So I'm not sure if I'm reading this right, but you're saying that possibly your gender helped nudge him in a better direction to be a better person?
Returning to something maybe he had forgotten?
I have his ear.
We just had a convo. about this today at work.
The bartender said something about her recent ex not listening...or hearing...her.
( I just had deja vu... literally)
I forget the difference.
Hindsight is difficult. The man listens more than he did when I was around. Such is life.
You've never been married right?
Do you ever feel like if you did...the world would end?
...ha ha...
No. I've had a lot of proposals and discussions along those lines. Even in my wayward days.
I don't feel my world would end. My circumstances give me liberties I wouldn't have otherwise. I look to the Lord for guidance. Finding a Christian suitor is a process. I've contemplated things from different angles. It took awhile for me to own what I needed in a companion completely.
I'm not afraid to marry. But I won't forge a bad alliance. I don't have the ache or yearning that would compel me to compromise.
I was like I'd like a woman who's laid back, and not all uptight all the time.
Then he said something about not having any free time, because a woman is demanding of your time. He's like they want you there all the time, but then they want you to get out and make money too.
Then we got to talking about a woman that doesn't want her man there...probably cheating, ha ha.
It can be tough. There's always so many 'perfect' people who have their life together.I don't attend worship services on weekends.
I haven't stepped foot inside a church for years.
As odd as it may seem, church is a place I do not feel welcomed. I get looks and stares from folks most places I go, but it's magnified at church. I don't feel any sense of belonging when present with other people. In my head I hear the song "one of these things in not like the others; one of these things just isn't the same..."
Yesterday was not good. I felt like crying.
It's okay my friend.Cry it all out until He does something. It may not be a happy thing but it's a healthy sign.
You are a good lady to say this to help others, GospelS.*salutes*
Thank you, my friend. I'm only imitating Him. It comes from seeing through the eyes of our heavenly Father. It brings me to tears. I wish I could somehow wipe everyone's tears. There is an overflowing abundance in me. It just flows out. I beheld His glory.
