When I moved up here to Oroville, I had no friends and most of my family was far away.
I am constantly amazed at what God is doing in my life, and in the lives of those around me.
My Axiom family is so amazing and I love them so much.
In the past six months I've had some all around weird experiences with some um.. interesting guys. I figured out last night that the reason I was creeped out by these type of guys so much is that I knew what they wanted. They wanted something I couldn't/wouldn't give them. I know they didn't respect me.
I love hanging out with the guys that I work with because I know they love me like a little sister and are protective of me. For example, this last semester there was a man who decided to send me some rather colorful text messages basically because I turned him down. After this happened, I was kind of upset during my shift and went into the back for a second to pull myself together. I knew that the kids would see it on my face and ask questions. Two of my friends who I work with at Axiom, Matt and Tyler came back to make sure I was okay. I told them I was. They stayed with me until I cooled down a bit, and then helped me laugh at it by telling me tales of what they were going to do in order to keep 'their sis' safe. Today I went on the roof with Matt and Tyler, just to do some small repair on a sign. Both were careful to make sure I was safe going up and down the ladder. It really isn't that big of a deal, I mean they would have done it for anyone. It's not just Matt and Tyler either, I mean Justin, Chris and all the guys I work with. That's what gets me. These guys that I've begun to hang around are different. I know , like everyone says that who ever they are dating is "different" but I'm not dating any of these guys. After having in depth talks with a few of them I have just begun to realize there is decent guys out there that are Men of God. I am waiting for the man God has for me, I just need to remind myself of that sometimes.
I am thankful for my new family. Whether its playing sardines in the church, or just chillin out with a kid who needs Christ at the Axiom. I'm always so thankful to see Christ at work in their lives.
