Laid to Waste

This morning was the last place I was looking for spiritual guidance. Actually I never even think of it at work.... And Elf comes in, asks me about my recent dating life (I felt so tossed and turned dating three at once)....

Then he shared this with me:

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.

It laid my soul to waste.... God? I got nothin'.

I haven't been able to discern why Bravo is the guy who spoke to my heart and soul - barely even have feelings for the guy, let alone love.... He's different than anyone I've ever known.

Little by little, I feel the stones falling from my wall. He doesn't scare me. Bravo is non-threatening. In many ways, he's a lot like me - strong work ethic, gives himself a hard time for not doing the right things.... His own worst critic.

I might understand him. He might understand me. Nice.

And it seems that the more I let go and let God... the better support I have here at the office, and in life. (Thanks Jesus, for Duckies).

You know what? I look back just a few weeks later and realize that my heart was ready and Charlie Bravo turned out to be a loser. He stopped calling and was too much of a boozer for me anyways.

I won't beat myself up or anything, but it just sucks to know that swaying me from this to that is so easy.

Guess that's why we surround ourselves with good people, right? So we don't get taken advantage of.
