"A VERY Odd Occurrence..."

One day - I was discussing with a friend and co-worker - who is a person of faith - my desire to find myself a bride someday. We were discussing relationships in general - and what we had learned from them. I related to him how wonderful it would be to find someone who was special, someone in whom I could really love and trust.

He related to me that he had also been through a point in his life in which he to desired a mate. He related to me how he had prayed for God to send him someone after having a few failed marriages - and reaching a point in his life where he also needed someone who was trustworthy. That was how he had met his fiancee.

I thought to myself "Oh well - it's worth a shot anyway" - so - when I got home - I placed my request.

Not long afterwords - while seeing who viewed me on another dating site - I saw a familiar face. It was an old college girlfriend. I contacted her to see if she was indeed the lady whom I thought that she was - and it was her. We began to correspond with one another.

Deep down - I knew that she was not "the one". I knew that we were fundamentally incompatible. We were WRONG for each other - plain and simple, this I knew for a fact.

I thought about her...I thought to myself "Of all the people in the world - why was SHE the one that I was sent? This is patently unfair!" I contemplated ignoring our incompatibility - and pursueing a new relationship with her - but my gut instincts told me "If you do this - your going to regret it."

It was then that it dawned on me - "Perhaps...Just perhaps...This is a test to see if I make the right decision...And - if I do make the right decision - then maybe that will prove that I'm ready for the real love of my life to enter through the door?"

I made my decision - and gracefully ended our correspondance...
I am waiting now - to see if I was right after all...Only time will tell.
