The Journey Begins-Prelude Pt. 3

My process wasn’t easy but I dived into kingdom service, dedicating my single life to God. I acted in crazy faith declaring, fasting, and praying. My faith increased as the months and years went by, I started seeking God for God. Though single and no sign of my Joshua, I told God that I am doing all I can now to the fullest because when I am married my time and abilities will be shortened for full-time service. I acted in faith by fixing myself in an approachable manner for my future husband, I observed how to treat a husband, and I observed and took notes of the key ingredients to a successful marriage. I made myself ready. I smiled at the many love stories of friends unfolding around me and did all I could to ensure I was genuine in the prayers, advice, and support for them. I made myself ready.

I made myself ready by enjoying my single life, going out on occasional girls night out events, enjoying time with my friends, completed university for stronger support in life, made the best of every opportunity to travel, every opportunity to build my resume, working on various ministries in the church, developing a charity drive to help the poor and needy, counseling and advising those in need, working to help youths to overcome the very same hurdles I failed, being active as a praise and worship leader, working to develop the spiritual wellbeing of hundreds of youths and building my spiritual life. I made myself ready.

From time to time I was still a bit confused because many times I was so positive that God was pointing me in a direction, and then I would trip. But I got back up still pressing towards my mark. And many times when I feel like my fairy tale dream is just a fairy tale; I am reminded by God to “Wait”. For all things work together for good to them that loves the Lord and are called to His purpose.
