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!

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...

New Bedroom Decor!

 Every Year my SIL outdoes herself with the gifts she gave us the year before. This year was no exception! She made this amazing picture for me. If you look close all of the pieces of the heart are small pictures of me and my friends! I was amazed! I still can't get over it! I just love it so much!  So I decided to hang it above my bed. I don't have a headboard and I have really felt like my room was lacking something to pull it together. I think this picture does it nicely! And yes, I sleep with a stuffed animal. I'm single, don't judge! I also sleep with 5 pillows. I tend to fall out of bed. They are like my bumpers! HA! Seriously though I just love it and it's so neat to look at all the pics of different friends and stages in my life and remember all of the fun memories! Thanks Liz!!
