When is a loss not a loss?
When she turns out be a great new friend like girl22.
Most of you may remember me singing the praises of the person I became acquainted with as “girl22″ on a Christian singles website a while back.I was very excited for a time, because at the outset it appeared that she would become someone that would take a permanent major role in my life.
And she will still, though probably not in the way I’d originally hoped. Today she told me after some thought and prayer that she didn’t feel it would “work out” between the two of us for a romantic relationship.
She was exceedingly kind and scriptural about it, which is one of the reasons I was hopeful where she was concerned in the first place. Why so many people think it’s a failure if the other person in a relationship might not become their mate has always been hard for me to understand…there is nothing more precious than a true friend…who is loving enough to be completely transparent. And I am blessed to have more than my share of those, some of whom I’ve mentioned in these posts, and others who have posted comments here.
So girl22 and I will not be headed to Reno or Las Vegas anytime soon…but we have establshed a very wonderful, blessed friendship that will last beyond these hot summer days of mid-July.
Any new prospects then, on the “love” horizon? Well, there is actually a rather unexpected one that has arisen, but that is contingent on an act of obedience to the Lord I must do before I can go any farther there at all. If that sounds a bit cryptic, good! I don’t want to divulge any more about that here for now…I just ask that you all pray about that, God’s will be done, and His grace triumphant.
Wednesday is still the target date for returning to my apartment…I’m trusting that all will go well on that, too.
Less about me…and more about general topics next time!
