There’s a Rascal Flatts song that says everything I feel about past relationships and men that made me cry:
“I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to you…
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true:
God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you.”
I was the woman who could appreciate Andrew when he was brought into my life because of the lessons in “love” that I learned over the years. I knew what I wanted, I knew what I needed, and I knew what I deserved. And I wasn’t going to settle for less like I’d tried many times before. I may not be the skinniest or prettiest girl out there, but I have a big heart and I deserved love.
I love my husband, and I am grateful daily for him and for our life together. And my past has everything to do with who I am today, so that includes those that broke my heart. So I am thankful today for the tears shed and lessons learned from them, even if I wasn’t at the time. God knew what He was doing. =)
