So, I met this guy a couple of weeks ago that I really liked. When I say I met him, what I really mean is, I saw him and heard him speak. He was giving his testimony at a faith-based drug and alcohol recovery program that I was visiting w/my son. It was so encouraging to hear how God had changed his life and how he in turn was working to help others. I was really captivated by his words and then I noticed how good looking he was! He wasn't wearing a wedding ring and hadn't talked about being married and when we left I told my son that he might just be the one. My son said he was thinking the same thing!!! I found him on Facebook and sent him a friend request and note about how I enjoyed his testimony. (I have not heard back as of yet). I planned to call him up the following Monday just to ask if he was married or seeing anyone. I told a couple of friends my plan and they talked me out of it and advised me to calm down and pray about it. So I prayed a little, but I really needed to know if he is married or not. I didn't want to be praying about something maybe happening w/a guy who is not available. This next part is going to make me sound like a stalker...but I promise you, I'm not. I went back there today....to donate some items to their yard sale. As I was there looking around, I saw one of the guys from the program and we started talking so I asked some questions about my guy. According to my source(who may or may not be reliable), he is not married...nor seeing anyone. Now, I can pray about it with a clear conscience.
Even if he turns out not to be my guy, I feel like God was showing me that there are some good ones out there and that He hasn't forgotten about me. =)

Thank you for sharing! With God anything is possible for those who believe, and you have shown through your actions that you are a faithful believer. I know God has great blessings in store for you. You never know, he may be the one!
ReplyDeleteYes, I do believe ANYTHING is possible w/God! Thank you Sandra! =)
DeleteAs one of the friends who told you (politely and lovingly) to "slow your roll" and pray about it, remember that the Bible says to pray about everything! I get what you mean when you said you wanted to pray with a clean conscience however you can always pray for God to lead you in the right direction without hesitation. :) (Now, if I only could practice what I preach!)
ReplyDeleteThanks B. =)
