Jessie and I got to talk today. What's so special about that, you say? To tell you that, I'd have to get into the whole long story, and that's just not gonna happen right now. Let's just say I made a decision that hurt her deeply and I wanted to speak with her about that decision.
I won't get into the whole thing here, but we talked for a while (at least two hours). We shared a lot about the situation and where we hoped to go from here. We are both going to seek God and seek advice regarding our respective issues, as well as seek advice about how she and I should proceed in terms of a future together. I've realized that singles can only provide limited help in this regard; the council of older, wiser married folk is what's most needed. So starting tonight, that's what I'll be seeking. The Chisholm's will be my first stop, and many more couples will follow. As we seek God and the wisdom of more Godly and mature Christians, Jessie and I have decided not to speak for a period of 40 days. She will send me an email on my birthday, but that's it. The end of the 40 days will be March 15 (The Ides of March, baby!)
As I sit back and think about where Jessie and I have been and where we're going, a slight smile comes to my face and I can't help but think, "Hollywood would KILL for a story like ours!" Say, that's not a bad idea...we ARE in an economic crisis after all...
