Angels that God Sends

Do you ever wonder what your life would be like if you hadn't met someone or if you had met someone? I don't regret meeting anyone. I've learned so many lessons from different people in my life. But sometimes I wish I could change the order in which I meet people. This wish came because I have started talking again with a good friend of mine that I meet a few days after I met D. (The guy that I go to the temple with). I met him on a blind date. I didn't expect anything to come from this date. I was really just doing a favor for V. I didn't even take very much time getting ready. So I went looking like a bum and found out that I had to drive to pick up my date (we'll call him George). I got to his house and George walked out holding a box of tile. I was surprised! Who brings tile on a date? Haha. It turns out that he needed the tile for his buddy's house. When we met up with V and her date, George took the tile to the other guy's car.

The rest of the date was pretty good! The longer it went on the more glad I was that I was paired up with George and not V's date. Well, the date ended and nothing extraordinary happened. George and I kept in contact through text for the next week. Then I was getting to know D more and so the next weekend I decided to blow off the date George and I set up. How horrible of me, I know. We stopped talking then because of me. How terrible, but I just wasn't sure if he was the kind of guy I wanted to get to know. Plus he was out of town and D wasn't. I was spending more time in D's presence, so naturally I went with what I had in reach.

Then a couple of weeks ago we started talking again! It turns out that the surprises didn't end with the tile George had during the first date. So many things I have learned about him have been unexpected!! With each new thing that I learn about George, I wish I had met people in different order or time of my life. Although I don't regret anything about my friendship with D, it would have been so much more interesting if I had stayed with George. Who knows where it would have led to. Some might say that it's not too late. I whole heartily agree expect for one small fact. He is now off on the other side of the country working for the summer and I'm getting ready to go to Guatemala.

This whole thing has gotten me thinking about the timing of when we meet people. You see, I am starting to really like this guy!! I know I have only spent a few hours with him, but we have talked every day for the last few weeks. I know that I have met George for a reason. God sends angels in the form of friends all the time. But why now? I really think that George is someone I can marry so maybe that is why we are talking. But I am needed out in the mission field! I know this as a fact! If George was here with me now, or if we had continued to talk when we first met, I probably wouldn't have even thought of a mission. So now, I will have to wait for a year and nine months at least before I see him. He might be the guy that gives me the support I need while I am out serving. Who knows?! All I can do now is hope that there isn't some other girl lucky enough to catch his attention while I'm gone. Haha. We already have so much that we want to do together! It would be a shame to not be able to do it!! So life goes on and patience is the lesson to be learned from this experience. Too bad I can't get a sneak peek of the future. :)
