brave

I am mustering the courage to be brave here. I am starting to have some revelations, and I'm trying to sort out if they are mine, or if they are influenced by the opinions of others.

I have feelings for two very different people. Where one zigs, the other zags. And vice versa. Is it really as simple as determining which "set" of stuff is most important? Or are there other factors to take into account? I am totally clueless on this one.

One totally (or at least mostly) lacks on commitment and interpersonal skills. He doesn't mean to, and he's incredibly sweet, but there are times when he misses the mark. By a mile. But, he shares my faith and some of my vision for the future. He gets me at a heart/spiritual level.

The other excels at commitment, attention to detail, and the little things that make you smile. He says the right things, does the right things, and thinks I hang the moon. But he doesn't share my faith and I am beginning to seriously doubt he could ever share my vision for the future.

So, do I give up the sure thing - the one who's in the game - for the one who gets me at the deepest level? Or do I forsake the one who shares the vision for the one who'd climb a skyscraper if I asked him to? Is it possible for either of these two to gain at least some of what the other has?

Lord, give me the courage to admit how I really feel and do the right thing. Whatever that is.
