Wait on the Lord

In the Waiting...

If you think about it, waiting is never easy. Just think back to Christmas when you were a kid. The week before Christmas always seemed agonizingly long... because you were so excited about what was under the tree for you! Did you peek? If you did, that really ruined the surprise on Christmas morning, didn't it?

Waiting for the right man or woman to come into your life is hard... much harder than waiting for Christmas. As a Christian woman who loves my Savior, I believe God is saving a Christian man for me that I will love and cherish for the rest of my life. I don't know if I've met him yet. I get discouraged with the waiting, to be honest. At my low points, God lifts my eyes to Himself. Just think of how He cherishes His relationship with you!

Relationship with God

Let's be real...I'm a romantic. So, when God paints a beautiful sunset across the sky, my heart is glad... because that was a display of affection from Him that I can understand. An encouraging word from a friend, a song on the radio, and Bible verses are ways God speaks to us. These things help me as I wait. Someday I hope to find a man that is at least a little romantic ;).

Don't sit around waiting for prince charming to show up on your doorstep... for all you know he could have gotten lost! Be outgoing and optimistic; try new things you are interested in. Go to a new church, try a gym class, or even go country dancing. The more people you meet, the more likely you are to not only meet "the one", but you'll have more friends and more fun.

"Jesus, Lover of my soul, Jesus, I will never let you go.
You've taken me from the miry clay, and set my feet upon the rock, and now I know...
I love you, I need you, though my world may fall, I'll never ever let you go."
Song "Jesus, Lover of My Soul", Darlene Zschech
