I thought that I had met someone. She was nice and she showed interest in me. However, there was something about her that caused me to seek counsel from my pastor. I was right to have misgivings.
I took this sister out to lunch today. We had a nice time. She thanked me for lunch and then told me she did not want anything more to do with me. That ended that.
I am not a lonely man. I am single, and saved, and satisfied. There are people who are bothered that I am single. They pester me or advise me on the reasons why I need a woman in my life. They were excited when I told them about her. Now they are silent when I told them what happened.
I have a feeling about divorced women. My feeling about this divorced woman was right on. I should have trusted my gut. But I went as far as I could go and nothing came of it. My pastor was correct in advising me to see what happened. He was sorry to hear how it turned out.
I have a check list. It is not very long. But there are things that must be in place and there are things that I would like to be in place. And after this experience my thoughts on divorced women must stand as non-negotiable. I was married till death did us part. I need someone to be on the same page in that regard before I let myself hope.
A divorcee who gets saved has a clean slate. A divorcee who is saved already should have stayed married.
