I have been going through alot of soul searching lately. I am trying not to be the bitter single girl who keeps wondering when it is Her turn. I am trying not to look at others and think, "When is it my turn?". I am trying to be okay with how my life is right now and focus on what the Lord wants me to work on in my heart to be the perfect compliment to my husband's heart. But, like I said, I am trying...it is hard. I don't want to be bitter- I know to be patient, I know to wait on the Lord... But again, knowing and doing are two different things.

I have found myself recently praying for someone. My general prayer is : Father, shape him into the man you have intended for him to be, whoever he is to be with. Mold me into the woman you have planned and guard my heart that I may save it for the one you have chosen". I am clinging to these words lately. Tonight, I was reading my bible study and came across this chapter in Isaiah. Something about it calmed me. I read his words in verse 9. “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts."
What a good thought. God's plan and path is so much better than I can ever plan. I have an idea of what my husband should be, but God has chosen one that will be beyond my wildest dreams. He has chosen one....he has a CHOSEN one for me...now all I have to do is to wait, but i will never be standing still.

Isaiah 55: 1-13
Invitation to the Thirsty

1 “Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
2 Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and you will delight in the richest of fare.
3 Give ear and come to me;
listen, that you may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David.
4 See, I have made him a witness to the peoples,
a ruler and commander of the peoples.
5 Surely you will summon nations you know not,
and nations you do not know will come running to you,
because of the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor.”
6 Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake their ways
and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on them,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the LORD.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
12 You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
This will be for the LORD’s renown,
for an everlasting sign,
that will endure forever.”
