I think I've heard it said that if you want to find love, stop looking and it will find you. I think this was true in the case of my husband and I. When I showed up on his doorstep nearly twelve years ago, neither one of us were looking to fall in love let alone get married. He had just had a fiance cheat on him and then dump him (thank goodness for me). And I was an emotional wreck. Yet, four months later I was walking down the stairs to says vows and promises to the man I love.
I finding this philosophy seems to apply to other things as well. I kept trying to have friends. My husband was even trying to find friends for me (He loves me, but I talk ALOT. He needed for me to talk to someone else once and a while). After what felt like many failed attempts, I was started to think maybe I'm just to strange to get along with any one. I was wrong.
We have found honest and truthful friends. People that have sincerity in their hearts. It's been wonderful, and quite honestly, a bit of a shock. No one has any preconceived notions or expectations of us, they accept us as we are. And are always complimenting how wonderful our girls are (that's one of the best parts). The one thing they all have in common is that they attend church on a regular basis and they are real conservatives in their hearts. For all this I am thankful.
It doesn't matter what the circumstances. The harder anyone tries to tighten their grip on something the more likely it is to slip through their fingers. Just let go and life will happen.
