While in Africa this summer I was taught alot about marriage. The ups, the downs, missions as a married couple, etc. Since I have been home from Africa, my prayer for my life has been, "Lord keep me hidden in your heart until it is your timing for me to be with the man you are molding just for me." As I have prayed this prayer I have found so much joy and peace in HIS love. However, there are days like today where the fears try to take over and the lies of the enemy begin to flood my thougths. I know that HE works all things out for my good. And I know that HE does have that special someone out there for me to become one in His son's holy name with, but man alive is it hard to be patient. I am praying that my heart will stay focused on HIM and the places HE has me in right now. I know that HIS love never fails. And I know that it is His delight to place my hand in my future husband's hand.
He has placed it on my heart alot in the last week that HE longs to have this time with me. This is my time to be so consumed and wrapped up in only HIS love. I don't want this season to be a waste. I want to soak up all that HE is showing me. The enemy is trying to steal this season from me by trying to have me believe lies. I am writing this right now to claim that the enemy has nothing on me and that this season of being drenched in my Papa's love will be a season that I will never forget.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
