The Waiting Game

Oh the waiting game, I think it's safe to say that no one likes waiting.  We would all just prefer that it (Whatever the situation my be) would just happen.   Especially when it comes to finding "The One"!  We all see our friends with their significant others, or even their spouses (Depending on your age.) and long to have that special person.  

Sometimes what we forget is that God will bring us that "Special Person" in His perfect timing.  Not a day late, or a day too soon.   He knows when each of us are ready, and mature enough to handle a relationship, with that person.   He also may have other things that He needs us to focus on before, He puts that person in our lives.

Kaitlyn, and I (Alyssa) often joke around because we have dreams about our future spouses, but can never see their faces!  We can see from the neck down and that's it.  It drives us insane!  Regardless of whether this is just a strange issue we have when we dream, or whether it's God keeping our future men a secret.  We always laugh when we have these dreams.

Anywho, back on topic.  The waiting game can be hard, and sometimes we want to stop waiting and just grab whatever is out their and available.  But we need to remember to guard out hearts, and keep our minds pure.  Going for a guy just because he's an "Option" at the time can be very dangerous, and not a wise decisions.  Always pray, consult God, and read scripture to see what you should do.

You want someone that is going to build you up, and bring you closer to God.  Not someone that constantly tears you down, and drags you away from God.  That is one of the most important things to pay attention to.

All things worth having are worth waiting for! :)

"Above all else guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." Proverbs 4:23
