Having mental health challenges has made dating and genuinely connecting with another a disaster. It’s hard to tell if it’s just me and my personality or the scars of my trauma they see. I would like to believe it’s the fence God has around me. Transitioning from an abusive childhood to an abusive marriage; caused me to pause and question myself.  Are people who’ve been broken able to recognize and receive authentic love? Can we function without the dysfunction? That’s where faith and healing come in. Knowing and receiving the love of God has taught me what love is. In conclusion: when I see the love of God reflected in another, I will respond accordingly. This go around I’m not settling for just a helpmate, I need a Soul mate. In love, I have often felt defeated, but God reminds me as long as I’m living, healing and this heart is still beating, I am capable of receiving and giving love. I’ve realized taking the time to grow, to reflect back on the choices I made; caused me to evolve into the person I want to attract. In my case of still being single, God is working on me in the waiting room of my heart and restoring my sanity.
