My Mike

It occurred to me last night that I probably should talk about my life more than the tiny excerpts that I rarely inform yall of, like a general aspect of my life so you actually know where I am and what I'm doing.
Well I have currently been back in Greenville for almost 3 months, just spending time with my family and friends. These few months have been amazing; being able to reconnect with my mom and best friends has truly been a blessing.
You may have noticed, but only if you read my last post, that I was just in Oregon. In fact I was there for two awesome weeks visiting my boyfriend. We just hit our three months a couple days ago and things have been amazing. Yes, it has been super hard dating someone on the opposite coast, but we both feel like God planed this so that we could work kinks out, grow and make sure we wanted to be together.

Well, let me tell you some things about him:

He is 6' 2",

Italian,

and a YWAMer.

We meet this summer in Haiti; he was the national director for Mission Adventures in Haiti and I came along as a staff member for a little bit. During that time I got to see his relationship with God. There is something different about being on outreach; the lack of food, sleep, cleanliness, organization, and security, reveals to others how dependent you are on Christ. And what I saw in him made me admire and respect him. 

I believe that the man should lead the relationship, should drive them both toward God and desire to spend more time with Him and be more like Him .... and Mike does that.
