Well, as some of you may know, I participated in a “Come to Jesus Meeting” a week or so ago. What an experience!
So, I attended the meeting, heard some things that I know to be true but didn’t think they were that bad. Yes, they need to be dealt with, but are the issues that were brought up a deal breaker? Obviously so! I say “obviously” because the deal with the meeting originator has been broken… But, such is life…
I have been thinking a lot about my thoughts on relationships lately and why I seem to bounce to and fro. I have realized that I currently have a lot of fears when it comes to relationships. These fears cause me to have doubts about the person I am engaged in the relationship with. Fear causes me to not be able to commit for any “relationship industry standard” length of time. I seem to run from the relationship when it gets too rough… I always tell myself “Well, you weren’t married to this person so there’s really no harm in you leaving the relationship” and “There’s more fish in the sea”… Which, there may not be and I also realize that I have passed up and messed up a lot of situations that probably would have been very rewarding if I had stayed… But, I can’t live in the past now, can I?!
Now that I am finally putting a finger on some specifics in my life and the way I perceive things, I hope that I can target those areas and make some much needed changes. During this process, I will be stretched a lot and have to not let things eat at me so bad. I’ll have a lot of things I will need to let go of… A lot of fears, worries, stresses, and frustrations that I will have to put behind me and just take life as it comes…
Until next time…

I think the dilemma you’re faced with is an interesting one. Yes, sometimes there are rewarding things to be found if you “stick yer stick up” and stay in it; yet, I can’t help but thinking that there is validity in the “many fish” philosophy. How many times have we (as people, in general) stay in things and put up with things that we shouldn’t? There’s simply no need! We can find someone out there that will love us for who we are, faults and all. Obviously, a severe crack habit is a fault that shouldn’t be overlooked, but that aside…life is short, and should not be wasted on constantly changing for someone else. We spend WAY too much of our time doing that…
You gotta learn how to stick yer stick up. Amen?

Oh, one more thing…
(Disclaimer: I’ve used the “come to Jesus” phrase before.)
I think it’s interesting that the phrase “come to Jesus” was used, when anyone who’s read the book of Matthew would realize that Jesus isn’t NEAR that harsh. Honest? Yes. “Come unto me all that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest” doesn’t sound like the grilling you took, that’s for DANG sure.

A hard place to be, for sure. I’m glad you’re learning and growing through the process, but it’s not fun!
