“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles.” Isaiah 40:3
Do you play the waiting game? For anything? Anything at all?
Not to make it sound like I have a one track mind, but I always knew that I was going to wait. In the subject of a husband. What I wonder is, why do girls, sit around and wonder and make the choice to wait. Not saying that men don't think about it, but I have personally never met a man who has told me he thinks about his future wife.
Now, I always knew I was going to wait till marriage to have sex, and yes even at 19, I am still a virgin. (ohhh scary!! not) but yet I still wonder about the Man the Lord has for me.
Lots of people tell me, you're still so young, enjoy being single, don't rush into anything. Which, yes, is great advice, but give me a minute to explain my thinking.
Maybe I'm tired of being not "tied down". Maybe I think that marriage isn't so "jail-like". Yes I know that I lose a lot of freedoms, but I was never one to go out and do a bunch of stuff by myself. It's not that I need a man to live, but I would like someone to go out and do God's work with, that was my life partner. Someone to share my dreams with and to start a family with. Life is about making a life and a home, and it's not something I want to do alone.
So that is my rant. I'm all for waiting, and I'm all for the Lord's Timing, and I know that there is a man out there for me, and I know that he is wonderful, and in love with the Lord, and that he is amazing with kids and that he works to please the Lord. This I know.
Maybe I have already met him?
Hope he is still waiting for me :)
