For Lent I'm letting go and letting God

Added a post Aug 24

Janie, I know that this Hurts... I understand, because I have been there too! but have you ever thought that maybe God doesnt want us to open up our hearts to some Joe-Shmo... who is going to trample all over it? I really respect your choice to give this to God... But understand, it doesnt stop there! God wants to write your love story! He wants to have a beautifully close and intimate relationship with you, BEFORE He gives you a husband! Please, pray about this, and here are some great books that will give more info on this concept! I am praying for you sister! Set-Apart Femininity by Leslie Ludy Sacred Singleness by Leslie Ludy When God Writes Your Love Story by Eric and Leslie Ludy I have read, applied and love all of these books! I can tell you from firsthand experience, being single is AMAZING! God is more than ready to shower you with love better than any man ever could! and, yeah, you may not be able to have sex with anyone- but love is not about sex... and Jesus forsook marriage for us, are we willing to do that for Him, even just for a season?
