I'm not the most rational person ever. I will freely admit that I'm impossible to date and quick to break up with someone. I have the whole cut loose and run away pattern well established.
I try to keep in mind that we are all busy and it is very difficult to constantly answer texts and emails. With my girlfriends when it takes a while to get a response I'm usually very understanding. For some reason when it's the person that I'm dating I am way less understanding.
One thing I noticed last week as I really put into practice taking the step back is I was less stressed, less angry and less frustrated. When I put my focus where I'm supposed to, on the Lord and I remember that His will for me is "Be Joyful always, Pray continually, and Give thanks in all circumstances." As I take my focus from frustration and anger at the guy I'm just getting to know and spending time with and put my focus on the Lord and give thanks and appreciate all that the Lord has done for me I can't hold onto the anger. I'm begining to understand that even when circumstances are frustrating and I'm overwhelmed the reason the Lord's will for us to give thanks and be joyful is because even when things seem impossible if you're truly trying to give thanks to the Lord the frustration seems to lift and the hopelessnes seems to dissipate.
