You know what I'm talking about - a moment where God let's you see how sometimes the grass isn't always greener.
You see, I've been feeling really, really down and lonely lately. I've been cooped up in my house, isolated from pretty much everyone because of a hurt back and just feeling very sorry for my single, unmarried self
Well, I just went to the grocery store and the manager is a long time friend of mine. He just got married in September and from pretty much the 2nd week of the marriage he knew he had made a mistake
Hooo boy how many times have I thought that! I just want to get married. I just don't want to be single any more. Etc Etc...
Well, I've watched my friend struggle with this new marriage. There are to many details of what was wrong to list here but it was rocky pretty much all the time. Yet, he wanted to make it work because he had been married before and didn't want to be a twice-divorced man in his early 40's.
Well, tonight he told me that his wife moved out. He said it was just time and that they should've just had the marriage annulled in the first month
I feel for him. He knows that they made a mistake by getting married in the first place and it would've been a bigger mistake to continue on living with the turmoil and resentment that was building in both of them. He now has to go thru another divorce and rebuilding his life. Yes, this was a short marriage but it still hurts
As I was walking out to my car after making my purchases, I said, God - I don't want to JUST get married and I don't want to JUST not be single any more. I want what you have for me. If that is marriage, I want the man you have hand picked to be my husband. If it is to remain single for the rest of my life, I want to focus on you and your love for me and how I can serve you. I don't JUST want anything any more...I want YOU and YOUR plan.
Thank God for one of those moments...
