I am a Blessed Woman
Not to knock singleness and everything but being off the market is something new and fun. Ha. Actually singleness is a beautiful thing. It allows us to truly put in some work for the master because you don't have to check back with someone else. If you want to put your hundred percent in with Christ you don't have to check with husband or children. You can fast and pray with purpose and intensity like never before.
But on the other hand man was not meant to be alone and for that I thank God that my Boaz has put in his appearance and he is loving me to distraction. Okay! And it's all holy which is all good. Granted it sounds like a "touch me with thine eyes only" thing but it's not. But neither is it a "Oh my gosh...we barely escaped fornication that time" kind of scenario. It's just nice. He's worried about my purity and I am worried about his.
I love this man of God...mostly because he loves Jesus more than he loves me....and he loves me something fierce. The reason that I say I'm blessed in this relationship is this....I didn't have to go looking for him, I wasn't pining for him, wasn't even thinking about no one. I just said Lord I wanna walk close beside you. I took some time to be with God and decided that even if I did feel lonely it would just be Jesus and I all the way.
Lo and behold at the end of the 'year' here comes this man of God looking in my direction declaring that I am his good thing and that he believes it is the will of God that we get married. Don't think I'm not praying all the way on this cause forever is a long time and I don't plan on falling out of love with my husband.....
But I'm just saying it might not be exactly the way it is for us...but God will bring the right person at the right time.
