The miracle of God's plan

[plentl65]

I sit here typing this as a broken man. I just got my heart broken by my best friend and girlfriend of 6 years. It blind sided me this morning when she called me saying she was done.
Things had been tough for us but I had done everything in my power to make things work. Even trying to change jobs to make her happy. I got the chance at an interview that would set things up for us financially and I would finally be able to buy that ring I was going to get her. Well....I ended up not being able to get that job. I came in second after the application date got expanded, when before then I was all but guaranteed the job. I had a feeling that if I didn't get the job she would end it but I had been busting my butt to find something.
I guess I said all that to say this, there was a reason God didn't want me to have that job and I strongly believe that. This was his way of saying enough is enough for me. Though I wish he could of done it a little easier :-) ......I prayed that I would get that job so I could make us work. But all this leaves me reminded of some words to a song, Some of God's greatest gifts, are unanswered prayers. Sorry for the long read if you hung in there and I sure could use some extra prayers if ya got one to spare.
Now time for some archery therapy!

It'll be for the better bud.. I promise. I was with my ex for 8 years and spent so much time and energy into making her happy that I was running myself ragged and miserable. Didn't see it at the time, but after 2 years it's crystal clear. You're right about His plan. He never promised us an easy road, just that it would be worth it. Chin up bro, you'll be fine. Pm me if ya need to vent to somebody. Sendin some prayers up for ya.

I wouldn't want any woman that wouldn't stick by during tough times. There are good woman out there that will stand by you when times are tough. Prayers sent that you find that woman.

God has plans; He will finish what He started, all in His time. Hang in there bro.

I spent 23 years trying to have a happy marriage, I KNEW I was,nt suppose to marry her but things had gone so far that I thought I could make it a good marriage, I have two GREAT kids but I wasted almost half my life because I didn,t fallow through with what I knew deep down I should have done.....who knows maybe God still has someone I could spend the rest of my time on earth with.......Just be glad you didn,t waste half your life trying to please someone who can,t be pleased....my prayer for you is that God will bring you your soul mate

I don't have anything to say that has not already been said. But I will pray for a healed heart. And someone that will truly make you happy. Keep your chin up and your eyes on the horizon.

This really hits home for me. I felt the same, as if I invested enough I could make it work. I knew I shouldn't have to put forth that much effort but I did anyways. In a way I'm glad it ended, but right now it just sucks.

Hang in there bud. God has better things in store for you. If a woman isn't happy just being next to you, she's not for you. A true soul mate will be happy thru good AND bad times, money will mean nothing. Prayers up for ya brother. "God, bless this man and heal his heart. Show him the way, Your way. Amen."

[dadogg]

I gave up questioning the road God put me on and accepted that the path will not always be easy but the journey will be rewarding. Hang in there you will see his plan in good time

Prayers sent for patience and inner peace

Prayers sent. If she left because you didn't get a job then it is unlikely she would have been by your side "for better or worse" after you bought that ring. I am sorry you are going through this. I am sure it is tough. God has a plan.

[trophy8]

If she left you because of your job she didn't love you anyway. You'll be glad she left if that's the case. You'll find another. So grab a cold beer, thank God for everything and go find another one.

If you're still breathing, he's still got plans!
