God's Perfect Love Story

This may be a little rambly, but I want to write it down while its fresh in my mind, and heart.

So lately I've been thinking about God's plan for my life versues my planning and hoping he goes along with it. One of the areas I struggle in is trusting God to bring me a mate.

My friend and I were talking today about our desire to have children. And my desire to have children, biologically and adopted, is getting stronger and stronger every day. However I start to worry because here I am, 27 years old, and single. I haven't had a date in years. And yes I'm being serious.

Granted, I probably could have had a date or many dates if I did not have standards and set the bar high. But I know what I am looking for in a mate, and I don't see the point in wasting my time, and his and putting my heart out on the line for something that won't be.

In my women's bible study I"ve really been getting convicted about my plans vs. God's plan. And something finally clicked with me last night during my prayer time.

God has a plan for my life. And God has a Perfect Love Story all written out for me. It will be better than I could ever imgaine or dream up of on my own.

But yet I tend to ignore that. I tend to see someone I am interested in or think there is a possibility of and go after it, without consulting God or even remerbing that he exists at times! (just being honest, we all know how STUBBORN I AM!!)

So why do I do all of that? Why do I run around and twirl in circles when I could be working on the woman and future wife that God wants me to be? He has his plan for my life and my love story and he's in control of it.

So thats what I'm trying to do. To be calm. To trust in him. To not stalk. HAH! just kidding!! ;) But to really work on who *I* need to be before we drag someone else into this.

So pray with me that I will be patient and I will let God work on me.

And if you're single and struggling, just remember. God has his perfect love story written out for you as well. You're just not to that chapter yet.

Have you considered that maybe God wants you to be single?

I don't think so. I have a strong desire in my heart to be married and have children, and I think God plants those desires in your heart.

I think that almost everyone wants to be married and/or have kids. I don't think God plants those desires in your heart, they are normal human biological desires, and while I truly hope that you one day find the man you are looking for, I think you need to comes to terms with the fact that sometimes, people end up being single.

Good Point Anon. (boy do I feel weird calling you that!)

I think what I need to come to terms with is whether I will be single forever or married someday, God is still working on me and hasn't formed me into what I SHOULD be!

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
