“I don’t think it’s crazy at all. I mean, I think that I was probably crazy for hanging on all this time to the chance of something happening with me and Gloria, but then sometimes I think she’ll get it someday. But the common factor here, in your situation and mine, is what other option is there?I mean, do you want someone else? I know I don’t. And Im not in a rush to marry or date at this point in my life anyways, as Im sure you’re not either, so what else is there to do but wait? The truth is, in essence, Im not waiting for Gloria and you’re not waiting for Chris. We’re both waiting on God, to do what His good will is for us in this lifetime. Wait upon the Lord, and He will renew your strength. You’ll rise up on wings like eagles, and you’ll run and not grow weary. That’s the silver lining to this whole crappy rain cloud that we’re both stuck under. Wait upon God. Be still. And know that He is God of all things. Be still and know Him, and know that He is GOOD. He’ll work it out for your best if you love Him above all other things. Thats been my problem. I know I haven’t loved Him above all else. But Im changing that right now, before any more of my time gets wasted and I get robbed of even more of the things that are most precious to me. Jesus is everything. HE’s what I’m waiting for. HE’s the ultimate prize. HE’s what’s going to complete me, and fill me, and give me joy that goes beyond any circumstance. HE’s my first and last love, my true heart’s desire, and everything I could ever want or need. Is that who He is to you?”
