Live For What You Account For (Or Living & Loving My Way)

Hey everyone!

I hope you are all having a wonderful day today because I know I am!

I understand that it is International Women's Day today, so for every woman that is in my life right now; heart you! ;-)

For all you Bible-believing ladies, you are my sisters in the faith, you are my inspiration for all that you do, so stay awesome and don't ever, ever change...

Convicted by Convictions

Right, that's out of the way, I want to talk a little bit about a message I watched this morning, so have a watch and join me on the flipside: -

Ready? Let's go!

Being convicted of something is a lot stronger than it might appear because whilst a preference is something that you would prefer to do/have/wait for, a conviction is something that will not budge no matter what is thrown against it in this life.

Naturally, because I spend so much time talking about my crush, you would wonder what my convictions are on that particular subject and whilst lesser people would shy away from it, I am willing to address it head on: -

• Whichever Bible-believing young lady that I date is my sister in the faith way before someone I want to be my girlfriend;
• When I date, I date with an aim to get married one day, not to screw around with emotions; and
• God has my future spouse already chosen for me, I've just got to wait for her with purity in hand

You see, I stand on no other than the Word of God for my desire to break my duck of relationships.

You have to realise, though, that I've brought this on myself for, in never having a relationship before, God asked me a question when He told me about my future spouse. When I answered that question, little did I know but it would set me on the road to where I am today.

I know you are going to be wondering what that question was but that's, with all due respect, none of your damn business because it's between me and Him and will form my testimony when I tell her how I've waited for her!

It's my duty, surely, to lead her closer to Christ than to myself for in keeping her pointed towards God, I can trust Him to take care of her than I ever could myself!

The same goes for me.

I'm not in this for what I can get out of this, I am in this looking for what God can do through me!

Final Thought

I could spend hours, and I already have, writing about what I've learned as a singleton, when the reality is that God knew I would travel down this road, be rejected enough that I would: -

• swear off online dating for good; and
• keep myself pure for the day that she says yes to me

You see, it makes no difference to me if you think I'm old fashioned for doing that, but I'm that old fashioned apparently that I won't ask a girl for her number, instead I'll wait for her to give it to me.

I'll wait.

I. Will. Wait.

Shock, drop & awe!
