I think that sometimes we get caught up in this whole idea of finding our prince, and living together in love and being in this wonderful godly relationship that we forget that it will get hard. There will be times when life will happen, and the storms of life will threaten that godly relationship…
Light shines on the godly, and joy on those whose hearts are right - Psalm 97:11
I’ve done this once before. Been in a relationship that I thought would last forever. But God’s plan prevails over all, and He is revealing to me once again that the kind of relationship I should be in, I need to be in, is not the one I am currently submersed in. The focus of the relationship is not where it should be. The more I think I about it, the more I hear God directing me to slowly move on, and to do so with a heart full of gladness, despite the pain I am currently facing. But having done this once before, I am stronger this time around. I have dealt with the pain and I know what it feels like in the beginning, and I know what it feels like when the pain goes away and all that is left is a continual growth in my devotion to the Lord. I’ve faced it and it’s true, God does not give us trials that we cannot handle. He is merciful and He will protect us and show us the way, if only we seek him unconditionally. My last relationship dealt with a nonbeliever who I went out with for a little over two years. I called it off once I was saved and realized that I could not continue in the sin that I was placed in. After some time, I prayed that God would send a Godly man into my life, one that would lead me as well as others and act as a servant, humble and just in his ways. After some time, God answered my prayers, or so I thought. The man that he sent me looked to be spiritual on the surface, but deep down it was all superficial. And we are both young, we both have so much to learn, and I am praying that maybe, just maybe, God softens his heart, to see that the trespasses he has committed against God and against others is serious, damaging, and will ultimately have to be paid for one day as he stands before God. I am praying for his soul, because I really do care about him and love him, and it’s hard because no matter how much I want to be with him, I know that that is not God’s desire or will for my life right now. I don’t want to abandon him and leave him, but at the same time, I know God has great things in store for me, and maybe, just maybe, one day this man that he lead me to once before will turn out to be the person I can serve God with faithfully. If you are reading this, please pray for him, and for me, I suppose, as we sure could use all the prayers and guidance that God has to give.
Daughter of Christ, a man will not define you, your friends will not define you, your job will not define you, your success will not define you, your past will not define you, the world’s expectations of you will not define you - leave that job to God.
The guy who loves Jesus will worship with you. He’ll pray for you, he’ll pray with you. He will lead you with strong hands, stand up when you can’t… but remind you that only God can satisfy.

hi, i'm jennifer. i plan spontaneous adventures and these are the things i think about.i live for nice weather days, good company, ice cream cones and random adventuring. i get high from good music, long runs and driving with the roof down. i get anxious if i'm in the same place for more than a month or so. i try to be a good person and i'm a big fan of peace. i think every single person has something to offer the world and for this reason think we should all be a little more open to people who are different than us. i believe we are meant to experience everything we can in life and don't like wasting time. however, there's definitely something to be said for wasting hours with the people you love. i think passion is awesome and love listening to people talk about what makes them tick. i am who i am and working on who i want to be.
