So I'm reading a book called "Remember the Roses" it's about waiting on God's best, marrying the man of your dreams. I haven't even gotten half way but I'm hectically challenged. The author Lynette Lewis talks about her journey leading to being married only at 40...yup that's right at the big 40. Now we had heard a sermon she gave relating to the same matter. In the sermon I assumed she like didn't date at all leading to dating only the man that she would marry. Okay maybe my thinking was a bit ambitious but I did not expect that she would have gone on 65 blind dates.
I was led to then question what waiting on God means. What does it mean vele? I know it's not passive mara I think it matters what we get busy doing while we waiting. I mean I know that God can take whatever route He wants in teaching lessons and refining our characters and stuff but 65 blind dates? no judgement, but that's just deep.
So the thing is how we do everyday should be led by God, we should at any given moment be busy doing the latest thing He's told us to do, so while we waiting we are busy with that. So maybe we can say waiting on God is doing what He's telling you to do and not moving based on anything else but the voice of God. So if we gonna say Lynette waited on God, we are saying that she heard God before every single date, telling her to go in and then heard God at the end of each one telling her to let go. Hectic!! My mind cant wrap itself around that possibility.
shoo...I'm still chewing on it hey.
Did she talk about her 65 dates in a positive light in the book? As in, making it seem like going on 65 dates was a necessary part of the wait? Or did she look at it as if it were taking matters into her own hands?
