Lessons Learned

As with any experience in life, you need to reflect upon what was and figure out how it will help you in what could/will be. This past week has helped me to figure out things that I truly value and found some things inside of me that I didn't know they were there.

First, my friends are some of the best people in the world and I am very fortunate to have them. Second, I know I am not always right (in fact, I am probably wrong a lot of the time), but I do know that when I feel convicted about something, I will change and if God does not put that personal conviction inside of me, then it will not happen. No person can do that.

With my last relationship coming to a close I learned a lot of lessons about me and who I want to date. All in all, it was a good experience and I am using it to grow and hopefully use these lessons to understand important things in the person that I like and will hopefully, one day, marry.

I am not going to apologize for the actions that led up to the breakup because I do not feel in the wrong. There was a lot that I did to try and make it work and in the end, it was not what I wanted. I tried to deal with everything in a very mature manner and I wish it was reciprocated, but it was not. I'm not angry and I am not going to harp on it anymore. Again, this is a learning experience and that is all it will be.

I pray that she is happy with whoever she decides to be in a relationship next. That's all I can do for her at this point.

As for me, I will continue to pray and hope that God will help me in my search to find someone that I can make joyful and be joyful at the same time. Thank you again to all my family and friends for their prayer and guidance on this issue. I love all you guys!
