Missing Chances

Do you ever feel like maybe you missed your chance? I suppose in a way if you trust in God and in his infinite plan for your life it's hard to say that you missed a chance because He knows what is going to happen and plans it all out, but does God give you choices in his plan?
Someone brought that to my attention the other day. She said that she believes that God gives you choices on what to do, that sometimes he doesn't always just make it clearly apparent what direction to go in (really ya think?). So that got me thinking in terms of my relationships and I suppose lately I've been a little frustrated with the dating scene, being that it is non-existant for me, and I wonder...did I miss my chance?
Did I let go of the wrong person? Is that possible in all actuality? I'd like to think that God will in fact make it impossible to let go of the right person permanently, but I guess I never thought of the prospect that I might actually have to do something in order for it to all be right again. Maybe God won't just magically fix it, but I know I can't push something that isn't there.
I've been wrestling with this for over a week now, actually more like two. It's really annoying because I still don't know what to do....take a small bit of action or just stand idly by and wait for God.
I think I do know my answer, but I want to be sure.
So action?
Or wait?
hm.

Of course you have a choice, It's called free agency :) A divine and essential part of this life. HOWEVER, I think that even though God let's you choose which path to take, if you are faithful, he'll make it all work out. There's not only one path for you, but as you trust in God he'll make sure everything ends up good. Just do what you feel good about, what YOU want to do, and God will let you know if it's not right.

Thanks Kate, I guess I knew all that but never really wrapped my head around it totally.

Also, you need to have faith in God - and faith is not a passive word. You need to act, having faith that God will guide you. Put yourself out there Abby, it is the only way Mr. Right will find you.
