About cmarie:: **update: one book that has changed my life has been "the wisdom of florence scovel shinn". this book has helped me to understand The Word, better. i've learned how to show my faith in God...i never knew the difference between hope and faith...and fear and worry and faith. faith is the ONLY way. not hope...not fear...not worry. FAITH. and this book has helped me to see that. now i know that if my exboyfriend is the one God selected for me, then i can never lose him and he will be back, and if he is not the one divinely selected for me, then i won't want him. and it's a freeing feeling. i've learned to let go of things i'd been hanging onto and never really realized it before.

so, my point, if you get a chance, definitely read it!

God bless you all for your interest in my "about yourself" section. and thank you for your prayers.

a couple of weeks after posting the above message, these nagging feelings about one person in particular would not leave my mind. it was someone whom i had not seen in months, and never expected to see again...someone with whom i'd had little conversation with, so why was i thinking about this person? i tried not to think about it, but it got to the point where this nagging feeling wouldn't even let me sleep. eventually, it subsided and i didn't think of it again. and actually forgot..could it have been a fluke??

then a friend of mine said to me..."if an opportunity is meant for you, you cannot lose it. God will bring it back to you to take advantage of again and again until you do."

after a month, i was out to dinner with some friends in another town and suddenly in walks this person that had been nagging my brain the previous month. we said our hellos,continued to talk and have not been apart since. i'm the happier with this man than i have ever been. i always thought it couldn't get any better than what i had, but i was wrong...God brought this man to me, but it took me finally letting go and letting God have the reigns before it all started to fall into place.

it really is, "God's way not our way, His will not our will, His time not our time."
