My dad and sister are back from Fresno today, having found an apartment. They got home safely late this morning, so there's answered prayer. I hope that it works out for her.
As I get older, I found myself wondering more and more about the woman that (I hope) God has in mind for me. I have wanted to have a girlfriend for a long time. I often wonder where she's at in her life. Do I know her? Have I even met her yet? Does she know The Lord? Will I have to go somewhere near or far to find her? I find these things taking up more of my thoughts.
Whatever I think or feel, I am honestly not ready for a relationship. I have never had a girlfriend, and for a long time, it was not a good idea for me to have had one. Before I was saved, I had too many bad attitudes and ideas for me to have ever been good for any woman. Even now,I have so much growing to do in my walk with The Lord that having a girlfriend seems like it would be a distraction. My dad tells me that God will lead me to her (and her to me) in His time, and that He will inevitably use her to cause me to grow, and vice versa.
I think The Lord is using these things to keep me in prayer, even more so than me fore. Heaven knows that my trust in God needs to grow, but God is faithful and is answering my prayers, if in a manner that He seems to be using me to learn patience.
