Points to ponder amid the noise...
This week starts the last week of craziness that is the end of the school year. I swear my 2nd graders have senioritis. They are crazy. I pray everyday for the strength to make it through without loosing my mind. Its pretty much glorified babysitting the last few days because report cards are due Mon. Oh well.
I was thinking today (as I often try to do to keep my sanity), about relationships and I realized something. I used to thing there was one person out there for everyone and only a few people were lucky enough to get a second chance. I believed in soulmates and all that fairytale garbage. But through experience, and prayer and reading some great books on the topic I realized that relationships all have to do with choice. Sure, I believe that God brings two people together to meet for whatever reason, but ultimately it is our choices in the matter on whether the relationship moves forward or never gets off the ground. I realized that it is this awesome power of choice that scares me to death.
I had made the wrong choice before and although I do not regret it and learned many valuable things from my experience, whats to say it won't happen again? The fact that there is not one person out there soley for me is quite terrifying.. How am I suppossed to find the right one? Because I have met many great guys since my divorce. How do I know when I'm starting a relationship with someone that I'm not really meant to be with someone else. These are the questions that plaugue my thoughts. And yes, I know I'm suppossed to trust in God and He will guide me, I get that, but it's filtering out the static in order to hear that still small voice thats the dilemma. Hmmmmm. This will require much more thought and reflection.
