The years leading up to where i am now, i was this when it came to dating:
Yep...got too excited at a dating opportunity and then i got impatient and tried to go to fast. Didn't work. And i just got to use a Tommy Boy clip, so hey it worked.
Over time until i got to about April 2012, i just did what i always did and went about doing nice things and someone appreciated it and ended up loving me for it.
The point is this:
Women: Be honest and tell the truth about how you feel and wait for Lord's timing
Men: Be honest and tell the truth about how you feel and wait for Lord's timing
See what i did there? Yeah...not too complicated. Looking back, it makes much more sense. If both men and women just said straight up the truth and were honest about how they feel, probably less would have such a hard time with dating. If you're doing all you can and still nothing, that's fine; it works out eventually. You think i wanted to be 25 just get married? No, but it worked out and it's the right time. Same applies for all.
Now i better go to bed before i say more that goes unread :P
Good lesson to learn. Waiting on the Lord's timing can be hard, but so important. It's like baking - some things are "done" more quickly, like cookies, others take longer, like brownies. If you try to hurry the cooking time, either by just taking them out early or by increasing the heat or something, you'll never end up with the delicious dessert you could have had. You just need to be patient and let each unique thing have the unique time it needs. And sometimes, even at the end, you'll find something needs another minute or so. And that's OK too. As long as everything gets what it individually needs. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd believe me, it applies to far more than dating. ;)
