Down a New Road

This about a new romance in the writer Stacey King's personal life. Enjoy.
All my life I have heard, you'll one day find the one. I've heard he's out there waiting like a knight in shinning armor. I must admit I've had my doubts. I've been through relationships that led to disappointments. I've been through ones that almost made it but didn't quiet. My thoughts are simply this: God sends you the right person when you least expect it. He knows when you need someone in your life and I was at wit's end. Personal issues were arising with my ex and I knew soon I was going to head over the edge. I lived three years with the guy and got used to him. He said he even loved me. Then it was as if things fell apart.

Shane and I divorced leaving a small child in the wake of it. I felt guilty for it and vowed that I wouldn't love again. I knew deep down if I hadn't found the right one then they didn't exist. I then began to write again and on my space I met someone named Matt. Matt and I became fast friends and even chatted in real life. Then he introduced me to his friend Steven. Steven was a Christian and I shared my own faith in God. I shared with him my story about how I met Jon and rediscovered myself, and my renewed faith in God. I told him things I have never told anyone else. Steven and I would chat for hours about absolutely nothing and then one day this guy I had been talking to texted me and tried to start drama. I had nobody to talk to so naturally I turned to Steven.

Steven listened to me and as always gave me his advice. I went to bed with a happy heart that night and kinda of relieved. The next morning was Sunday and I was not excited because I had to work. I got a text message from Steven telling me that he really liked me and I was shocked. I had never had someone to admit it to me. I didn't really like AJ to begin with. He was too controlling and too demanding. Always telling me I had to text him, that I had to call him and come over at certain times. I never told him what to do and I expected the same respect from him. When it came down to it I found out something. My heart didn't flutter madly in my chest for AJ, as it did when Steven spoke through words on the screen or even when I heard him speak. With Steven things seemed so different.

As I begin to think more, all the relationships in the past were nothing like Steven's. I didn't feel as though I could trust them enough to tell them just anything and I could with Steven. Maybe it was our faith in God or maybe it was just the simple fact, Stacey was falling deeply in love. I still had my faith that God had sent Steven to me. When I thought thinks were bleak and lonely I saw through God's plan for me. One thing is for sure. When you can sit anywhere and they are thousands of miles away, and think of only them, like no one around you from your past matters, or any guy in front of you, then you know you have fell deeply. I was in love with him and the more we talked the more it seemed like I knew and know now what I want.

God will always come first in my life, then my daughter of course, but Steven has made his way into my heart and soon into my life. I love him more than anything. With him things have been so different. It's not the kind of love you go into faithless. I have faith and trust in him. I love the way he can just stop a nervous feeling inside my heart with just a few words. When we're talking it feels as though he is there with me. Who said internet relationships do not work? God does everything for a reason... this is my second chance and it is time to let go of the past and let my wounds heal.
