Revision

Kind of had a small set back this afternoon but I'm not feeling so bad about it. Sometimes things happen that we feel take us a few steps back but actually they are just what we need to move forward.
   I had a conversation today with a guy I recently dated that solidified the end of our courtship. You know how it is in relationships...it takes numerous conversations to actually say it's over. Finality has a way of escaping us when we don't know how to let go. But this time is different. After we talked, I felt not only relief but renewed. Not that he is a bad person I needed to rid myself of; he's an incredible man with many wonderful qualities that I fell very hard for. The difference is that I walked away from that conversation with the motivation to never to go around that mountain again. I grew to love him dearly but like a good friend once told me, "The right person at the wrong time is still the wrong person." I came to the resolve to accept my responsibilities, learn from the mistakes we both made and never take that journey again.
For my own sake and the sake of my future partner, I want to spend this season of Lent allowing God to examine my heart and change my course of action; to shift my dependencies and reposition myself to become better.

Search me God and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting. -Psalm 139:24-

Living Authentically,
