K.C. share, but what you don't see is everything behind the scenes that's already gone on. Let me tell you a bit about our story you haven't heard yet...
When I was six years old, I prayed that God would show me a picture of the girl I was going to marry when I met her, so that I could recognize her instantly. You know, walking down the street with a friend "HEY! Hey, look, that's her! You see her?! She's the one! Oh, she's beautiful!" ya know?
But God did not answer that prayer for 16 years, and then when He did, I had to wait another 3 years before I was sure of what was happening!
In that 16 year interval, I had to learn patience the hard way. I went through a lot before I got the message that I can actually trust God with all of my life, including the pen to my love story.
I learned that it's easier when you give up the pen. Life is less stressful when you leave that which you can't change by worrying about it in the hands of someone who knows what's going on.
The greatest piece of advice ever given to me was by my dear surrogate Mom, saying "Be still. Be still and know that He is God."
It's a reference to a Bible verse, which I unfortunately don't know where it is in the Bible, but it quickly became my personal mantra.
Now, I think it's the best piece of advice I can give you. Be still. He hasn't forgotten you. Just wait. The love story He has planned is unbelievable.
(P.S. Have you noticed I can get kinda wordy? Sorry. I'll try to keep things shorter in the future.)
