Feeling Good, Feeling Great, Look Good, Don't Hate

I'm feeling so good right now. Church was absolutely wonderful. Rev. Pickette preached a wonderful sermon on salvation. The choir sang beautifully. I was so glad he talked about salvation bc I am growing just a little weary on the things you need to do have a prosperous life on earth. I think it's too many lost souls to incessantly preach on how to receive a financial blessing. I think when your soul is right with God, he will start to bless you spiritually, mentally, financially, emotionally, any kind of blessing. Anyway, it was wonderful.
This year I decided to give up meat and sodas for Lent. The meat part is quite difficult. It hasn't even been a week and I am struggling. I didn't know I was supposed to be praying about something in the process. I thought it was just a sacrifice because Jesus sacrificed those fourty days in the wilderness and Lent was symbolic of that. However, two people have asked me what I am praying for during Lent. I didn't have an answer because I didn't know I needed one. So today I prayed that God gives me guidance and show me where he wants me to go in August. I should have started on The Purpose Driven Life on Ash Wednesday and finished it for Easter. It seems like I could have commited to that.
I have started to let go of the possibilty that someone I dated may be bisexual. I'm not saying I doubt that he is or that I am sure that he is; I'm just saying I can't worry with it. If he is, he is and if he ain't, he ain't. That's not for me to consider. One of my friends suggesting writing him a letter, which will probably be good for both of us, but right now I really don't know what to say. I don't really want to question him because I don't know what good it would do. I don't know. Maybe something will come to me.
I had a wonderful weekend. Friday night I went to Gamma Rho's probate show and they did well. Then I went to Gamma Omicron's and QPsiPhi party and had a blast. It was good seeing so many of my line sisters, especially Tiffiney! Then last night, I finally finished The Violent Bear It Away. Then I went to see Madea's Family Reunion and it was great. I laughed and cried, laughed and cried, tears of happiness, tears of pain. It was just a good movie. I especially liked the commentary of the state of the Black Family. Of course, there were quite a few scenes that were overdone and one of the leading actresses couldn't act worth a dime, but overall, it was good. I'd been waiting to see it, but everytime I made plans, something came up.
I am going to read a little for mid-terms tomorrow. My daddy will be here at 630, so I need to knock some of this work out.
