I is am are were was dating this great guy. Seriously, an amazing man who I would be hard pressed to find fault with. But that’s not the point. I’ll get to the point – We’re not dating anymore. Basically, God, the author our relationship, decided not to write in part of it – the romantic, butterflies, love notes, poems, etc, part – so we’re better served as friends.
How does that make you feel? – you may ask.
The Lord has been sweet to me as I’ve worked out this relationship. If you know me at all, have read any post on here, have talked to someone who knows me, have ever looked at me, etc – you know I long for that next stage of life where I become a wife.
Relationships that don’t work out have the potential to leave me jaded, bitter, hopeless – any number of sad emotions. But as I walk through this, I am none of those things.
Instead, the Lord has answered my prayer for a guarded heart, peace and hope. It’s been really good.
Why am I sharing this? Because the theme of this processing has been “God is for Me.” No matter what happens in my relationships, in my daily life, in work, in my heart – God is for me. And He’s for my happiness and He’s for my good.
Do you hear that, people?! God is for me! God is for you! So wherever you are right now, it is God’s best for you. Alone right now is God’s best for me (not alone-alone, but you understand).
We can all forget that when faced with disappointment of any kind. I’m thankful for the reminder. Hope it serves you well, too!

On an ironic note: My last 3 relationships have ended as soon as the guy came back from being out of town for a week or more. The next guy I date CAN NEVER LEAVE TOWN!!!
love y’all!
