Waiting for the one....my prince charming
Written June 22, 2012. Edited 5-13
This past week I turned a year older. My last year in my 20's...it is hard to believe. I still feel like I should be this little girl sitting on daddy's knee, playing with my Barbies, running barefoot down the street, and running through the sprinkler. It is also that time of year I begin to reflect on my singleness of life. This year it has been harder to be fully content about being single....mainly because I have already gone to two weddings this summer, one more wedding in a few more weeks, then another girl in my single's group is getting married in October. So that for one makes me want to get married even more. I had a coworker be blunt and ask why I was still single Nd why I wasn't asking guys out or flirting with them....I was stunned. I told her I really don't want to get a guy that way.
She was surprised to hear that I didn't flirt. I got to really thinking about it that evening and decided I don't want to be known as a girl who got her man by flirting. The Lord brought to my mind some verses I studied in college on the unwise woman vs. the wise woman. I decided the unwise woman flirts and throws herself at a guy to get his attention. The wise woman waits on the Lord and lets the guy pursue her. This is what I want I want to be pursued....
I know in my heart that someday the Lord will bring me my prince....maybe not on a white horse and in armor, but if is the Lord's Will, he will allow me to have my own Prince Charming.
And by the way.....this is one of my top three qualities in my future mate.

He may have someone for you.......but WWWAYYY before that, He desires to have ALL of your heart, EACH and every desire you have....it has taken a long time with me for my wants to die as I believe He desires-to die to myself, but I can truly say, and more so today than at any other point in my life, I want HIS will no matter what even if He chooses to not bring somebody in to my life. The longer I live, the more I KNOW, that the kind of joy I seek, the kind of life I want, the amazing, out of this world, over the top existance I crave does not need to start with an engagement ring, a wedding dress, or a wedding chapel; indeed, it does not not need for a date in the future to begin!! It really is in a life completely given over to God...a life given in service to Him.....
