Climbing Walls
There it is then. I’ve finally heard a reason for me not wanting to be in a relationship with just anybody that actually made sense. When people have been hurt in a relationship, they tend to erect walls in order to keep from being hurt again. I should know, I’ve erected plenty myself. But what I heard recently opened my eyes to the reason why I’d become comfortable not even trying to enter a new relationship.
What do you do when you take the chance to climb the wall the other person has erected and when you get over the top, the person is nowhere near the person you’d hoped they’d be when you finally got to them? Are you willing to suffer in silence because you are now frustrated, let-down and hurt? Are you even willing to go a step further and seek out help in order to garner the type of relationship you desire? Will you be like I used to be: scared, not willing to try or plain ole tired of meeting the same type of person: unavailable? Or will you want to do whatever you had to do in order to break the cycle of dysfunctional relationships from your life? Hmm.
This time, I decided to take the chance and climb the wall. I don’t know just where we will end, but I’m willing to travel this road of uncertainty and boldly declare:
Thank You Father
For his heart
Being in alignment
From the start
Thank You Father
For his love
Tailor made just for me
And fits me like a glove
