I was in deep pain last May, feeling rejected by my first and ex-boyfriend after trying to communicate with him by calling or greeting him a Happy Birthday. I found myself in deep desperation trying to find acceptable reasons to understand him. I was lost, totally sad, and then I seriously did enormous prayer to stop my heart breaking. Well It isn't new to you that I'm sharing about my unforgettable past.
It was sometime within my moving on final days/stage someone came over to me saying
Man: Hej, My name is Ollie.. would you know what to do if your bike has just been stolen?
I turned around and looked at the owner's voice. I saw this nice looking man, with frustrations about his stolen bike, at first I thought he was sick so I answered ''Maybe you should call the police?'' then he said oh yes yeah. I was concerned and asked him the details of it but after searching with nothing, I asked him if where is his place cause he might get lost if he's new to this city. Then we figured out that we live nearby. Given so he proposed if I would like to walk with him since we have the same way. I first thought that would be nice but I was too careful with full attention thinking that maybe He's not as nice person in contrast to his outlook. Maybe He's a jerk, I wondered why he was so friendly and so nice to me. But since it is a safe municipality, I agreed to walk along.
Along the road we talked about Denmark, life in Denmark, the people in Denmark, the rules and the common problems about bike. He had almost told me his complete identity listening to his wonderful stories in life.Told him that I'm going to travel in Rome in few days so that's what I'm looking forward at the moment. I was a bit interested when he mentioned that he's a professional artist studied at one of the most and finest arts school in this world which is located in London. I'm not a certified artist but I do like to be creative, artistic, and likes painting and playing music a lot. So that served as our common ground. We talked about our beliefs and lives and I felt like we have some same views in life. So, at the end of road we had to separate ways, told him this is my way. See you whenever I see you it was nice meeting you. Thought he'd just say goodbye and wouldn't have the interest to continue the journey but he smiled and asked if he can get my number. Keeping myself in safeness I had to ask him ''why?'' and he said ''maybe we can walk and talk again sometime because it is very nice to know you.'' with that reason I was convinced and said ''ok'' I suppose I have a new and first friend in town so I left him with words ''good that I have a new friend''.
After few weeks I heard a good news about my friend which I really included in my wishes. And then after a month and a half, Oliver and I started our good friendship that lead us to loving and committing ourselves to each other. We are always looking forward to do a lot of things together as great friends/ good partners. I couldn't express myself enough in writing how happy I am to have him in my life.
From crying in pain he turned it around, now I'm overwhelmed with tears of joy.. I'm just wondering, what if I didn't lose my first love? What if I didn't let go of my past? What if he didn't lose his favorite bicycle and had the courage to know me? What if I was too hard to him at first? What if we didn't gave us a chance? What if we missed that very rare opportunity? What if we didn't surrender our past? I'm glad we have each other.
Dear Father,
Lord, help us remember that our love for each other reflects your love for us.
May we empower one another to fulfill our purpose in life.
May our experience as a couple give us a preview of the oneness we will experience someday.
Help us to see that everything is either love or a call for love.
Help us to celebrate our similarities and honor our differences.
Help us to accept our limitations and utilize our talents.
Thank you for this opportunity, this life, and for my loving partner.
Amen.
