A series of Random Events..

So this weekend proved to be rather eventful and I really did not know if I had the energy to write about it. Okay that is only half true, so much happened I did not feel like writing about it is closer to the truth. But anyway, I am ready now...

This weekend proved to be one of those weekends that change you and how you view your life and where it is headed.  For the last few months, I have been living life a little "willy-nilly", and it all came to a head, so to speak, on Friday night. I won't go into all the random details but I will say this it involved the spiking of my coca-cola (alledgedly--I needed to loosen up a bit), a chemistry-less kiss, an argument that I did not find out the root of until Monday, and the shedding of tears by some new friends. All in all it was a bit much but I learned some valuable lessons that I am ready to share.

Lesson #1 - When in a room full of people in various stages of drunkeness, if you do not plan on drinking, get your OWN bevarage.  No matter how close you are to the individuals--alcohol makes people do crazy things.

Lesson #2 - If you do drink, and you have a taste for Vanilla Coke--3 parts coca-cola and 1 part Crown Royal will meet that need.

Lesson #3 - No matter how old you are peer pressure is a part of life. However (comma) it is not an excuse.  The reality of life is no matter what you may say, everything you do is because you want to.  Excuses only come after you realize "you done" messed it all up.

Lesson #4 - Testing the Lord is not a good idea.  Example - Lord I know that I said that I would not do this thing any more (whatever it is you know you shouldn't do) but I want to see if I am really over it. News flash - I am stupid! Thankfully, the Lord showed some grace and it turned out well, there was no love lost - literally! I kept all my virtue and I am on the mend.

Lesson #5 - Be who you are, do you, stay true to what you believe in..because if you are not, it is a long journey from who you have become back to who you were created to be. I cannot become a bad girl because people do not like squares.  I can not become your dream girl-I have to be what you like when you meet me. Potential is not enough, who I am today is what you see.  I can only be who I am, I like it and I need to walk in it!

Overall, I am glad that it all happened. I have seen some parts of me that need to change and I am a work in progress. Sometimes you do not know where you are until you are shown. And I have truly seen myself this past weekend. I am not upset, I have been fortified and have packed away the lessons for future reference. 

Now wait until you hear what happened to me yesterday! LOL...
