I stop. Why? The answer hit me tonight while writing, and its effect on my outlook was nothing less than rejuvenating.
Why would a loving Father give his daughter a gift her heart doesn’t truly desire?
The month of September alone has proven to me that God is all-knowing of the desires of my heart, and He won’t relent until those hopes are fulfilled — and then some. As of late, my heart has been asking to be filled with adventure (hello, New York City in 22 days!), success in school (I’m doing well,thankfully!), opportunities to build a foundation for my career (three writing jobs in one month, goodness!), confidence (I sometimes prance around campus like Beyonce…only kidding), and to draw closer to God (I am in love with my weekly Bible study, and I’m going to Passion in January!). Not one longing or wish has gone unanswered this month.
Having a guy in my life isn’t the number one priority for the first time in forever. As mortifying as it is for me to admit that, it is the truth, and I’m certain that many women have found themselves in that position one time or another in their lives. So I will be patient. When the day comes that “boyfriend” becomes a healthy component of my prayers, I will know, and God will know as well.
