Single pot watcher.

I remember the days when I was single.  I so wanted to be married.  I would hang out with my married friends and play with their kids.  Weekends were excruciating.  I would do everything I could to keep myself occupied but I was so very lonely!!  I could only see what I didn't have and not what I did.  All of my friends had husbands and kids and that was what I wanted.  So, instead of enjoying the time that I had to be just me I wasted it.  Looking back I want to say, I was an idiot.

I didn't have to worry about someone else's meals, I didn't have to worry about cleaning anything if I didn't want to.  I didn't have to do anything!  If I wanted to change jobs and move to another town I totally could have!  Why didn't I?  I don't know.  I couldn't see the forest for the trees I guess.

I have a beautiful friend.  She has just come to the end of a relationship.  She is sad, thus I am sad for her, but at the same time I want to bathe her in the knowledge that this break up is just God's way of saving her from heartache later on.  This man was not good enough for her, the role he plays in her happily ever after will merely be considered Boyfriend scene 24 when the credits role.  He played a role but it was more to make her appreciate what her future holds.

Why do we always choose to underestimate the power that God has?  We can not even begin to grasp all that he has in store for us if we choose to come to know him.

Matthew 7: 9 - 11
Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?  If you, then, though you are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will you Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him?

God knows the perfect plan for us.  He has the perfect gift.  The only catch is you have to wait on God.  He can see the big picture.  Trust him.  Wait on him.  Take this time of not knowing to draw closer to him.

A friend told me before I got married your spouse will love you so much that they will think they don't deserve you and you will love them so much that you will think that you don't deserve them either.  You will spend the rest of your lives loving one another in order to deserve that love.

If you are focused on something that is making you sad, shift your focus.  What you think you want just might not be in store for you right now.  Find something completely different that makes you happy and focus on that for now you never know what will happen when you aren't watching the pot boil.
