You will not believe

Chevalier,

Are you having a hard time letting go because you feel like it was the Holy Spirit leading you to cross her path under that unusual set of circumstances?

You know, sometimes I do believe God allows us to suffer such things, so that he can draw us closer to him, so that we can learn to rely only on him. Maybe that glimpse that you had of the picture of Jesus was a little reminder of the path that you have chosen. Surely you know that as you mourn the loss of this relationship, that you are blessed, and it is Christ himself who consoles you. Don’t forget that picture of Merciful Jesus.

Maria1212, I’ve been already doing that, the prayers, and don’t take it like I desperately want her back. I just want her to be happy and have to struggle with my own feelings. Certainly had longer moments of thinking I’m over it. And certainly haven’t been invasive since despite belonging to the same forums somewhere and having her on MSN, as well as having her phone number, I haven’t talked to her since May except a one-sentence PM two weeks ago and this sudden encounter today.

I can reconstruct a chain of accidents, but I just don’t believe in it. It looks like there was a purpose to it.

It was something like… First coffee. Taking the wallet. Second coffee… There’s the picture of Merciful Jesus on the right, Torin Shroud icon (face) on the left. My sister’s little picture with Merciful Jesus, was there. The small picture of my former girlfriend with the Shroud Icon wasn’t there. I noticed the lack, spent some time thinking about that lack, that picture, the girl herself. After a while, after some walking, I heard English. Saw it was girls, part of the reason I approached, I guess. Ta-daa. Guess who. “Hello.”

Oh, and I checked my wallet while writing this post and guess what. Guess where the little picture of my ex was? Under the Torin Shroud icon. It actually was there, just not to be seen by me at the time.
