Happily Ever Never

Thy will, make it my will, God.

This was such a hard concept for me to grasp and retain. I had prayed the prayer over and over, but still had this unsettling lack of joy deep in my soul about my relationship status. When would my happily ever after happen? God, why am I still in this season of singleness? God, when??? When is it my turn? When will You show me the man You have handpicked for me? WHEN? 

I once had a bestie of mine tell me these sweet words, and sometimes, when would I get down about where I am in life, I would steal a glance back at them, and pray, yet again, for God to reveal His plan in my life in regards to my Mr. Forever.

"You, my friend, are absolutely amazing.  I'd like to say that the timing in life is off but I know God has perfect timing and a reason for everything.  God knows the desires of your heart.  He knows you desire a great husband and I'm positive he has one for you. The way you love people, your willingness to help and serve, and your awesome ability to care for children are all attributes of an amazing wife and mother. You're a keeper, and the guy who is finally able to "put a ring on it" will be a lucky man.  Just know that you deserve great things; and don't settle for less than what you know you deserve."

Don't settle. Don't lower your standards. Don't compromise your morals. Don't turn from God in desperation over a timeline you think is not moving along quick enough. Don't assume the agenda of the devil in losing confidence in your Lord, the King of all Kings. Trust Him and His timing and in time He will reveal what His intentions in your life are. 

Proverbs 3:5-6 

[5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
