Ok...here's the story behind this event. I have two blogs that are my pride and joy that I like to experiment with, one can be traced back to me and the other is fairly anonymous (innocent stuff:). So I was doing some updates and checking out the stats, tweeting and all of that when I stumbled across #februarywish as a group/topic/search trending worldwide on twitter! Anyway, not surprisingly, most of the persons on there were throwing a pity party online and I could so relate.Bah Humbug!
You see the thing with Valentine's day is that there is no fooling yourself...you can't ignore it (unless of course, you are half robot). It is just in your face and rightly so as it is one of the biggest consumer events for the year, next to Christmas and you best believe that the business world will be making the best use of it! Red and White will be thrown in your face...so then what to do for the eternally single (lol), recently heartbroken, separated or divorced? Prepare to enjoy it. Don't let sad, lonely feelings take you by surprise!
Some of you may have found love in the past year and may even be celebrating lasting love and that's fantastic! If you can afford it, make use of the climate and the assortment of gifts to choose from. Go to a Valentine's Day dinner, on a trip etc. If not decide on some other activity that you enjoy that you will do on the day or leading up to it. (Starting to sound like summn from e-how?lol). Now for the real darlings of Valentine's...
If you have no idea yet what to do with yourself, don't even feel like acknowleding the day, then you can drop by 'Enkounters' and the event page to see what goodies will surface! An old friend of mine mentioned having people share stories of 'I thought he was the one'...lol...that could work, but why dwell on the negative of the past when we can make something great out of whatever is...right now? :D So share, share, share your stories. I say even if it's not your own personal story, share it! It may be a real life couple you admire...change up the names if you have to and encourage especially those who have lost love or given up hope on love that there is hope for love in the future.
Love Dee,
xoxo

Tara and I had met a few times but it was only when we were both leaders at a national youth conference in Scotland that I had the moment where I thought "this girl has something about her". Tara was the speaker at one of the main meetings and it was the things she said that really made an impression on me. It was clear that she was a woman of God and really wanted to honour God with her life. Thankfully she's now my wife and she's such a blessing. Recently we've had some challenging situations to deal with and she's been a fantastic support. I want to big her up for these reasons and many more.
