A Difficult Task

I just did possibly one of the most difficult things I have ever done. I just told a guy that I couldn't date him anymore. Given Tyler and I had only gone on three dates so it was not like we were in a serious relationship. Still I hate hurting people, even when I know it is what God has called me to. Not that God called me to intentionally hurt him. I was only to be a part of his life for a short while.

Now don't get me wrong, Tyler is a great guy. God is moving in his life in powerful ways right now and really growing him into an amazing man of God. I am blessed that I have gotten to see a small bit of this radical change in his life. I know that God had a purpose in bringing him into my life and allowing me to share a little bit of myself with him. Maybe the only purpose was to hand him a book, I doubt it, but if that was it that is good enough for me.

This last month has been pretty crazy. I have never been a big dater and yet I have been on several dates. It has been interesting to note all of the things I have learned about myself in this process. Number one being, I get too attached way to quickly and I need to slow myself down!!! I don't know what God is doing, all know is that he has opened my eyes to see more and more of his beauty over the last few months. My heart has been filled to over flowing, and because of that I have been able to be sensitive to the Spirit's leading in my life.

Thank you God for leading me and giving me the courage to even perform the most difficult of tasks. You are my shield. You are my righteousness. My hope can only be found in you!

P.S. I have noticed that you can tell how excited I am about a post by the number of exclamation points I put at the end of title.
