I think that’s how the saying goes, but I could be wrong. And what I'm talking about starting and finishing is the race of love/marriage. Anyway I had to think of that saying today when I read the news of one of my former interns became engaged recently. Don’t get me wrong I was completely happy for her as soon as I read the news this morning because all of the things I’ve said previously in this blog concerning marriage but then there was that one part of me that made me think-dang there goes another person younger than me tying the knot.
I emailed her and told her how proud of her I was because I witnessed first hand this summer how she and her then-boyfriend now fiancé decided to fast from talking to each other so they could be sure they were taking their relationship in the direction God wanted. And now, four months later, they are engaged.
Imagine, if we all were so obedient, how would God bless our relationships. I’ve been pondering on that fact all day and I realized that as I continue to trust, but more importantly, listen to what God is telling me to do, then he is starting to bless me more and more everyday.
After all, I started listening to him and I received a promotion, when I decided I had put up with enough of the random text messages and after-dark phone calls, then I found someone who would commit to calling me during my normal functioning hours. Yep, I’ve seen the change.
And the most important part is that the last time I was faced with a potential relationship fiasco, we took it to God in prayer. I’m so at ease now and in a “que sera sera” mood about it all, that I know God will take care of it all. It’s just up to me to let him do his work. And if he does the work then I’ll most certainly finish the race and just in the time I should.
