"Nevertheless, I am continually ...Asaph says,<br /><br />"Nevertheless, I am continually with You;<br />You hold my right hand.<br />You guide me with Your counsel,<br />and afterward You will receive me to glory.<br />Whom have I in heaven but You?<br />And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.<br />My flesh and my heart may fail,<br />but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.<br />For behold, those who are far from You shall perish;<br />You put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to You.<br />But for me it is good to be near God;<br />I have made the LORD God my refuge,<br />that I may tell of your works."<br />Psalm 73:23-28<br /><br />In some ways, the "long" wait for marriage has taught me many of the same spiritual lessons. I only ever wanted to be a wife and mother. Now that I have the anticipation of being a wife, I don't even know yet if I will be a mother, but my satisfaction and joy cannot be bound up having my childhood dreams fulfilled. The waiting period has also taught me to pray more for my married sisters who long to be a mother -- a good and godly desire -- and yet to also pray that they, and I, would glorify Him in whatever He chooses to give us. Anything beyond salvation is a bonus. <3 Love to you and thanks for the reminder again to keep praying to the One who hears and answers prayers, and whatever the answer is, it is for our good and His glory! <br /><br />~ You know who :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
