Settling Is Simply Not an Option

52 years ago today my precious Daddy made his public profession of faith at 10 years of age & followed in believer's baptism a week later. Today he celebrates that decision & is grateful for the Lord's call on his life. It is because of that reason and so many more that I refuse to settle when it comes to who I will marry & build a life with. 

Are my standards high? Yes. Are they unrealistic? No. 

I'm not looking for a 30 something year old with the wisdom that my father's 52 year relationship with the Lord has brought him. I am looking for someone who is seeking a heart of wisdom & a willingness to be lead by the Lord every step of the way. I hope he makes mistakes that we can learn from together. I hope he can plan for the future yet fully experience the present moment that we live in. I want to laugh, cry, pray, worship & love the Lord together with that man.

It's because of that and some very specific convictions the Lord has given me that I will wait. I don't know how or when we'll meet but I know where it won't be. So if that means I have to wait a little longer then I will. I also recognize that because of my convictions my options are slim even within the body of Christ but settling is simply not an option.

When building a house you aren't going to just pick any little spot to start pouring the foundation. You are going to test the soil to make sure it is fit to be built upon because the last thing you want to do is pick a place where the soil can shift & the foundation of your home could settle. Once the foundation settles it can really cost you. No, it's better to wait & be sure. 

So while I wait I will continue to live my life, love those that I am with and seek to see His blessings all around me. 

"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Jeremiah 33:3 - 2013 Verse - 

Seeking to experience the joy on the journey ... 

I love you all!

Blessings ...
