“No one hasn’t snagged you yet? Why are you
still single?!? If I had the answer I would tell you but unfortunately I don’t.
I literally sat on this for months not
wanting to post this. Believe me when I
say I prayed and begged God. “Please don’t make me write this.” Like I really
thought I was going to win the battle.
Being a private person especially dealing
with relationships, it is the last thing you will hear me talk about. I can
count on one hand how many people know my relationship status (And I still have
some fingers left).
Let’s see I am 36 years old, Divorced, No
kids, Educated, and in love with God! Sounds pretty good to me, so what is the
hold-up? Not sure, I have asked God this a million times?
Do I get irritated, over- course? Does
it work on my nerve? YES But I trust God more than I can see. Has there
been “Almost” candidates’ um YES. Thank God for recalibrating those situations.
Words on repeat: “REALLY Lord whoever or wherever this Man of God is appears
to be is confused. Whatever map you gave him he obviously can’t read it or his
sense of direction is off.”
Two of the biggest lessons I’ve learned, never
settle or give in to extreme waiting,
to the point where your life is compromised and there is absolutely no sign of
hope. The “wait” I am referring to is borderline foolishness. Often individuals
feel he/she are the last ones on earth and of course that is lie from the pit.
On the contrary, when a woman feels good
about herself and gets the Rhema of how valuable she is, it’s impossible to do
any of the two. I think it’s just down right selfish to expect a person to wait
until they get good and ready to commit. What kind of mess is that? Taking for
granted that they will ALWAYS be there. Um Sir, that is not going to happen.
Smells like narcissism to me. If that is
the case then brother man or sistah girl need to stay single. BYE- BYE, and let
them GO!!!
My dad gave me this wisdom... “It doesn’t take
a REAL MAN of God years to recognize who you are to him. That man will know you
by name. See when I met your mother I immediately knew she was the one and she
did too. That is how God wanted it. We both accepted and trusted what God, said
end of story. His timing not ours.”
The reality is a woman will spend her entire life waiting, hoping, praying, and
wishing, exasperating her young years on a fantasy. My friends that is no way
to live.
When
it comes to God, the bible states: “Wait on the Lord, and be of good courage, and
He shall strengthen thine heart, Wait, I say, on the LORD!”- Psalms 21:14 I trust God during my waiting process. The man
that God has prepared for me will know me by my name. While I wait (on God), I am diligently working
on “Trica”.
My mimi told me: “baby girl wear your
heels, beat your face and slay in God”! I just love her!
Ladies, “Continue to trust Gods plan for your life. No matter what. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future- Jeremiah
29:11
Look inside and see the beauty that God has
created. And if you look don’t like what you see…ask God to help you change it
and he will! This is not what I know but how I live. Yes you are beautiful, and
yes there is someone made just for you! “You will belong to him and he will
belong to you”-TricaB™. The lord will never leave you or forsake you all
you have to do is trust him!
Wait on God, but don’t wait on him- Min. Andrea Barnes™ (mimi)
