Is it possible to have the best of intentions and still get screwed over somehow? Well yes, it is. Why? The same reason the church can be a whacked out place...the same reason there are creepy people in the world doing mean things...because we are human.
Though I may feel that I have/had the best of intentions with someone, it has been brought to my attention that they can take it in a completely different way. Dang it..I thought I actually had something figured out for once. But now... I'm back where I started.
Is life really just a cyclical thing? Am I just going to keep making the same mistakes over and over? I sure as heck hope not...more so for everyone else's sake.
But if life is a vicious cycle, is there any hope?
I am holding out that there IS hope... I mean.. I have hope in Christ..and though I may be a mere jar of clay, He works through me..right? So I may have screwed up yet ANOTHER relationship somehow, but there's hope that ONE DAY I will figure it out. It's just not looking like that day will be today... or tomorrow...

Hmmm. . . A quick pondering of this post makes me think that intentions may be a bad thing, and I know you wouldn't want to just chalk up another mark on the blame board of us being human. Is there a difference between having intentions in a relationship and being intentional about creating relationships? I would think so. Also I've heard the arguments that life is a cycle and while they are very well put, if I adhere to them I get dizzy. All that to say that it's gotta be more simple. . . right?
