Every morning God gives us a blank sheet to create a story of ourself and the people and situations that come by. Be an author that writes with love and hope.....Teresa Helton

Teresa Helton is perhaps my first real "Dating" relationship in years. A few know my story but more than anything God knows my heart. We should date as God intended us to date. it will take someone very special and very understanding to eventually to become my last life partner in this world. He will make that decision when he is ready.

 

I have often said that my life is now very transparent and I like sharing with others. What I give to others is given back to me 10 times over to me. When you truly understand Love and when I say that I mean the "Love of God" and not man it is an incredible existence.

 

I have many flickr friends who I hope visit my site and I love those who share a bit of their world with me.

 

More than FlickR I have many friends, family, church members, neighbors and children who visit my site.

 

So far I have had 170,000 hits to my site. Very lame compared to many, but a lot to me. I hope that along the way God will use this site to his will and make it be known to me in heaven one day. This earth is not my home. If you don't understand and this sounds strange, I understand as I felt the same way not too long ago.

 

I say all this because now I am about to share perhaps the most intimate part of my life about someone that I have somehow brought into my life to share the moment with me.

 

Anything I say can and will be used against me as she knows my site and knows where to find me.

 

This is my take on dating, our relationship, and what it means to me. It is also a testament about this incredible human being whom God designed and who God brought into my life at this time for his reasons, not ours.

 

Teresa Helton was born in Bangkok, adopted and raised southern, Baptists in the Mississippi Delta. She is a physical therapist who ministers daily to the often forgotten in our society. She plucks mustaches, does fingernails, hair and makes her little ladies at the nursing home look pretty. She compassionately flirts with the older gentlemen in a kind way and makes them feel special. She talks about her first love often and that is her Lord and savior Jesus Christ. her children where raised in the church, the choir, Bible study. all this was initiated by her. She was the lone adult to attend church in her immediate family. She will never have to make any excuses too God as to why she was not able to raise her children as God requires us.

 

She is wonderful friends with her Ex and has raised her 3 sisters, her mother, and her 3 children (who will all be leaders). they will all admit to her alpha female qualities. She takes no prisoners (except me) (inside Joke). She takes on everything in life as a challenge with God at the helm.

 

Reasons we are dating;

 

First and foremost she is a Christian and I am a very distant priority at this point in time in our relationship.

 

If we never saw each other again she would be fine. She keeps her site on God not me.

She does not believe in being depressed. If you feel sorry for yourself, travel with her one day. See the death and misery she sees each day.

 

I have never seen her without a smile on her face. She does not believe in complaining.

 

When she engages in conversation with the Governor or if she ever engaged in conversation with the President of the united States she would expect him to listen as she would have a much higher IQ than he and would have more knowledge on the subject matter at hand.

 

I our relationship she knows that I am the quiet Alpha male and we I chose to speak she should chose to listen. There is great mutual respect.

 

She usually leave her home at 4;15 Am and hopefully gets home at by 7:00. The kids have their roles so no excuses in the home not being clean. When she cooks she cooks as a gourmet chief would cook and loves to feed every kid in the neighborhood including me when I drop by. Her house is a zoo. God is teaching me patience.

 

Neither of us have time to date so it makes for the perfect date at this point and time in our lives.

 

Our daily phone conversations are 3 minutes max. Remember we are dating. We are not in some relationship of lust that would be guaranteed to fizzle in 2 months. We are slowly getting to know each other...................slowly.

 

She has seen me cry on her shoulder a lot more than I have heard her cry. As a matte of fact I don't think I have never heard her cry or complain about anything. I have whined way too much to her. We usually finish with asking if I can drop by the nursding home and vist with one of her paralized patients.

 

She may be the most accomplished woman I have ever personally met in my life and I do not mean that in a worldly since at all.

 

Our last date was dinner at her house with all the neighborhood kids. Our next date will be throwing a "lord of the rings" or whatever that new movie coming out is party. She gathers all the kids form the neighborhood, Joel and Russ's boys and has a party and then all go to the late showing and then they all spend the night at her home. She will go to bed that night at 12:00 and wake up at 4:15 that morning with a smile on her face ready for the day. no complaints. her saying is that she doen't have room for it in "her one Brain cell".

 

She leaves in a few days to go to Vegas to pack her mother, bring her home where she wil spend the majority of her life living with Teresa and traveling back to Thailand to visit and work with the monks.

 

I have no idea where our relationship is going as that will all be in God's hands but I do know that like everyone else that comes into my life he has his reason and meeting an individual like her will always be one of his greatest blessings in my life.

 

We have both agreed to live for the present in our relationship and I will consider it a gift every moment we are together.

 

God's grace, peace and blessings always my friend.

 

With love, Bill
