What a fool believes

Tonight I am thinking of a threat the enemy often uses against me.  He says, "If you would not have pursued ministry as a young woman, you would have been married by now".  I have heard this threat so much in my life, that I just don't want to hear it anymore.  I began to fight back.  I told the enemy that it is easy to say what could have been but the reality is that no one knows.  You don't know what your life would have been like unless God opens his mouth and tells you.  Guess what.  He didn't tell me, so an assumption is a lie on it's best day.  A fool believes in things that never were as if they existed, but I am no fool.  If I missed something and my existence was my own fault, then I take the blame.  I can't.  For every reason someone would come up with for these lonely nights, I know someone who had the exact same reason and they got married anyway.  You can't speculate about what should have been, like it really was.  Time has judged it and the moment is past.  I, like Robert Frost, stopped wondering about the road not taken years ago.  I did not pursue that path.  It did not happen for me at that time.  Notions about people that you never had in your life, are what a fool believes.
