Another One Bites the Dust Remember my post of a few days ago, The Man Of My Dreams Well, the answer is"No, he is not the man of my dreams!" What a shock, right? Oh well! I've gone through a couple of days of the blues and tears here, but am ready now to pick up and continue on now. While I was in my mini-depression, I was questioning God about why He was taking so long in bringing me my man. I was okay being single for the rest of my life. God is the one who said He wants me to be married. So, why couldn’t He just do what He was going to do quickly? Well, He very gently reminded me that it took decades for Abraham to realize the promise of Isaac! Ouch! That shut me up quickly! He told me to trust Him and not try to do things on my own or I will end up with an Ishmael on my hands! That is the last thing I want! So, I am back to being okay with waiting upon Him. I know He loves me and will not make me wait one second longer than He has to in order for me to meet my new husband that He has for me. I get sad and lonely sometimes, but those things are nothing compared to getting married to the wrong man and being miserable for the rest of my life. Thank you all for your prayers. My prayer to God concerning this was that He would either make it clear to both of us quickly that we were meant to be together or that He would get him out of my life quickly. So, God took him out of my life quickly. Thank You Lord for answered prayer! |

Hi, over the years I've questioned God about why I was always left out, especially when some Christians around me were married, then divorced, then married again. Just didn't seem fair. But now I realise how not ready I was to be a good wife - I could have married, but I wouldn't have honoured God as a wife or even in my choice of husband. Now I am so grateful that He in His wisdom and faithfulness has preserved me and continued to mold me into the person He wants me to be rather than who I thought I would be good at being. It's been a hard journey some days, but most certainly worth it! Bless you on your journey!

Yeah Jean - sometimes God shows us things about people and ourselves that can be hard to see sometimes. But in the end - He knows what is best for us and He loves us more than we can imagine. More than any husband could possible love us. So when I get alittle down about being alone - God reminds me that it's just not His time and that for whatever reason - it's just not a good thing for me right now. Hard one to take sometimes but He is at the helm and I trust him fully. I cant pick the right one for me - only He can. And that's the one I want. If He shows me something about a person that contradicts what the bible says, then I know in my heart - he is not for me. Be blessed Jean and know that God has someone very wonderful for you.
