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!

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

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...

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...
