In life I meet people & I think, "Ok! Let's see where this goes." I know I am a woman & we don't see things near the same as guys. As women we tend to look too far ahead & over think things. We envision rings on our fingers before we even get a first date. We see the white picket fence in front of the cute country house before he even says those all too famous three little words.
As I go through this stage in my life I tend to sometimes question why God slams doors in my face. Why can't He just gently close them? Why must they always be slammed? Then as time goes on I realize that if some of these doors were gently closed I might not learn the lesson & try to walk back through them. I've caught myself trying to reopen some of those slammed doors just to have them slammed again. One day I might learn my lesson.
After I get over the stage of, "Why did you do this to me, God?" I come to realize that He knows some of what He's doing. So when "Let's see where this goes" comes along I have learned to pray about it & just ask Him to go before me on this trip & if I'm going to come out hurt to just close that door before I picture myself with the ring on my finger & living in the cute country home with the picket fence.
Sometimes I just have to sit back & let Him lead the way down this path & know that one day He will bless Hayden & I with the most amazing man. And when he blesses me with this man, I will have learned so many lessons that I can be the most amazing woman to this man.
So here is to "Rocking this single life" & trusting in Him when "Lets see where this goes" comes around. I know that the best things come to those who wait...So I will wait & pray that the most amazing man is out there somewhere!
This is what Rocking the single life is all about while
Creating Our Own Normal!
Hang in there girl. God knew you were a strong enough woman to handle this. He is making and molding you into an even stronger woman that is learning (like all the rest of us) to lean up on His own understanding. When our human minds can't wrap around what is happening, we have to learn to depend on Him or we just sulk and pout. You're a great mom!!
ReplyDelete:) I know all to well how you feel. When that "feeling" comes creeping toward me... I stop and pray. There is a total warm feeling that comes over me and I know that God is wrapping his arms around me and holding me. I couldn't agree more that without all the pain we wouldn't see or learn the lesson. I know for sure that I am still learning from mine. You are a GREAT woman and mother!!! My life has been blessed by meeting you. Hunter and I will be forever thankful for your part in our lives. :)
