My older brother has often said he's SO glad to not have to go through the dating game any longer (since he's married). In praying boldly for a husband, my prayer over the last few months has changed from "Lord, I really want a husband", to "Lord, put me in the path of my husband". Makes sense so that the decisions I need to make, I trust that they will be influenced by that prayer.

Anyway, I wanted to share this "revelation" which really opened my eyes to a new perspective in regards to the whole dating "Game"....since that sure is what it feels like sometimes!

Just recently, I crossed paths with a solid, godly guy I had met several months ago. I was SO thrilled, as I think a lot of him; how outgoing he his about his faith and how he demonstrates true care and compassion for others. Anyway, I had heard from him out of the blue, after running into him...which I was thrilled (again) about. So we had a bit of contact and then out of the blue, he was getting in contact with a good friend of mine (who didn't seem to even care too much for his personality and outgoing faith). I was really quite disappointed about the whole situation...and also realized I was kind of angry with God about.

That evening, I was headed to bed and just had my mine full of frustration about the whole situation as I so wanted things to work out "my way", and basically couldn't sleep for hours!

Again, my wise older brother's advice came to me of, if a guy is really interested in a girl, he'll make it happen to have her attention and be around her...I just felt the Holy Spirit really speak to my heart and say 'Rebekah, as much as you want to have this specific guy in your life and to be in a relationship with him, I know exactly how you feel! Rebekah, how you feel of longing for this, I long to be in relationship with you that same deep and longing way'.

It's SO frustrating when our own thinking and plans do not work out in the way we rationalize they should, but if we truly believe God has good plans for us; it's SO much more than a cliche!

I pray that this post will encourage your heart that the Lord has not forgotten us Single Ladies! He sees our hurts and can handle our frustrations and will meet us there!
