CONFESSIONS OF A SERIAL DATER After my wife passed away I was cool with being alone. The two years of taking care of her during her battle with cancer had taken quite a toll on me both emotionally and physically. So the prospect of getting out there again seemed a bit tiresome. Although within a few months I was feeling much better. Back at the gym, taking better care of myself and churches were calling left and right to have me come and do events and church services. (I still refer to them as sympathy gigs) :) So after about 2 years The Lord clearly impressed upon my heart to be open to marriage once again. Well, like a typical male I said.....well, lets gitter dun then!! And the HUNT began! That wasnt what God intended. He said to BE OPEN!..... NOT THROW OUT A NET So I thought hey!.....lets try some a them there Datin Sites! So I joined a bunch! Lets see there was Match...Interracial match.....Afro-Romance ...PicturePerfect, LocalSingles etc. (no EHarmony....that asked too many questions....I aint got time fo that!) I met some really great women and a few are actually reading this post. Thats because we remained friends. But about 90% were not even close! Uuuuughhh! One lady I arranged to meet at Cracker Barrel. Of course she didnt look like her picture, was living with her boyfriend, and the space in her smile where a tooth was supposed to be....... Well thats where she held her cigarette! One woman left out the little detail that she was 6-5 AND wore heels. So there we are looking like a circus act and she just thought it was cute to use the top of my head as an armrest. :-/ You get the point. In my zeal to do GODS WILL I didnt consider......GODS TIMING. Which is a BIG DEAL! The right choice at the wrong time.......becomes the WRONG choice. Yes things may work out, but it could have been so much easier and that can apply to ANYTHING in our lives. I consequently married the wrong person and in the span of 2 years left me penniless, homeless, car-less and devastated a full time music ministry from which Im still recovering. (Not to mention taking all my saxophones and throwing them in a dumpster somewhere) ouch! So.......take your time. And in the meantime.... Work on YOU! and whatever The Lord has placed in front of you. Jesus was never in a hurry. Can you imagine Jesus scurrying from place to place to do anything? I certainly cant .
