Women, Work and Weblogs

I should be blogging more... But all the time I used to find I am not finding anymore. I remember the first time I ventured into the eHarmony dating world...talk about embarrassing...

It only got worse...I met a woman and fell in love... We had a great time together. We hiked Eagle Creek in the pouring rain laughing all the way. Our first kiss was at the end of the Cape Lookout trail... We laughed, we talked, we played, and prayed.

It was all good until I found out that she was posting on Craigslist for a lesbian affair. I was still trying to make it work till I read her thoughts on my children on a blog she never thought I'd read...soon thereafter it was over and I didn't think I'd go back to eHarmony.

But now I'm back...I guess I am a masochist at heart...

I've learned a great deal since the last time around... Magnetism isn't enough. Shared personality isn't enough. Comfort isn't enough. There has to be a shared purpose and a shared joy in the same things. We have to make each other better, and help get the other to where God is taking us.

So I am meeting a lot of different people. I'm learning a lot. All the people I am meeting are different. Some are wealthy and some are not. Some are tall and some are short. Some love Jesus. Some have him at the periphery, and at least one worships a spiritual blob. All have histories. All have hopes and dreams. Somehow God has got to figure this one out.

My mentor is loving it, because in the very nature of things, I am going to have to say "no" to a lot of different people. He thinks that is so good for me. I am not looking forward to it really, though it may be that there are a number of mutual understandings and so it won't be that hard. That is yet to be seen

In the mean time, I am having fun and staying really busy and so hardly have time to do what I am doing now...

I am so glad that God is in charge...

I must say, I'm looking forward to some really good bad date stories.

Hum, I think saying no a lot is another way of making sure that you are in control, that you make sure you preempt possibilities before they preempt you. But good for you that you are taking that chance and believing that the endless bad first date stories are still worth making!
