Not so broken after all

It is amazing how God places people in your life for a reason--for a time-- and then allows them to stay in your life, or sees fit for your life to go on without them. God really brought this to my attention today. There was one MAJOR occurence today that just hit when God was truly trying to show me this. I had just met up with someone, my special friend, (I won't name names to protect the innocent) and he and I were going to meet my friend Tex--who dates my ex-boyfriend, Kevin. Wait, this is where I realize that a little background information needs to be recorded, just to make sure the story is clear. **Flashback, first semester of this school year** I had been dating Kevin for about 11 months around the end of September, I was really struggling to rekindle my walk with God and I was beginning to see that our relationship was keeping me from that. Then I met X...yes, if earlier blogs have been read, X is a familiar character who was not revealed as a person until now. X made me realize that there were Godly guys out there who would actually give me the time of day. This lead to that infamous day when I broke things off with Kevin. Two months down the road I was still spending time with X and Kevin was dating Tex. END OF FLASHBACK. Things really didn't go the way I had wanted them to with X, and today was the first time that I realized what that reason was. After I met up with my special friend, we walked over towards the guys dorms to meet Tex, who was walking Kevin to the gym before he left for baseball for the weekend. Well I was walking beside my friend when I looked up I saw Tex and Kevin talking and walking hand in hand, I then looked over Tex's shoulder I saw X walking. At the time I didn't realize the symbolism of this scene (as an English major, I'm really into all that symbolism jazz), but now I realize what God was trying to show me with just that little scene. God placed X in my life so that I would be able to let go of Kevin, and nothing more would ever become of the two of us. Tex and Kevin are together now and they are great together. AND now my friend is in my life for a reason also, which God really revealed to me as I was talking to my friend earlier this afternoon. I'm just astounded to see how God is working in my life. Even in the smallest ways that I may not recognize or be grateful for at the time. I asked Him to blow me away with His perfect plan for my life and I would have to say He is going that. Now I see that God has been paving the road ahead of me for quite sometimes...things are starting to look not so broken after all!
