bling bling and forward thinking.


I am in that season in life where it seems that EVERYONE around me is either seriously dating someone, engaged/planning a wedding, or having babies. I know I am totally exaggerating and making it seem like I am the last person on the planet that is single. This is not the case although sometimes it can seem that way.

What I do know is that sometimes I feel alone or out of place when I am in the company of couples, whatever stage of life they are in. This is "normal" and "everyone feels this way at one time or another" but it is always different when it happens to you.

I am assured that I don't need a physical person to fulfill the places of my heart that only the Lord can fill. Our society has filled our head with the idea that you need to have a relationship to be "happy" or "satisfied." That is a load of crap if you ask me. That being said I know that the Lord has created us so that we can in turn create, but that is NOT all there is to life.

We live to worship our Lord and to give him the glory in all things. We are to acknowledge him and he will make our paths straight. While it would be great if Mr. Right could do that, I am sure that he doesn't have "turning water into wine" on his resume.

Psalm 62:5 "Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him"

Hello.

Hebrews 13:5 "God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'"

Again I say...hello.

I know that my day will come when I walk down the isle and I get to grow old with my best friend. Until then I can live my life knowing that He is enough for me and that He treasures my in a way no man on earth could.

I leave you with this little nugget of truth.

"A woman's heart should be so lost in God that a man needs to seek Him in order to find her."
