CORTNEY'S CORNER

Yep, I am no longer a single woman. Ooha ooha! Wanna know the WHOLE story? Sparing no details? Okay, I'll tell you. I warned you... This is the whole story... aka, it's going to be long. THURSDAY, JANUARY 10TH: If you want the whole story, it started a few days before. Saturday is typically Dan & me's date night, you see. But this Saturday I planned to go to Lexington to spend the day with my best friend Hayley and spend the night with my other best friend, Maggie. I told Dan this on Thursday and since I ruined our date night, asked him to come with me. He said he didn't think he would because he didn't think any of his friends would be down there.

Sometimes I post quotes on here that are too long to tweet. Curse that 140 character limit. Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house.

But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of -  throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself. C. S. Lewis
