One of the things in dating that happens is the wait for the call. As a woman or a man you make a connection and then you either wait to call or you wait to be called. It is the thought that then is where things begin. Then the next move is determined. Did we really connect that first time or two we met before more information was exchanged? Are they really interested in me enough to call or to call me back. It is in that waiting time that we have to connect with ourselves. Ultimately it is not about whether that person deems you worthy to call or call back, but rather do you think you are worthy. Would you call you or call you back. Do you appreciate all you have to offer. We often put so much on that other person but it is not up to them. It is up to us, to know in our hearts that we want to be with us. I know for a long time in my life I didn’t date and I used to think it was because I wasn’t attractive and no one was interested in me. The reality was that I didn’t think I was attractive and I wasn’t interested in me. I was in a dark time of my life when I was headed on a slow path of death. The only thing I thought that I ultimately deserved was just to make it through. I mean I had dreams of being in a relationship but had no real means of making that happen because my head and my heart were not in the right space for it. I was so into my food addiction that the only voice I heard was that of my negative mind telling me what a piece of s*%! I was. Once in a while I might hear faintly the voice of a loving God or have a spiritual experience but my head was so clouded that I could not hear God calling me. I could not hear the love with which God called me. There was no space for me to embrace the notion that God was enchanted with me and longed to be with me more closely. It wasn’t until I put down the sugar and the excess food that I made space for God. They say you cannot serve two masters and that is my experience. But not getting the call can often be because of little things, it is not always so big. Sometimes I am just distracted by life and my thinking and I stop listening for the call. When I do tune back in, I see it in nature, hear it on the radio, see in the smiles of faces of people I encounter. God is calling me everywhere. Do I have the courage to answer the call and take a chance on what comes next? My prayer for you today is that you see how God is calling you to share with you the love of you. Make it a great one!
