I choose comfort over God's plan more often than not. I had spent so long controlling everything in this area of my life that when I tried to give God free reign I ended up running back to my old way of doing things. As I grew to know God I came to understand that He only wants what is best for me and He will only give the best to me. Ephesians 3:20 (NKJV) "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us" I know it is scary allowing an invisible God to work out a visible love story. BUT trust God anyway. I understand that it is uncomfortable not having control over this very sensitive area of your life. BUT stay committed to God's will regardless of the discomfort it may bring. Numbers 23:19 (NKJV) says "“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?" Trusting God is uncomfortable sometimes, but necessary always, so be encouraged lovelies, God knows exactly what He is doing. Thanks for reading lovelies! Peace & Blessings, <3 Nándi

I idolized marriage. I allowed my desire to be married to consume my thinking so much that it dominated my prayer time with God whenever I had my quiet time with Him. Reality set in and I had realized that not only was this an unhealthy way to spend my time. I realized that in order for me to truly enjoy being single, I had to chuck the idol I had constructed regarding marriage. So I did! & I have not regretted it since. I encourage you lovelies to rid yourself of any thoughts, ideas or actions that would cause you to esteem the institution of marriage in such a way that belittle's the most important relationship you will ever have in life, your relationship with God the Father, The Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ. 1st Peter 2:25 (NKJV) "For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls."

I needed some TLC. (Tender Loving Care) This waiting thing almost had your girl beat, but then I remembered this scripture below and I regained strength to press on. Psalm 27:14 (NKJV) "Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!" I know that waiting is a lot easier said than done some days, but even on the hard days when you want to give up God will give you the TLC that you need to remain steadfast and strong. I encourage you lovelies, DON'T give up! God's got you! God's got us :) Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) "But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint."

The wait is Annoying BUT Only if you make it. For so long I obsessed over figuring out God's plan in this area of my life and I upset myself by expecting God to show up on my time. I worked myself up and allowed my feelings to dictate my commitment to God and my future husband. I most certainly was not forming a heart/character that my husband could safely trust. Proverbs 31:11 "The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain." So I started to prayer and give my hopes and dreams over to God. I voiced my frustrations and felt so much more peace. God reminded me that His plans would exceed anything I could hope for for myself. Ephesians 3:20-21 (NKJV) "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen." Once I took God at His word it allowed me the opportunity to be satisfied in my singleness. I encourage you to do the same! Thanks for reading lovelies! Peace & Blessings, <3 Nándi |
