have you ever gone out on a limb? ( Archived) (2)

Another thread gave me this idea.
Just wanted to share this with you.

I dated a guy for 9 months several years ago.I began to really
care for him & he I.However,we never talked about our faith.I
knew he had a loving heart,but didn't know where he stood
spiitually.He had never been in a serious relationship at all.
So,let's just say he wasn't to good at the whole relationship
thing.He was 35 at the time & wanted very badly to get married
& have kids.Even though I loved him very much I had to let him
go.He had been alone for so long & wouldn't open up the way I
would have liked.We both bawled our eyes out when we split.
We didn't talk for some time after that.Then my mom got cancer
& he started talking to me again,asking about my mom & such.One
I got up enough nerve to ask him if he would like to give us
another chance.He just said he was busy.That's when I asked him if I was the forbidden fruit.He just gave me blank stare.He is also a farmer & it was harvesting season.So I understood.He stopped
talking to me a short while after that.However,many I worked with said he still looks at me & they can tell he still cares.He will always hold a part of my heart.
I prayed for him daily.I was so torn up that we hadn't talked
our faith in God or lack of.I kept seeing him as a lost child.I started getting mail from Promise Keepers.I threw several away.Finally i thought maybe I'm getting these for a reason.I
opened one & it had different dates for the revivals.It said
something about this not being for you,but you know someone who
needs it,go ahead & give it to them they are ready for it.So
at my break I prayed about it asking God if I should give it to
Scott.Then I looked up faith in my bible.On the opposite page
The title of the insert from T.D.Jakes was Promise Keepers.I
instantly got goose bumps.So, later that day when Scott came
around I told him that I really believed that God sent something
for me to give him.I thought to myself,"did I really just say that out loud?"Well,to this day I still don't know if he even read it.
But,later that day he told my aunt he was glad because I had
Talked to him & it had been 4 months since I had.
Like I said,I don't know if he even read it,but I do believe that
I did what I was lead by God to do.There were just to many
"coincidences"to think otherwise.
Just a thought...
Go with what your gut tells you to do.
Prayer really will lead you to the right thing.
