The Door of Rejection

I learned the blessings of a "closed door" when I was 18 years old.  I volunteered at an organization where I met a man who was 6 years older than me.  Back then, I might have called it a "crush," but looking back, it was really an infatuation.  I would have changed my opinions, beliefs and my interests for him.  He said I was a nice girl, but too young for him to date.

Not long after, I met another man.  I actually told him that if the other guy changed his mind and DID want to date me, that I would end our relationship immediately.  Now I wonder why this new guy stuck around and continued to date me, but I am so grateful he did, because nine years later, we've been married for 7 1/2 years and have three kids.  

I ran into my "fantasy" man a few years back, and he was overweight, dating a girl with five layers of makeup, and he was just not that exciting.  My husband is skinny and sexy as the day we met.  We both look back at that time and laugh.  What seemed like a slammed door of rejection was actually a door opened so that I could find true love and respect with my husband!
