Song of Solomon 3:5

I've heard some fabulous news lately!!! SO many dear friends are engaged! I'm beyond excited for them and the blessings that will come with marriage for their patience! :)

ALONG with hearing this good news I KNOW it can be tempting to be wishful or even jealous, especially for us girls, we long to be desired and sought after. I thank God for the peace he has given me this semester regarding those feelings. It has been tough being patient and waiting to hear His voice in order to know what my next step may be, BUT he has totally restored to me the joy of HIS salvation and granted me a willing spirit, to sustain me (Psalm 51:12) throughout this whole process. I mean I KNOW this is a struggle for me, scroll down to a few journal entries ago and you'll see how frustrated I was with the world and it's standards in waiting for marriage BUT the Lord has been gracious and allowed me to think upon whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy! (Phillipians 4:8) It's tough, because Satan knows as women we crave to have a soul mate, someone who knows us completely inside and out and to have that forever would just be amazing. BUT there is a time for everything. (Ecc. 3:1) Just think-if we were rushing SO fast to pursue marriage we could miss out on some other blessings along the way or even someone. If the Lord hasn't showed you that person yet, DO NOT be discouraged. He is still working in either your heart or your mates. Be excited about that! Knowing that we aren't finished yet but that he has promised he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus!! (Phil. 1:6)AND last but not least Christ commands us to not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. (Song of Solomon 3:5) IF anything be confident in knowing that the God who "created galaxies no has ever seen and dug canyons we have yet to find" (a love worth giving) will be faithful and just to bring you a mate if those are the desires of your heart! Enjoy right now, the very moment you have to be alive right now whether it's with your soulmate or not. HE is your everything and that should be sufficient enough always. : )

i'm so excited to have Jesus in my heart. I have purpose and that's so amazing!
