I am so proud of you! Isn't it amazing how quickly we can forget what we were sure God was telling us? And...in my experience it is almost always pride getting in the way. Of course it felt good to have someone asking you out..Let me just tell you, Kali, you are a beautiful young woman and plenty of young men will want to ask you out. But please remember, you are the daughter of the King. As such, you should have THE guy that God has in mind for you. This weekend our speaker at the Women's Retreat said that wait meant to 'patiently anticipate'. Doesn't that sound better than wait??!!! So I am going to join you in prayer that God will give you strength as you 'patiently anticipate' the Godly man He is going to send your way!  :)
Love you! Linnea

Does God really say wait? Where?

Just curious because for a couple of years now I have been waiting on God to introduce me to my wife. Still waiting.

Then I started looking in His Word and from what I can gather, it is my responsibility to find her:

GEN 24:4
Go instead to my homeland, to my relatives, and find a wife there for my son Isaac.”

GEN 24:7
For the Lord, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and my native land, solemnly promised to give this land to my descendants. He will send his angel ahead of you, and he will see to it that you find a wife there for my son.

GEN 24:38
Go instead to my father’s house, to my relatives, and find a wife there for my son.’

GEN 24:40
He responded, ‘The Lord, in whose presence I have lived, will send his angel with you and will make your mission successful. Yes, you must find a wife for my son from among my relatives, from my father’s family.

PROV 18:22
The man who finds a wife finds a treasure,
      and he receives favor from the Lord.

PROV 31:10
Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
      She is more precious than rubies.

Sorry if it seemed like I was bombarding your post. It just seemed like a good time to pose this question.

I am proud of you too!

By the way, what are you doing next Friday? (Just kidding)

I felt compelled to come back and offer an apology for posting the above comment on your post.

I did not look at your profile prior to responding and therefore I did not realize that you are only 18. Please accept my apology.

You write very well.

And now that I know.....I say WAIT!
