Eating a whole lot of candy
Lately, I have been eating a whole lot of candy. I can't just eat candy, because I have to make a big deal out of everything, you know, ascribe meaning and metaphor to my actions. It occurred to me while I gnawed on some nibs, that I am attempting to artificially sweeten my life. This has me grinning, the ridiculously obvious conclusion making me feel rather... simple.
I am a crazy mixed up sound woman
I am single. I am a single woman who really likes excellent company. I like to laugh and chat, and dig deep into the meaning of life, and who we are as humans, and where we fit into Gods design. I like to encourage and joke, and talk about the big and serious stuff: I like to listen and comment, and I like to speak and be heard and have my heart messages spoken back to me. It delights me to be me because I have abundant joy with a playful nature, and I like to share the good bad and ugly of life. I stay when the going gets tough... I am the calm in the storm and I am the whirlwind when everyone else is afraid to move for fear of doing or saying the wrong thing(s). I am laughing as I type because I am a walking talking shameless advertisement for what it looks and sounds like to suffer from over confidence with bouts of insecurity. I am a crazy mixed up sound human that has investigated me so that I can understand my inner workings and in turn, be discerning with others, since we are all kinda crazy mixed up and sound at the same time.
Candy is a poor substitute
I realized as I ate my last nib, that candy is a poor substitute for relationship with another human. Don't get me wrong, I have lots of amazing people in my life. I have been single for the past two years though... willingly, grievously, soul searchingly single. I needed this time, because my God told me, I am enough. I am the one that sees you in your all and all emptiness and fullness. You cannot have another until you know this, that I am your everything.
If God gave out Valentines
If God gave out Valentines, He would say on them, will you be mine, to the exclusion of all others? I want you to commit to me: and so I have. He let me know this recently: that I can have my next forever, my next mate for life, so long as He is the one to choose, the one to select for me. He is my heavenly Father and from Him, all good and perfect gifts are provided, including the man He has designated to be, my man.
We supplant our pain
This was fun to write, because it is the honest truth: the truth is, we supplant our pain, sadness, loneliness, covering it up with behaviours and activities as a form of distraction and artificial sweeteners when sorrow, sadness, or loneliness threaten to overtake us. When we are not quite sure if our hearts desires will be met, we sometimes run in circles and pretend we don't really want what we want, if you know what I mean... but God, He is the desire planter. He is the one that created us for relationship and He never had a warm body idea in mind: not just anyone will do! He made us to perfectly fit together, men and women: you with your God designed and designated mate.
Gods timing is perfect
As humans, we have a hard time waiting, and in the waiting, we have a hard time believing that what we long for will ever be, but alas, Gods timing is perfect. In fact, my man, he and I are magnetically being drawn to one another as I type; it is, only a matter of time.
God is holding the stop watch, and I trust, in Him. My hope is that you do too? That you don't precipitate, jump in for the sake of filling a void, making perhaps a mate mistake? Wait on God: He is enough, and when He gives you the person you are meant to be with, the two of you will celebrate Him, and each other, in unison.
May God richly bless you.
