PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Now I know why my uncle's fiancé became a nun. The pressures of her upcoming commitment weighed against her love for her Creator. The struggle between right and wrong felt conquerable no other way. The desire to serve God wholeheartedly took sole precedence over the longing for marriage to the man she truly loved and who loved her. So she took the only path she knew, the only option presented. Leaving him wasn't easy, and her tear-stained cheeks betrayed her inward emotions.

Devastated and heartbroken, he rebounded on to a girl who pursued him, a teenager in his class, a rebel vying for his attention. She filled the void, though nothing like the angel his first love was. Seeing how they have fared makes one shudder and want to do walk any other path but theirs. Yes, they are still married, and miserable and depressed as well.

Now I ponder engagement and marriage and it's duties and consequences. I know God has given you to me, I have no doubts of this fact. One day we will join in holy matrimony and it will be truly beautiful and a wondrous work of our Heavenly Father's hand. But for these days before then, I want to wholeheartedly serve my Father however I can...not to let this burden turn me completely aside from you while facing the reality that it may delay our hopes and dreams for the time being. I don't want to see their mistakes, miscommunications and misinterpretations of life be the same rut we fall into. I do not want to choose a life of solitude and service while you choose temporary joy leading to a miserable life. Just reassure me that you'll never give up on me nor leave me, and I'll be at peace, waiting on God. And you'll know I will never give up on this because first, I promise this: tag, you're it; and secondly, my name is: 2bMrsC
