I had to be honest with myself and admit that all the terrible dates were my fault. Conversation with my sister continued…
Me:how do you suggest I find a mate then? I have done everything.
Sis: except do nothing, you need to find a seat and chill out.
Do nothing? I was left speechless. If I do nothing I take a chance of missing out. Recently I ran into a article about a woman that never remarried after her husband was listed MIA by the military. She said waited 60 years until it was finally confirmed her husband had died in battle. I thought I was waiting a long time, I cant imagine waiting 60 years.That lead me to look for other examples of someone waiting for a loved one. This is what I came up with.
The Note book-Allie claimed to wait 7 years for Noah to come for her. Noah then told her he wrote her a letter a day for a year.
The Odyssey -Penelope the wife of Odysseus waited for 20 years while her husband fought at Troy and was set off course on his way home.
Genesis 29 -Jacob worked 14 years to be be with his love Rachel.
What great examples of patience and discipline. I don’t know how they did it because I find waiting a week a challenge. I guess I need to find a hobby and keep myself busy. That my friends is one of the reasons why I started blogging!
