Have you ever come out of a relationship knowing things weren’t a good fit and that you were trying to make something work that isn’t/wasn’t supposed to? That’s an amazing experience!
My personality lends itself to this. I am extremely OCD and get “focused” as my family and wife constantly remind me.
I just experienced this type of relationship come to an end… a very good and natural end. It was nothing bad or negative, it was just something that I knew didn’t need to happen, but was focused on trying to make it work because it seemed like the right thing a few months ago. Throw in a few new elements and things can quickly change.
It’s really amazing how God works. He can take you through seemingly similar experiences (more than once) and they can have diametrically different outcomes each time.
But… this is how He seems to work in my life. He lets me “focus” on something, thinking it’s going to turn out a certain way, only to throw my a curve ball and have the outcome look totally different. The amazing thing is that each time you see why He protected you from your “obsessions” and was in complete control all along.
However, I’m lucky to have my wife and family in my life who are there to help guide me and are stable forces in my life through all of my OCD moments. Without them, I’d be a mess!
Does that make any sense? Doubt it…
I’m glad God cleared things up in the end and that despite your OCD your focus is always Christ centered which is where it should be.
