What I Believe About Dating. And the "End"
I know, Dustin, I said some things that made you uncomfortable but think about it this way:
If I'm living as if I'm going to be alone one day, it only makes me appreciate my time with you more. And its not just dating relationships, its everything (friendships, good times with my family, anything). I know everything has a termination point. I have faith in God, and I have faith that anything is going to last only as long as he wants it to. If God wants us to end - we will end. I will not fight Him on whatever He wants me to do. I'm not giving up now, not saying I'm going to or was going to. I was following what God said. And to be honest, I'm not sure. But I remember - crystal clear - that God told me that everything has an end. Thats why I believe this.
For everyone else out there? I believe the same is true. I follow God - even unto death. And I don't want anyone to ever forget that everything ends. Ty and Kristen even, will end. As much as Ty and Kristen both hate hearing it, I think they realize it somewhere deep down in their hearts. And if they don't? More power to them. I see it. I see it everywhere I look that it will end, but it makes me realize how much I enjoy something and helps me make the most of it.
Like a gold refinery pulls the imperfections out with fire, God pulls them out of me with hard times. Its just phases, parts of my life that are needed to make me the person God intended. Why do you think I went through everything and came out with a smile? Because I believed God would tell me where to go if I had a question. I did, and this is where I am. With friends against me, against my decision. But God has my way out and I know he'll pull me through and out of this wreck. Its just a phase. A purifying phase.
It burns like a hot coal in the palm of my hand, and it rings as true as a bell of Notre Dame . This is what is true for me. Everything will end. But knowing that God has a plan for me? It brings me out smiling - with wings of an angel. What about that is so hard to believe? Why can't you buy my words, my beliefs? This is what I feel, what I've lived by. I've suppressed everything until it was unbearable. And to that end I do this now: I tell you how I can come out on top with a smile on my face even after as much pain as I have gone through.
God is with me. And if He is for me, who can be against me?
** Adjustment: Endings are on God's time - not mine. If God doesn't want it to end? Then it won't. High School relationships on the other hand? End.
