I went out with my mom to have dinner while my dad was out for the evening. My mom and I are so similar, its quite creepy. We're both these weird artistic types that still have somewhat well-developed social skills and a very deep-rooted connection to the Almighty that we take with us everyday. We talked a lot about life, about my brother and his fixation with the current girl he's seeing, and stuff like that. It was quite interesting cause the subject was switched to me and my future-wife (no, I'm not engaged or even know who that is, so chill). But my mother knows my about my convictions towards observing Torah as a part of serving Messiah, and even though she isn't Torah-observant, she said that I should wait and marry a girl with the same dedication to Torah and Messiah that I have. "You need a Messianic girl. Hold out for one." It was reassuring because she doesn't even agree with my beliefs 100%, but she recognizes that finding someone who works better with what I believe and not necessarily what she wants me to be or believe will benefit myself, my future wife, and my future children the most.

I'm taking her words to heart. I love you, Mom.

So many different things have happened to me in the past couple weeks, but I've learned so much in that time. I went through a breakup in a relationship, I gained a new job, I've gone through issues with money and school...but I'm still convinced that Yah makes no mistakes. Nothing is to be taken for granted; even the trouble-some experiences we face. They are all connected to something else. Everything is connected.

So much has been revealed to me. Though I've felt pain, I will rejoice. Yah is good and instructs us more everyday.
