Lady in Waiting

So, I started this new book called 'Lady in Waiting' by Jackie Kendall and Debby Jones. Let me tell you, I have just got through the first chapter, and I am beginning to learn a lot. I have about 6 large note cards full of quotes from the book and about 6 new Bible verses that I just love but have never really thought about before.

I have always dreamed about the perfect man. My prince; my night in shining armor; my rescuer. What I never thought about before is that I was putting this 'desire' before my desire and relationship with God.

About a year ago, I was so desperate to find a husband. I mean, I am really close to 30 and I am still single. Not cool! I prayed one night for God's will in this area, and he began to speak to me the following morning. It was 9am to be exact. He told me to give Him a year, and if I am faithful to Him, He will bless me with my heart's desires (kinda like the verse Psalm 37:4). It has been a very rough year, but I am finally learning to trust God. And I will remain faithful to His calling.

My year is almost up, and I feel closer to God than I have ever felt, but I am still not nearly as close as I desire to be. I picked up this book and immediately knew I had to read it. I am a Lady in Waiting, so this is perfect for me. I can draw closer to God as my year draws to an end. It may take longer than that year for God to bring my earthly prince, but for now I want to learn to become God's best.
