Chapter...what chapter are we on?

Funny, I had written out this long three page rant and when I finished and read it, felt God tell me not to post it. 

I don't want this blog to be a place for my rants anymore, but rather a place for my thoughts.  Good thoughts at that.  People don't need to read about me being angry at others. They can turn on the news and see that. 

Don't get me wrong, I get angry.  I get angry a lot.  That's not what I am trying to do here.  I want to challenge me and others to think about life differently.  So reading about me being angry or depressed will not benefit anyone or myself at all. 

The past blogs will stay up, but I guess this means that I will not be posting as much until I have a nice complete (or incomplete) thought to right down. 

I will say this, God has been doing a remarkable work in me as of lately.  I have blogged about not having anyone to share life with when it dawned on me this past weekend (Friday night to be exact). 

I have quite a few people to experience life with.  Maybe not in a romantic sense, but none the less, I have a ton of friends and family who want to be a part of my life. 

People find it strange when I tell them that I am still friends with the same 4 people from high school, but you know what?  I find it strange that they don't have one friend like the four friends I have.  I actually feel sorry for them. 

I will say this.  We are all human and there is a desire to love and be loved by another.  And when a person is not returning that love, you have to be able to understand that there is someone out there who will and who wants to. 

The hardest thing to ever do is let go of someone you love.  Whether it is in a romantic sense or a platonic sense, it is difficult.  When my grandfather died, it was hard for us to say goodbye, but we knew he was happy, so we felt peace. 

The same goes for a romantic situation. You may love someone, but they don’t love you anymore.  The fact that you do love them and know they are happy should and will comfort you.  Maybe not right away, but soon, you will start to love someone as much if not more than them.

And just like when you lose a loved one by death and lean towards your friends, you should lean towards them just as much when you finally let go of a loved one in a romantic sense.

As for me, I feel peace now. 

I trust God.  I pray and trust that everything will be under His protection always. 

As for me, well… stayed tuned….
