I came up with an interesting theory this morning about why my life took the direction it did recently. I've always believed that God has a specific plan for all of us, and there wasn't anything we could do to change that plan. Now I wonder. Here's what I was thinking...
Some of you may have read my post in the General Discussions form about a long-distance relationship of mine that didn't work out. Quick summary: I met her in a Yahoo Game room, which I often referred to as a total fluke because what are the odds I'd meet somebody so compatible out of thousands of players? We tried repeatedly to plan a get together but things kept coming up to stop us. Now she's dating someone else and it's been very tough for me to deal with. We're still friends, but that's as far as it'll get.
Throughout the latter part of this ordeal, as I sensed the "romantic" angle fading from, I kept wondering why God would do this to me. Why would He allow me to meet this wonderful person against great odds and then repeatedly yank away every opportunity I had to meet her? It made no sense to me. Now I think maybe it does.
My theory is this. God's plan for her from the beginning was to end up with this new guy. I was in no way a part of this plan. When I constanly thought of our meeting as a "fluke", maybe it was because God hadn't intended us to do more than play a few games one night and never meet again. Once we began getting close, God realized that it was doomed to clash with his original plan, so he made darn sure I never got the chance to visit her. This way, the eventual "breakup" wouldn't be so difficult for me.
Could that be possible? I like to think of it this way rather than thinking I'm being dealt yet another disappointment.
