Boba Fett is GROOVIN'!

First, I thought it was a random clashing of two sides of the late 70s/early 80s. Then, I was a bit awed by the length that some people go to for the detail in costuming. Suddenly, I got it. It's so very clever.

More questions about "The One"

Relationships are a common topic among... well... people.

A friend recently blogged about "The One" posing questions that one should ask while in relationship:

• Does this person make me a better person?
• Am I a better person when they are in my life or worse?
• Does this person make me want to be a better person?
• What would my friends say?
  
• When I am with this person, do I draw nearer to God, or move further away?

As part of a conversation, another friend recently posed some more questions to help weigh finding the right "One" for each of us, which led to questions of my own as well:

• Do I believe in a sovereign God to guide my life and the life of my future mate?
  
• What are my standards for someone in a relationship with me?
• What does it look like for me to be cherished? And how do I truly cherish someone else?
  
• What is "good enough?"
• Is "good enough" enough for better or for worse?
  
• What if what I think is good turns out to be not-so-good later?

What questions do you ask yourself, whether you're married or not yet (even once were)?

Are there questions we need to answer about OURSELVES before we can begin to expect to be in a healthy relationship?

• Am I looking for someone to "complete me" or am I whole on my own?
• What do I "bring to the table" in terms of the good, the bad, and the ugly?
  
• With MY FAULTS, can I measure up to be worth someone else's love?
• Will I spend the rest of my life apologizing for who I am (or who I'm not)?
• Am I lovable?

Just a few thoughts to ponder (and COMMENT upon)!

One more:

• Even once I've found whom I believe to be "that person," what if I'm not the BEST fit for them?

Reconnecting

Do you ever question God's timing?

Sometimes I think this is the topic of conversation God and I have most often, and I use the term "conversation" loosely. Mostly, it's just me asking question after question.

"Why now?"
"Why not now?"

Most examples I could offer about these conversations are on the negative side, but recently I've had SEVERAL opportunities to reconnect with friends that I haven't talked to in 5, 10, and even 15 years. (Yay Facebook!)

As much as I'm enjoying these "Pick Up Where We Left Off" meetings, believing that timing isn't coincidental, I find myself asking God "Why all of the sudden?"

Five years ago I wasn't in a place where I had reconciled who I was in high school or even after with who I am today. In more recent years, I've come to accept that misunderstandings, mistakes, rebellious choices, or even doozies are as responsible for me being who I am as good, healthy, positive influences. It's taken me quite a few wrong paths in life (and I'm sure not the last ones) to begin to understand who God created me to be and why.

Of course, the now the question is "Who's Next?"
