This is my story:
I have finally gotten to the point in my life where I have accepted myself for who I am. It took years for me to be able to express self love for just being me. I am even able to say that I am just as beautiful on the outside as I am on the inside.
The reason for my confidence is what is inside of me. The Spirit of Jesus Christ has taught me the true meaning of love. All of my life He has loved me and accepted me unconditionally. It is because of Jesus Christ that I am able to express self love and love for others.
It is my relationship with God that has led me to thinking about how God keeps His promises. I enjoy quiet times alone with God where I can communicate my thoughts and feelings. I ask questions; express my fears, my doubts, anger, frustration, and guilt.
Yes sometimes I hear a response from God's Holy Spirit immediately while other times it seems like there is no response. I must admit the joy that I feel when I do hear that soft yet powerful voice is beyond words.
My spirit is so grateful that all I can do is praise Him and give Him all the thankfulness that He is so worthy of. God is my Father and I am His child all that I desire to do is to please Him and to take His hand so that He may lead me.
The question that has been at the top of my list of questions for God not answered yet relates to marriage and finding my soul mate.
I am concerned about this because I am now 32 and I am not getting any younger and I would like to start a family. I have thought about my past relationships with men and have wondered what if I chose to marry one of them.
Would I have been happy?
I know most of them are great men that loved me and would have provided all of my needs. But I was not in love with any of them.
Now fear of being alone for the rest of my life without ever experiencing what it is like to be a mother has me thinking the worse. Nonetheless my heart and soul will not let me settle for just any man.
My faith in God has led me to believe that God has already chosen my soul mate. Maybe God wants me to take control and to start to go out and meet new people. I have received and accepted the love of Jesus Christ and now He is preparing me to receive the love of a husband.
I know that whoever my husband to be is will be the perfect match for me because of who chose him for me. I will continue to pray for strength so that I can do the things that God wants me to do. I will meditate on the promises I have already received and the blessings that will come later.
Please do not hesitate to respond to me and share your thoughts about my story. Any helpful feedback will be greatly appreciated. Also feel free to share your own stories about finding your soul mate.

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog through a group on Facebook named "Christian girls are more beautiful because..."
I think your article is really insightful and it addresses the concerns I'm sure all dedicated Christian women have- finding their future spouse and our "soul-mate".
I have yet to find my future spouse as I am 18 and in my first year of university but this is an aspect of my life that I have been dwelling on. Sometimes I fear that I will never find that one person who I can spend the rest of my life with. It is a fear that many women share and just wanted to say that you're not alone in our quest for our knight in shining amours! :)
you are still young and my personal belief is that when God guides us or gives us blessings, He gives us more than we can ever imagine or hope for! I am sure that the perfect man for you exists somewhere in the world, it is a matter of time (as cliched as this sounds!) patience bears fruit and one thing I have been told by others in the church is to pray for your future spouse. my own pastor prayed for 16 years before God sent him his wife! It has been written in the Bible that if we ask we shall receive and don't settle for second best. As a Godly woman, you deserve the absolute best in a husband and I sincerely you will meet him one day :)
God bless you!

God has someone awesome for you and will bring that person in his own time and way. You will feel more alone if you marry the wrong person. God makes all things beautiful in his own time.
