A part of me was pretty convinced I'd end up living the rest of my life without finding someone to love. But now that I have found love, I realize I actually believed I'd live the rest of my life without finding anyone to love me. There's a pretty big difference between the two...
Remember Patrick Dempsey in Can't Buy Me Love? Well, I certainly never considered paying Amy $1000 to be my girlfriend for a month, but earlier in our relationship, I'd catch myself wondering where the gun was hiding....you know - the gun that was pointed at her head, threatening to shoot her unless she pretended to love me. It's crazy, but true.
But I also think it was important for me to have had those thoughts.....because it allowed God to move in and say something like "See dumbass! I told you I had good things planned for your life!" - and now I'm able to own those good things....that best thing....that love.....that person.
God is good.
Really, really good.
And I'm blessed.
Really, really blessed.
