Hi Liz. Listen to God and trust that His way is indeed the best way for your complete fulfillment and abundant blessings! Your warning is correct. Stand strong sister. I wanted to get married at age 5 but God’s best didn’t come into my life until I was 40. I HATED waiting. It totally sucked at times. I almost refused to wait on God many times, but in my heart I knew. Waiting was a big blessing. I have a wonderful husband and we have 2 beautiful, happy, smart and gifted children – a boy and a girl…my heart’s desire. We have a beautiful home in a beautiful community and I’m very close to my family. He loves my family and they love him- we get to do many fun things together and we help each other. He is SO good to my parents. He is a real blessing to them and to me. Our relationship isn’t perfect or always dreamy, but it’s stable and secure. We keep learning how to contribute to our marriage and serve each other. God is able to do EXCEEDINGLY MORE than we ask, think or can even imagine. Allow Him to work on developing your character and preparing you to be a most excellent wife. You will enjoy being loved and cherished. God knows what You need and provides. Trust Him. You lack NO good thing. Believe it! Enjoy your time of being single. I heard that and hated it at times, but it makes a lot of sense now. Then I had no responsibility for anyone but myself. I could come and go as I pleased- life was easy, fun and care free when I didn’t focus on what I didn’t have. Believe in what’s coming Liz. Be excited about it! Our Father knows how to give the BEST gifts!! A godly husband is a gift when the time is right. I look back and regret the time I wasted, the grief I put myself and others through…I was a fool, but God was still faithful. He didn’t give up on me and will never give up on you. When you’re holding onto people and relationships that weren’t meant to be, you more than likely delay the ones that are. Stop it. That’s my word of wisdom to the wise. It was a hard thing for me to learn. Father, thank You for Liz and her request. Let her rest in You and place all her hope in You knowing and giving her exactly what she needs and what will truly satisfy her. Let her delight herself in You and wait with great expectation for You to keep Your Word and give her the desires of her heart. Let her not dwell on them, but instead worship You and be about Your business. The time will go by quickly and before she knows it, she’ll see Your plans for her life unfold. I’m excited for her because I know how good You are and I know that Liz is in a good place since confessing this struggle. Let her give the struggle to You and take hold of Your power at work in her. You are her strength. You are her rock. You are her sure foundation. You are all she needs- everything else is icing on the cake! Thank You Jesus! Bless Liz. Let her be honest with this person she is involved with. Let her bless him on his way and stand firm on Your Word. She is strong and powerful in You. She will be a good example to him and others. You know how just this past week I talked with a friend about feeling the need to write a book to help single women or young girls in regards to marriage. Give me courage to write if that’s what You would have me to do. Remove fear. Let me trust You and believe that You put things on my heart for a reason. Let me walk by faith. Bless Liz and her husband. Encourage her to pray for her husband. Let her tell You the things she wants him to know and let him do the same. That is so awesome!! I love it! So fun! So incredible! Yes, nothing is impossible with You!! Thank You Jesus for interceding for us. I pray all this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Amen Janel. Praying !
