Your Gut Feeling

First as a disclaimer I'm changing all names in this blog.


One day I was talking with Martha and we were talking about our gut feelings and instincts with being mom's and she was telling me that she had read a book that says you should follow your instincts more.  So while we were on the topic I asked her if she had had much interaction with Bo at church, and I know more than got it spit out and she instantly said as little as possible.  Which was a relief to hear because there is something about Bo that makes me VERY uncomfortable and I was very glad to hear that it was not just me that had this feeling.

My other gut feeling is regarding two friends.  I have a friend Audrey who I met in Columbus and she pretty much became my sister and then we moved and she moved.  She was going into ministry but didn't really want to be in a parish, she wanted to be a chaplain.  Well her plans have changed and she's moving back to Ohio and looking for a teaching job which I must say she is so good with kids that I think people would be dumb not to hire her.  Anyway while we've been separated I'm always thinking about her and it dawned on me the one day. It's fate she's moving back to Ohio and now I can introduce her to Rex.  Rex is a friend of mine who has become like a brother to me (not sure he realizes this is what I think) and he's a great guy.  I was telling Emali about my plan last night and she instantly started talking about marriage between them  so apparently I'm not the only one who thinks they would be good together. So now it's just a matter of when and how.  Audrey knows of my plan and I'm trying to figure out if I should let Rex in on the plan or just let them meet and see what happens.

I have definitely learned that sometimes it's really good to follow my gut occasionally I'm wrong like with the one person I was convinced didn't like me at church.  I think I'm the one that put up the wall which I know I'm good at so I'm trying to tear the wall down to see what will happen.  Only time will tell & I will blog again after Audrey & Rex meet.  (I'm sure I'll blog again before that too)
