....Distractions

Oh ladies, those days where we find

ourselves drooling over that 

"one guy!" 

Yes, the guy that makes your heart skip a beat, the guy that let's hundreds of tiny butterflies fly happily in your stomach, the guy that makes you feel like a million dollars, the guy that smiles at you from across the room, the guy that makes you feel like a princess, the guy that holds the door,

& says "ladies first", 

the guy that is devoted to God in everything he does. 

While you just read that last part 

you totally thought of a guy in your life, didn't you?...

Ya, I'm not gunna lie, so did I.

Sometimes, Don't you wish You could just tell him your feelings, because it's just bubbling inside your heart,

like a kettle getting ready to blow it's top. 

 

But then here's the tricky part... 

You already know deep down 

in your heart that

 You are in a 'Season of waiting' 

for your Prince Charming, 

& you are totally committed to that &

Are willing to wait for that man You will

one day love as your husband. 

But then there are so many distractions, distractions, distractions, & then more distractions. 

I then am reminded of this verse in the Bible... 

"Consider it pure joy my {sisters}, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." 

(James 1:2-3) 

My heart pulling one way 

& reality the other. 

What do I do with myself in these situations when the emotions just wanna get the best of me?! 

Do I give into these so called 'distractions' for a little bit of self pleasure or Do I continue to take a stand & say you know what, 

this may be the hardest thing I will ever do. He may look like the perfect guy for me, he looks as if he was totally like,

made for me :) 

(You know what I'm sayin?) 

But ladies!! Did you ever think that this could very easily be an attack scheme from Satan trying to screw up your plans & commitments to this Season of waiting that you are in??

Just like Eve in the Garden. 

Satan tempted her & she gave in. 

Genesis 3:1-6 says: 

Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" 

And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’”

Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." 

So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, 

she took of its fruit and ate. 

She also gave to her husband 

with her, and he ate.

So are we going to follow in 

Eve's footsteps & give in?! 

Or are we going to take our own steps & take a stand in this 

crazy fast-paced world & say that

I am willing to wait no matter the pain,

no matter the cost, I will wait!!

I will NOT be overcome by the temptations of this world. 

I will not sell-out, just to get the 

next-to-best-guy, I am willing

to wait for the God-given best for me. 

Think about this though,

Do you ever doubt the goodness of God?

Do you ever have the fear tucked away,

 deep in your heart, that you will be in a 

'season of waiting' for the rest of your life?! 

In those low moments, when we question things like that, 

It is so very easy for Satan to twist with our minds

& fiddle with our trust in the Goodness of God. 

 

We then have to stand up.

Tell Satan to get lost, shake it off, grab a tea & say God, 

I know that you have put me in a 'season of waiting' for a purpose & I stand knowing that one day you will have that Prince that will be rightfully mine, because I have waited & trusted through those long Lonely nights. God I give you all the thoughts that may tempt my mind while I'm waiting.

 

 Take every part of my thought life.

God take my earthly emotions 

& that eager want to have a man at my side,

God you & you alone, 

are all I need :) 

Until next time,
