Ok by now everybody must know that if I am not on a quest to find love I am on a quest to get money. Over the last 2 months the issues have been about relationships. I have had my run ins with the shall nots, have nots, and will nots, of the opposite sex pool but recently I encountered something that right now I can’t figure out, which is why I finally decided to post about it.
About a week or 2 ago I started praying. I asked God to send me a man, and I listed every quality known to man that I thought he should have. Now this list has been tweaked over time cuz before I was leaving ish out and well that didn’t go so well most days lol. But this list I was sure I had down packed. So a few days later I get an email and here is what it said
” Wow hi you are a hard person to find!! I have been looking for you for about 3 or 4 years. I hope you rember me I worked with you a while ago. Well I am looking forward to talking to you hopefully soon!!!!”
There was a picture beside it and when I clicked on it I thought?? hmmm do I know this dude, stalker perhaps??. He didn’t say where exactly, so I attempt to remember every fine dude at work cuz u know ya girl won’t let a sexy sexy slip away so fast with passing me first lol. So I spent about 1 hour trying to recall every job in my life and it hit me like a 1 year old throwing his sippy cup going straight for my head!!!! WALLY WORLD!!! yes!!! I meet J at walmart.
J was a cool kat, rather dorky in my opinion but cool. We kicked it with each other on a regular basis for the short time I spent there but never on a serious tip. I honestly thought nothing of it back then, I was all of 22 or 23 trying to stay above water on bills. So almost 3 years later J finds me and we spent the next few days talking about whats been going on. I found myself opening up to him about everything and he was extremly calm and understanding about my situation. He also went on to inform me that all this time he has been looking for me, asking around to see if anybody knew me. Well I don’t hang in lansing so that odds of anybody knowing me would be 1 in a million. I was taken back that he was trying to find me and felt a bit flattered…………. so the story goes on.
Since that day me and J have been in communication. We had 2 rather fun dates and we talk every day now. He is the sweetest guy. On the scale of attraction he is definantly not ugly, tall (6′3) a lil skinnier than most, caramel completion, and glasses, kinda still has the dorkiness to him but nothing that can’t be worked on with a couple new outfits. He opened ALL of my car doors on the dates and footed the bills and didnt ask for ass in return lol. To me thats a BIG step from the norm lol. The other big thing about him was that he talked about the exact same financial goals and opinions as me, about being frugal, and spending less money, the man is even almost done paying off his house! I mean I really couldn’t have asked for him to sound much better than he did…… (deep sigh of relief)
So you ask why am I conflicted?? Well because sometimes tho I AM not a bible thumper. I can be extremely spiritual (got it from mom) I always analyze if something is of God or if its the devil playing tricks on my mind. I was thinking like maybe its another one of the devils tricks to get me off track, my mind went pretty crazy from there. I was able to talk to my best friend and she was very insightful, she told me only time will tell whats to come of this and she was right. So I am trying to play it cool and not get caught up in what may or may not be. Also J has 2 kids (Same mom) But I remember asking God for a man with NO kids, so why would he give me a man with 1 let alone 2??? I know there is a reason for everything and even tho no kids was on my deal breaker list, I had to remember why and that was because i had a fear that the guy wasnt taking care of them. J actually has custody of both children and the man worked his ass off to get them which says TO ME a lot about the type of guy he is (when it comes to taking responsibility for them that is). Who knows maybe I can look past the children?? I just don’t know about all this.
I do know I am over such n such from the last post!!!!! I believe God sends people in your life for a reason. So J why are you here????
On with new things!!!
Why are you thinking about this so much.Why not enjoy the time your’re spending with J and let nature take its course…If it turns out badly that’s okay you’ve probably been through worse. If it turns out J is the answer to your prayers then the puzzle is complete.
You have a whole lot to gain and nothing to lose…
Slish you are exactly on point, I have been single for what seems like a decade now, so its been hard to kinda relax and let things flow for someone worthy. He has all qualities that fit me to the exact BUT I don’t like being played for a fool. Charge that to being hurt one to many times.
But you are right I am going to relax and let it do what it do.
Hi Mikki,
Sounds like you have a good problem. Her’es a man who has obviously been thinking about you and definately has shown genuine interest. God does answers prayers. Sometimes He gives us what’s best for us. Of course, I don’t know why you were reaquainted with J and he has the 2 kids…but try to keep an open mind. Are the kids real deal breakers? If not, give it a chance. If it is, just make sure J knows you only want to be friends so he won’t get too caught up (which sounds like he is already though…smile).
Heyyyy Shelia glad to see you back!! hope you had a great vacation with your fam!!
The kids aren’t deal breakers. I just have a fear of a man with kids being to laxidazical about the birth of my first child. I will pass out if he feels so comfortable to the point when i say “bay my water broke!” and he is like iight lemmie finish this game and we can go…. wtf??? He had 2 kids so I run the risk of him not being as excited with mine as he was when the first one came ya know?
in a perfect world he would treat new baby like its the first but shit after 2 I may be subject to act the same way. Im just sayin my first child will be a big deal and thats the risk you take when u date a man who has already been through the process twice!
i agree with Sheila Mik…
take it slow. And see how everything plays out. It does say alot about a man who has full custody. and they are by the same women.
You dont have to be there step mother to just see that is being revealed. God knows what he is doing …maybe there IS something you are supposed to be learning from him to prepare for someone or something else.
Hey, U know what do not think much about it and just remember God would not give you something that you yourself can not handle. I personally think go for it and enjoy the relationship you can learn alot from them. Good Luck. I am praying for you!
@comeback yea, the whole custody battle was a long drawn out process, he actually almost gave up right before they awarded him the kids. Rather long and tiresome story lol.
@Hadassah, That I do know I also know Gods blessings come with no sorrow, which i keep telling myself that and so far thats right. Now days I been making decisions based on that, if its causes me to much discomfort then more likely its not of God.
I am taking things slow, can’t rush it anyways I work to darn much lol.
Mikki its good to be back. I am a computer junkie…I’ve had withdrawal symptoms. I got on the net as much as I could. I’m still sort of on vacation but I’m back. I have another trip with my mom…right now we’re doing some revamping so I’ll be busy painting or doing wallpaper.
