A reason, A season, A lifetime

_______________________________

Sweetest Nicola sent me this as a forwarded email. It touched me. But more than that, it strengthened my shaky believe in God's wisdom, and destiny. The energies and powers in this earth, work in a very mysterious way, always for our benefit. But, they remain hidden and this is what frustrates us the most. But, anyways, this answers my question from a previous post, as to why The One is in my life.

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, To aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, This person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, Things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, Love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Is The One in my life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime? I really do not know. I do not know what this universe has in store for me. But now, more than ever, I BELIEVE, that as painful as it may be, if it were not meant to be, then it will not be. Regardless of how much I beg, cry and pray for it, it will not be unless it was meant to.

Paulo Coelho says that when you want something bad enough, all the earth conspires to help you achieve it. But I do not want to insist, simply because I want to keep myself open to more realistic, perhaps even, better options. I've tried heartbreak before and it was excruciatingly painful. I mean come on, I tried leaving my man last week, and that did not last for more than 2 days.

Percy Sledge's song comes to my mind: when a man loves a woman, he can't keep his mind on nothing else, he'll trade the world for the good thing he's found. If she's bad, he can't see it, she can do no wrong, turn his back on his best friend if he put her down. When a man loves a woman, spend his very last dime, tryin to hold onto what he needs. He'd give up all his comforts, sleep in the rain, if she said that's the way it ought to be. Well, this man loves a woman, I gave you everything I had, trying to hold onto your precious love. Baby, please don't treat me bad. When a man loves a woman, down deep in his soul, she can bring him such misery, if she played him for a fool, he's the last one to know, lovin'eyes can't ever see. When a man loves a woman, he can do her no wrong, he can never own some other girl. Yes when a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels.....

Final whisper: is there anybody out there who will truly and mutually love me the way I deserve to be loved? 

Till we meet again,
