Random Thoughts

I have been up thinking. I am not harboring unforgiveness towards anyone but in light of conversations I have had with my husband I worry about the women who stay in dead end relationships with no end in sight. I once talked to an older lady and she was with a man 20 years...... I was taken aback and actually asked point blank, "Why have you not gotten married?".

I read this post on Facebook by a guy that when he met his wife within 2 weeks they were talking about marriage. I think there are reasons why guys string women along whether intentionally or unintentionally. You may stay because you feel sorry about their past. You may have grown to love them just like mold grows on surfaces. How can you tell if your relationship is like this?

- The man has not assumed the responsibilities of adulthood

- There is no clear direction as to where the relationship is going

- You are not a priority

- He is not pursuing you, you are pursuing him.

When one meets a guy serious about marriage and you, he will want to see you all the time. He will seriously pursue you. He will pray with you.

I guess I just end up feeling bad for the women who wait and wait thinking that one day they will get engaged or one day they will get married to the guy that they are with. One day he will realize that I am the one when it's just deceiving oneself. Love is shown clearly. Love lasts infatuation does not. A man will seek early on before the heart is engaged to discern whether or not marriage will be in the cards. If not he will let them know and cut things if, if it is yes then he will court the woman to gain her heart. He will treat her like a precious gift.

An Assault on Christianity

I am against Critical Race Theory. I am against Diversity Equity and Inclusion because they go in hand. Instead where I stand is on loving my neighbor and even in seeing their culture knowing that in the Kingdom of God there will be people from every nation, tribe, and tongue. I want churches to just stand of the word of God without bringing erroneous ideas into the church. 

I kind of wish that the church would remember what God instituted in the early church and live by it. 

Acts 2:42 ESV

And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

So as a church let us know the issues and yes be made aware but let us be more devoted to what the bible says.

1 Timothy 4:13 ESV

Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.

So all to say this system has made a shipwreck of people's faith. 

How sad is this.

Yet I will say what Joshua said.

Joshua 24:15 ESV

And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

I don't want this faith just to be a Sunday thing but may the word of God permeate my being and let it flow out in an everlasting fountain. 

Impatience

I am not one to wait patiently for anything. God knows I am one to call back and ask. To prod people along...... I am really bad at that. The good thing is my husband tells me to wait and God blesses it. So here I am Lord I will wait upon you for the desires within me. For answers to prayer. That You do as You will.
