The Search Is Over

Do you remember the old Survivor song - "The Search Is Over?" That is the way I feel since God brought Ed, my new husband, into my life. I keep hearing the chorus to that song over and over again in my mind. It goes - "The search is over. You were right there all the while." That is the way I feel. It seems like Ed was lost somewhere and I kept looking from man to man for him, but each one I looked at turned out not to be him. When I finally met Ed, it was as if I had finally found what I had been searching for all of my life. He was there all the time, I just hadn't found him yet. Does that make sense to anyone, or am I crazy?

Well, you are American, so you are crazy..but you are talking sense in that Ed was the one that God intended for you all along and somehow you know that in your spirit

No, you are not crazy, and it makes perfect sense...that is how it should be...I think we all go through life searching for the "one" meant for us...some settle for the wrong "one" because they think their expectations are too high, or because they cannot/will not wait on God's timing...I wonder how many times God is grieved by our impatience? Divorce is so rampant - in the world as much as in the church - because we refuse to give God his place on the throne of our hearts...perhaps if people could just wait, be still and know that He is God and in control...but that is just it, we want to be in control, of everything, so much so that the thought of giving control to God is anathema to most...those, who like you, have waited on Him to move, reap the blessings in full...I am truly happy for you, and encouraged that my time will come...Be blessed my sister and brother in Christ...you have been and will be rewarded for you patience, for your obedience and for your submission unto Him who is King over your lives...it is easy for many to say that Jesus is their Lord and Savior, but few remember what His being Lord means...it means Master and Commander of your life, and you have given Him that place in your lives...He will honor that, for with the measure you have sown so shall you reap...

It makes perfect sense to me...but you still might be crazy. That doesn't make me love you any less, or miss you any less.

Hmm...that reminds me of another line from a song..."you might be right, I might be crazy, but it just might be a lunatic you're looking for..."

Yes!!! Jean because it is happening to me ...exactly what you just said. In your words.....I've found a man!!!!! God is dealing very serious with us both and we are on our face before Him as to the steps the Lord would have us to take. Don't think I will be getting married in 4 weeks!! LOL!! But this one thing I do know is.... God is speaking to the two people and not to everybody else so if two people are on their face before the Lord about it and they are two people really seeking Gods plan then whether it be 4 weeks 4 months or 4 years you do it why God says it is right and everybody has an opinion just like everybody has a B.U.T.T. oh uh I mean smiley yellow guy..hehehehe!! Anyway the gentleman I am involved with is into heartfelt worship and praise ministry and was a part time pastor. He was married for 32 years until his wife died 4 years ago. And YES!!! I had my check list out and I was even asking God surely there has to be something that doesn't fit but the first 5 days we talked 10hrs each day. It was awesome and he did the same with his list. We have posed very serious questions to each other. At 48 and 58 years old you should have some discernment from your experiences in life and your walk with the Lord. He was an aerospace engineer for 20 yrs and now has his own engineering cousulting company and ministers in worship. He has a large vision for the ministry God has called him to. I will keep you updated and will try to contact you soon

Jessica keeps telling me that I am either crazy or delusional, so it may be related to love.

Well Jean............ it may be over for you; but it's not over for me. Where is my other half ? Is there no one for me ?

No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 1 Cor. 2: 7

Godlycook, you just gave me the perfect seque into what I wanted to add to this wonderful "thread." And by the way, I add my amen to everyone's comments for blessings to Ed and Jean...and Pamela, too. (I, too, hope you find time to post here on BC, Pamela.)

I was very young (maybe 12 or so) when the Lord gave me a kind of vision. (Don't know if it was a dream or what. Doesn't matter.) I saw what looked like halves of flower vases floating around out in space. As I watched, I saw how two of them would attempt to "come together," but they just couldn't because they...well...they just didn't fit with one another. There were some that when they came together, it looked pretty good from a distance. However, when you got close, you could see places where there were "gaps" or holes.

But then every once in a while, two "halves" would come together...and when they did, it was like "Wow!" They "fit" together so snugly, it was like they were made to fit together, just like when you are putting a jigsaw puzzle together and you snap a piece of puzzle into place. No other "piece" would fit in that "place." No amount of forcing could make another "piece" work, even though it might kinda/sorta be close. You know how it is when you've been trying to find that "missing piece" and you find one that is real close. You want to somehow "force it into place."

But then a little later you finally find the one that REALLY fit, and when you do, it snaps into place with ease--no forcing, no struggling.

Of course, I'm giving an analogy here. The merging of two lives is quite different than snapping jigsaw puzzle pieces together! LOL! However, I believe there's a "Holy ease" that should be there. I believe this is what Ed and Jean are experiencing and give testimony to here. And it's what I expect to experience with my David when I...hm...finally find him/he finds me.

How's that for a long answer to a short question? LOL!
