It's been 10 years since I've been in a serious relationship. There have been a handful of dates since then, but nothing meaningful, and no second dates primarily (fairly certain entirely) at my choosing.
God has been doing a lot of untangling in my heart of late--one of the friendlier ways my verse of the year has been playing out in my life.
The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Exodus 14:14, NIV
All I ever wanted to be was a wife and mom. Any other ambition I had outside of that was extremely secondary. Until now.
Details to come, but I'm pursuing something with my art that would be far more difficult if I had a family. And the truth of the matter is that I know myself well enough to admit that I almost certainly wouldn't even try to pursue it if I had a family.
I'm confident I'm on the right path for a number of reasons, but the most important is that God keeps whispering peace to my heart and hope & joy to my soul.
Another reason I know is because Satan keeps trying to pull me into despair. If you are willing to set aside the dream of being a wife and a mom, you're a loser! It's a lie & a despair that I've known too well for too much of my life.
Not today Satan! I know where my purpose is and I am so excited to let God lead the way. I can't do any of this on my own. Thankfully, I was never asked to. I can see glimpses of the tapestry He's been weaving for years. I can't wait!
Apparently, this is where my other verse for the year comes in. One I had forgotten that God had given me for 2018. So, so thankful for the reminder of it today.
For with God nothing will be impossible. Luke 1:37, NKJV
