The last serious relationship I was in ended badly... to say the least.
I was in love. Perhaps the notion that I was in love with the idea of being in love is probably more accurate. It was my first relationship since my mom died and my divorce. I thought this man was a gift. There were red flags. I tend to be attracted to the broken. But I would love him more! So I said a prayer each night to God: if this is not the man for me - show me; take him away. God had to show me BIG. Nothing small would do. One day He walked me right over to the man's house and I walked in on him having "relations" with a married women. I left. Got in my car and right then and there thanked God for showing me what I needed to know.
God has taken care of me since then too. Just tonight I was at happy hour and met Dan. Dan was handsome (beautiful blue eyes) and charming. We talked for awhile and then it was time for him to go and he didn't ask for my number. He did ask if I'd be at October Fest later in the evening, but not for my contact information. I was a little disappointed; I thought we connected. As soon as he left, Ron, a regular, asked what I thought of Dan. I told him that I had just met him. Ron asked if I gave him my number and I replied that I had not. Ron told me that Dan had severe anger issues and gave me examples of situations he had witnessed. Relief came over me. Again, I thanked God that he protected me from another potentially bad situation.
So for infinity and beyond: God, if this man is not for me, show me; take him away.
