A Date Party

I've been invited to go to a fraternity Date Party. Never had that opportunity before. I met Ryan on the Honduras trip I just got back from. We grew to be great friends, and are still friends now. He lives about an hour away in Stillwater, OK.

Sunday Evening, Sonya and I decided to take a road trip to see our Honduras friends and he happened to be able to hang out with the group. He told us that his fraternity usually tries to have a date party on Friday Nights, and instead of having the typical dance party, the "frat" decided to go to a formal Theatrical Play in OKC, OK. (cool huh!)

Three Musketeers will be showing this Friday Night at 8:00pm at the OKC Civic Center. I won't be able to join them, but Sonya is trying her best to make it.

It's always fun to dress up really nice, go to dinner with friends, and enjoy a theatrical play!! I haven't had that experience formally, but I've always wanted to!

Sonya, Ryan, and I plan to just hang out after the play, maybe over a cup of coffee. How cute will they be....Sonya in her little black dress! and Ryan in his suit and tie! I better bring my camera..it's not every day that Sonya does this sort of thing!

Oh and by the way, Sonya is my best friend...practically a sister to me. And she has committed as well to stay single for the Lord. I'm glad she can experience this with a good friend!

A Life Update: Less Personal

I can be a pretty "deep" person. So here's something to lighten things up. A life update from Chantel Behney.
1. I have 3 months left of my 2nd year of Masters Commission: www.destinymc.tv.
2. This summer I plan to work at Ruth's Bookstore in Quail Springs mom. My mother now Manages the store.
3. I plan to also work part time in a local dance studio: cleaning, answering phones, gaining experience.
4. I have made a commitment to give my full attention to God instead of a dating relationship.
5. I will be attending the University of Central Oklahoma; Majoring in Business, Minoring in Dance (or vise versa). I plan to begin my Dance focus my Sophmore year.
6. I plan to be very involved with Masters as long as I can. I have a heart to see the program grow and develop into what God has designed it to be specifically for Destiny Masters Commission. This may include teaching classes, hanging out, or maybe just praying.
7. My mom and dad will be moving to OKC in just a few months. My brother will be attending a local university in the area- It will be so great to have the whole family together again!
8. I am still unsure of where I will have an apartment, but I am looking close at Edmond now. My heart was set on Del City...we'll see!

Here's a short update to put it simply! Any Q's? I have answers!

3rd Degree Obedience

Im experiencing a season of 3rd degree Obedience. To explain, obeying God doesn't feel good all the time. Sometimes, it hurts as bad as a 3rd degree burn.
Recently, I realized where I was in my life. I'm young, I'm about to go to college, and I'm missing out. Since I have started dating, I've never been without a boyfriend. I have never truly given God my full attention. All I can remember is the struggle to balance God and my Guy. To be honest, I always failed.
I owe so much more to God. And I owe more to my future husband. I want to take a time out. I want to fix some deep things in my life so that I may better honor God and my family. My way of thinking, my morals, my values, my priorities...my way of communication.
I ended my relationship with my boyfriend. The person I cared most about in my life. I have never experienced hurt like this that has come from this decision.
All I want is to be obedient. God is calling me to be more, and I think its time that I follow this call. His blessing is on the one who loves him. I know that he is blessing me even in this tough situation.
What is God asking of you? Are you willing to obey?
When it hurts, I'm here.
