Well as you know I have been doing this prayer life study with my sunday school and I'm loving it. In fact I just got done doing my lesson for today a little bit ago. It is already helping me so much! It has helped me not only with my patience, but also with some other things I have been struggling with in my life.
WARNING!! I'm about to reveal what has been going on inside my head the past couple days. Yes, scary I know!
Alright here goes nothing! So for awhile now I have been struggling with the fact that I don't have a guy. And it gets harder and harder when I see all my friends in relationships and getting engaged and married and what not. And then I start thinking is there something wrong with me? Why doesn't anybody like me? Why can't I find a guy? The answers...no there is nothing wrong with me, yes people like me I'm just overreacting and the reason I can't find a guy is because God hasn't brought him to me yet. I know that in the right time, in God's time He will bring me the guy of my dreams, He's just isn't finished with him yet. God has a plan for me and I just need to be patient and let Him reveal it to me in His time. God also knows the desires of my heart and that if I "delight yourself/myself in the Lord, he will give you/me the desires of my heart. Psalm 37:4"
So for now I just need to not worry about guys and just focus on the Lord! He's the only one who will never leave me and will never let me down. I need to grow in the Lord and have a fire and a passion for Him, so that I can become a godly woman whom God would bless with a goldy man so that we might raise children who will follow the Lord with their whole hearts. For right now I am just letting God prepare me for when He thinks the time is right. And as I am waiting I like to remember that old saying, "Good things come to those who wait!"

P.S. I hope I didn't scare you too much :)
Love it. Love you. You said it perfectly, God isn't done with him yet. Its gonna take a very special person to be the right one for you :) in so many different ways, haha. You are a one of a kind girl! And God may not be finished with you, yet either :) But when it happens, like you said, SO WORTH THE WAIT! So, while you're waiting for him, keep on falling deeper in love with Him :)
ReplyDeleteHONK!
I hope you don't mind me reading and commenting :) I can definitely identify with the struggles you mentioned. I remember spending so many nights and days wondering what I had done wrong, what I was lacking, why I was and had always been without. The situation was a constant source of frustration for me, and one I ceaselessly brought before the throne of God. During that time I made the decision to transfer schools and that first semester left me with no choice but to completely rely upon Him. To completely learn and accept for myself that He was enough for me. It was a long, rough road, but I found joy through the struggles because He did become all I needed. Certainly, I still wanted the other, but I no longer would dwell on what I was missing. During that time He taught me so much! And He cultivated within me characteristics that I now find to be essential for a healthy marriage. It wasn't too long after that that I met Alan. I don't mention this to offer up a solution - I mean it to be an encouragement. It sounds like you're approaching the situation with a great attitude and I think that's great :) I will be praying for you!
