Pinch me.
After years of inactivity in my "love life", I had almost forgotten what it feels like to meet someone. I heard once that in those initial stages, God gives people the gift of seeing that person for who they were really meant to be...sans all of the mistakes and insecurities and fears and worries that often plague us and our relationships. I could definitely see that to be true. How is this even happening? Here I am, minding my own business, volunteering at a children's home where there are NO available men (we have three men on staff here...all married), and somehow I meet this guy who comes here for just two days to serve with his team from a church in Australia. What are the chances that we would hit it off from the word "hello", and not stop talking since? What are the chances that he would hit every check mark on my list and then some? What are the chances that he is just as into me as I am into him? Judging by past experience, the chances for all of these things to align are slim to none, yet this is really happening. I'm REALLY going to Australia to visit him to see if there's something to this....am I dreaming? Somebody pinch me, please.

I guess you'll never know unless you give it a try.
Go for it you deserve to find love and Happiness and if he was sent from God than you know better to not obey! Will say prayer for you.
How exaciting!! And there is nothing like an Australian accent! Very sexy. :)
When are you going? Where are you staying and how long will you be ther? Okay, I know these are Mom questions, but you still need to guard your heart and make God proud. We all know how temptation can ease its way into our lives and take over if we let it. Just be careful! And keep us posted. :) Love you, my sister in Christ.
Consider yourself PINCHED! :)
It sounds like an exciting adventure. I am glad that you found somebody that you "hit" it off with. I agree with Marni - be careful but also go for it.
Chantel,
I LOVE your "mom" questions. I'll be going mid-May, just before I head home for PACE. I'll be there for probably close to two weeks, and I'll be staying with a couple from his church who lives in a house of one of my dear friends here (she's a missionary). Both of us very much want to guard ourselves against temptation while we're in the same vicinity, so we're going to surround ourselves with plenty of people. :) Oh, and I'll be staying in Melbourne! I know that it sounds so crazy and 'out there', but I really see the Lord's hand in all of this. I can't wait to share about it when I return. :)
Thank you for answering my drills. You passed. You have my blessing....:)
