So if you didn’t know my best friend is Cassie and I kinda like to keep her around because shes always there when I need her. Some might think that there’s more to it with her but really there isn’t. I love her to death and shes the best friend a guy could have. I’ve known Cassie for about 6 years and she used to work with me and the fun hours. Back then I was attending Asbury in Tulsa and assisting their video production etc. Well after a few months of what I call abuse I decided church wasn’t fun anymore. I spent a month not going anywhere and knew god had something in store for me but if I didn’t try I’d never known. I had a friend Katie whom ran across a young adult group at a baptist church that I liked until I felt they were just a little weird and I got out of there and a few months later Katie bailed also. I seriously had no idea how to find a church I wanted to attend. I want contemporary praise and worship with a leader and singers with the words projected not from a hymnal. There was a church called Guts I went to and I left 1/2 thru the service after feeling like it was a cult of sorts. I tried Life Church and others. I would look in the phone book or google and see when their service started and would just show up and sit somewhere and “audit” the church. After about a year of random churches here and there I was bitching about it in the newsroom and Cassie whom had only been there a few months said she was going thru the same thing with her husband Brett #1 and her friend Corina and they had found a church in southern Broken Arrow called Destiny Church and I waited a few weeks then decided to jump in and go and I was floored. This church was everything I was looking for and I had the bonus of having Cassie and her husband so I wasn’t alone. After a year or so Cassie had moved jobs and broke the news that she was moving to Texas with her husband as he took a new job. I was sad but still went to Destiny and got involved in their singles program which wasn’t much of anything. Every few weeks Cassie would show up to church for her “fix” and see family. I missed her and I was going thru some horrid issues and the only consistent thing was the church. In late 2010 Cassie came back for a few weeks to do office work where she had been working remotely. It was good to see her and go grab lunch after church and just chat about life. Sometime in late 2010 early 2011 Cassie came back and said she was back for good without Brett #1 and that they were getting a divorce. Cassie doesn’t like to push her problems on others but she opened up to me and I could see how good of an actor she really was. All thru 2011 we have had a standing date that we’d meet at 9am every Sunday and then lunch or a movie and if we really got crazy we’d eat after a movie. I think the thing about Cassie to me shes like a sister or best friend you were born to meet. Sometime in 2011 Cassie introduced Brett #2 to me and church and he would join us afterwards to lunch or movie. I don’t mind sharing Cassie but I’m protective of her. To Start off 2012 sound the bell because Brett #1 is back at our church granted we have yet to cross paths with him I figure it’s only time. Now Cassie met Brett #2 after #1 was gone so there was no wrong doing. She just has a thing for Bretts =)
I hope in 2012 that I get to keep Cassie in my life regardless the choices I make or the directions she moves in her life. I will just have to tell anyone I date seriously that it’s a package deal. Cassie has great things in her future I can just tell..
Thanks for being there kiddo.
