Love at first sight…
I was tired. Tired of being intrested in guys who seemed to have the “We’re just friends” speach as their personal motos. I had heard it so many times, I could practically recite it myself. They were good guys and good friends, but the Lord always seemed to move them out of my life as He needed. Now that said He moved a few into my life as friends that I needed to learn from to be who He needed me to be. Heartache shaped strength and character in me and drove me closer to the Lord
But basically….I was tired of fighting a battle the Lord was not with me on.
I still remember it. This one afternoon in a coffee shop hearing the same “Friends speach” again. Then all of a sudden, it was as if his words fell to the background and it was this conversation between myself and the Lord.” I surrended that afternoon to the Lord’s will. Whatever He had planned, I would do. Cause I sure wasn’t getting anywhere on my own.
Couple of weeks later a friend of mine (who was dating an college friend of mine) mentioned informally her guy had a friend going into the ministry. Well ok, I had felt a call by the Lord to marry someone in the ministry. Then she told me his name and the Lord amazed me.
For seven years I had prayed for my future husband (whoever he was, wherever he was, if he was). And for seven years though I tried not to, all the prayers ended the same:
“May he be a man after your own heart Lord.”
I met David on a blind date not long thereafter and we were engaged a few months after that. Truly surrendering to the Lord’s will and following His plan was the best thing I ever did in my life.
