Signs given but delayed

I think maybe the delays are more surface level than we think. Maybe the delay is simply because time is man-made and nature / a deity doesn't exactly subscribe to that same time frame we do. I think that's one way of looking at it.

Another could be that the delays are there to show you that there's still waiting to be done for this person. Maybe they're not meant to come into your life immediately or super fast paced, or even at a normal pace. It could mean that you have more waiting to do until you can be with them or have exact confirmation that they are the one.

* * Leorose, I realize "Newbie' doesn't mean we're new to this stuff, yet I was reading your reply and thought you sounded very versed as so many here. What to say in addition. Can't think of anything more in response to the initial thread, and thanks; back to finish reading replies.

* * HORACE, had to laugh. There are those that certainly sound as if that's what they expect from this great mystery.

Love that particular Steve Winwood song, yet I thought it was "When you see a chance ...". Always certain, yet often wrong :)

To me, if the spark ain't there; it ain't there. So were you just sharing a "flat" (you're definitely overseas eh?) as friends, and something changed for you? Or you had expectations and the flatmate isn't nibbling?

Sounds very weird to think of staying living together, but in separate rooms and wait for something magical to happen.

I feel you are setting yourself up for more 'heart*ache.

But that's only another opinion. Hope things work out for you. And just remember; no matter how it works out; it's for the best. You can choose how you'll react or respond in order to learn and grow from the situation.

I'm going to assume that is okay to say. If not I've made an *** between you and me. But good advice Rozie ~

I JUST saw this 'conversation was from 2016, then saw yours was today.

Anyway, interesting idea I never heard. I believe the saints must be simply better at interpreting nature's 'signs'.

Care to converse further?

Well she's moving out in a few days ... there goes my answer. We'll see if the friendship continues after she leaves. The ball is in her court. I've already declared my feelings in the past.

Prabably God answers the prayers faster because they're done with so much faith
