Wow, my life has been completely turned upside down this past little while...in a positive and fantastic way though! The Lord continually blows me away with His sovereignty...kinda like He's got it all figured out and under control ;)
The past seven (almost eight) years have been a real journey for me. Both personally as well as spiritually. When I became a single Mother of an infant and a toddler, I didn't know how I would ever make it. With the help and support of my family and friends, the daily living became manageable. With that, the realization of what (or should I say 'Who') I really needed in my life became very evident.
Turning my life over to Christ was the most important decision I had ever made. My life didn't become easy once I made that decision, in fact, it became more difficult. Things I didn't give any thought to before were now being challenged in a new way. I was now dealing with living the worldly life I'd been used to, and the righteous life I was now being called to. The battle of the mind and of the flesh.
Although I've come along way in my personal relationship with Christ, I know I still have so much to learn and so much growing in Him yet to do. Thankfully, God is patient and doesn't expect perfection from his sinful daughter.
On this journey of mine there have been several struggles, but my singleness has been the biggest. I have always tried my hardest (as much a humanly possible) to really rest in His sovereign plan regarding my singleness. Although I always had a calm 'sense' that I wouldn't always be alone, I questioned God's timing and wondered 'when will it be my time??'. I prayed and prayed and prayed...and I knew others were praying for me too. Still, I had to know that He was my husband and he was jealous. He certainly wasn't going to give me to just anyone...it would be someone 'special'...
So with that being said....MY TIME HAS COME!!! Yes that's right! My warrior-poet has arrived to claim me for his bride! (Lol, ok...that sounds a bit like it's out of a novel, but its true!) Yep, this girl is quite giddy that Father has revealed her 'beloved'...'the one whom my soul loves'... He is my 'warrior-poet', my King David - not a perfect man...but perfect for me...my 'special' one!
Although our lives 'together' have already begun, I plan with great excitement the day our lives will be united and we come together as 'one' in the eyes of God. For He has known this day to be... O, how I imagine the smile on Father's face now that we have finally been revealed to one another! His timing IS perfect! What a testament of His faithfulness to us both...and to those who have walked through our journey with us!
Praise be to God, for great things he hath done!
Until next time,
'K'
