I Am Done Looking for a Man!

When I first joined Big Church a few months ago, I was here to meet men. I was looking for a husband and I was really hoping that I would find him here. Many men have contacted me, and I have contacted many men since I joined. I guess I have met all kinds - the good, the bad, the ugly (inside). I have been proposed to many times, but turned each one down. None of them were the one God wanted me to be with. I have had it, though, with looking for a man. I have spent way too much time on it. I need to move on and concentrate on the things the Lord wants me to be doing, namely my ministry here in my home. I told the Lord that if He wants me to have a man that He is going to have to bring him to me because I am not searching anymore. I am at total peace now. I believe the Lord will bring me a man, but now I am just not wasting my human energy and time on it. It is in His hands. I will wait upon Him.

I understand, time is of an essence and wasting time is not the least bit productive. I only joined last Nov. 05, but seems like there is more than 10-1 ratio for the age groups. I just quit looking,if it be my Lord's will he will send someone to me. Be blessed with your new peace. I never had a lot of patience, unfortunately, so I quit the month of Dec. I have some wonderful Christian friends, and you can't love anyone if there isn't friendship there first.
So make a lot of friends, and keep Jesus number 1 just like you said. You are a smart Lady

Yesterday is past and gone, but tomorrow is forever.

Now that you've quit searching, He will bring the man He has for you to you. I believe a lot of the time God is just waiting for us to say, "Okay Lord I give up." Then He says,"Good, now I can do it."

Not if possible,
But SHALL.

I did receive this letter from a sister in Christ at my church and am letting this be my guide:

MOST WONDERFUL LOVE

In response to our longing to love and to be loved completely by another person God’s message to us is: “No not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by me alone. With giving yourself totally and unreservedly to me. To having an intensely personal and unique relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with me - exclusive of anyone or anything else - exclusive of any desires or longings.

I want you to stop planning, stop wishing and allow me to give you the most thrilling plan existing - one you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best. Please allow me to bring it to you. You just keep watching me, expecting the greatest things. Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I am. Keep listening and learning things I tell you. Just wait…that’s all.

Don't be anxious. Don't worry. Don't look around at the things that you think you want. Just keep looking off and away, up to me or you'll miss what I want to show you.

And then, when you're ready I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you would dream of. you see, until you are ready. And until the one I have for you is ready (I am working even this moment to have the both of you ready at the same time) until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I have prepared for you, you wont be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me and is, thus, perfect love.”
