Something better

If you have ever wanted to have an ice cream cone and been told no wait I’ve got something better for you. How frustrating to wait, how frustrating to not know what this something better is. I already know that rocky road ice cream is better than anything on the planet and you are going to tell me to wait for something better, why? I can’t wait I want it now. That would be me, a lot. I have said over and over I am not the patient type. However, there have been times when I clearly had to wait for that something better. A long while ago in my late 20’s I got divorced and was single so it was time to date and I dated a few different guys, over the 2 years or so that I was single. Just not finding someone who could be the mechanic, house fixer, general handyman that I wanted. Oh yes, and he had to keep me happy too. As I was searching high and low, I had a very comfortable friendship with someone. We were exactly that, comfortable. We had known each other for many years already so it wasn’t hard to fathom that this could work. Besides, things seemed to be going very well. However, he did like to disappear on me, which was not something I liked. Regardless, I eventually realized it wasn’t going to work and maybe there was something better out there. We both had different needs and wants in life at that point. So, I am figuring I might have to date a different breed altogether or move far from where I lived. Somewhere in there, I did meet someone but he was married and I wrote that one off rather quickly even though there was a lot of easy communication between us. I just put it out of my mind and paid it no thought. No way was I going to even try it. Then I prayed about the situation and in walks my now husband. We hit it off really well. Totally comfortable with each other, however, he had a wall that needed a ton of dynamite to eradicate and I almost gave up. In fact, I actually did. I told heavenly father if he wanted us together it would take a miracle. Miracle happened. He realized that there might be something there. He also realized that his attempts at staying behind his solid granite wall was easily penetrated by love pure and simple. That is what works. That is something better than staying forever alone. On my end, something better was when the wall came tumbling down. I was impatient and wanted it my way on my timeline. We have been together for 20 years and although I did find my handyman, mechanic and house fixer, I also found something better. Even when I thought I wanted it sooner. We have 3 children together. We did have one that I miscarried, but it wasn’t the right time for that one. We ended up getting pregnant again that was something better. Although it seems like that ice cream I really want, I am willing to accept what Heavenly Father can give me when he wants to give it to me which is always something better!
