The lord of the rings vs. me (Craig and his engagement ring)!
So it’s kind of funny to think about it, Frodo is given a ring and a burden was placed with it, what was this burden?
Well just like the burden that Frodo was given I carry one much like his, sure I said to my self that I won’t let it affect my decision making and nor did he. It was as long he didn’t put the ring on. Some times with us we place things on our minds and hearts and we never find how to give them up. In a past few months I was struggling with emotions for a girl who abandon me and God asked me knowing that I would do anything for her no matter what asking me, “I know you would do anything for her, what will you give up for me?” and I knew from that I need to give her up to God, not giving up on her but giving her up to him. So I did and weeks later she comes back to me. Well then I thought wow things are getting better at a slow pace and maybe this is really what God wanted for us, I know I did and I still felt and feel the same for her, so with my self being patient I gave things time. In the middle of her reading a book that I got her it may have made her realize things, yet she asks of me to hold on and wait. She only dose so because of how much I really do care for her. She let me go to live in the flesh yet she is trying to give it up but I swear she is getting what may be right mixed up, and well I’m slightly pushed aside and asked to wait.
I’m thinking about this and realized that I can wait but having ring in hand makes things just a bit harder and I think maybe I need to let it go! Just like how Frodo had a ring and a burden that was so hard to just let go to, and this ring that I have isn’t so easy to carry any more. The weight got heavier the second time around and so The question is this do I need to lose the ring? Yes it’s meant for her and if she returns she can be assure that I will love her just as much with or with out the ring. Yes there is a real ring and no a metaphor. I feel at this time just having the ring would be a burden, and I need to ask my self, “Why would I hold this burden, why would I carry it so far when I can let it go and be free from it”. Never knew that a burden could be so real as in a physical matter and not just a matter of the hearts.
God bless her.
