I imagine friends of mine that are married and truly love one another sitting at home and watching a program or reading. They have been through some serious tough times. When one is down the other lifts him/her up. I've noticed they encourage each other too, support one another with their mission fields. I've seen them be complete upset with each other, but they manage to kiss and make up. I don't live with them of course, but I imagine there are days they stay in bed, one reading to the other or both are reading the same book. I imagine them praying together before they seperate and go to work or go to sleep.
They talk about their finances as payday approaches and make decisions together as to what to buy for their home or their family.
I want that too. I am almost certain I speak for every single person out there. I've tried the online dating game. I can only say, I've made some good friends. I think that when I put my hand in God's plan, I stir the batter and add too much flour or too much milk to it. I'm ready to surrender to the Lord and let him bring me my best friend for life.
I made a decision to write down what I'm looking for in a man. He first has to love the Lord and love everything else second. His heart needs to be so hidden in Christ, I have to go through Christ to get to him.
Sometimes, I think, I love the Lord so much that noone can compare and therefore can't compete with him either. So wouldn't that leave me without a spouse and totally committed to Christ? It might, but what I know, what I have learned, is that God didn't want Adam to be alone and he wouldn't want me to be alone either..
When I've made a choice to commit to a marriage; somehow it went wrong. For once in my life, I want it to go right.
If you know someone, that has his heart so hidden in Christ that I have to go through Christ to get to him, please let me know. I'm open for suggestions and who knows, maybe God will use you to lead me tomy best friend for life.
Thanks for letting me share this and I ask you to pray for me to continue to surrender to the Lord's plan and not my own.
Jeremiah 29:11-12
I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out-plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen.
