Alana;
Loved your post! Absolutely loved it:-) I laughed out loud a couple times too. I do believe you are good at writing!
I could relate to everything you stated. I am also a devout Christian woman; devoted to Jesus first and foremost. I always think there is no one like me and that I get 'weirder and weirder' as I mature in Christ and peel off the worldly 'skin' so to speak.
I have never thought meeting someone online was God's design for us; to me it seems to be forcing God's hand and timing..which is perfect. Also, it seems a bit weird to pick someone out by a formula of criteria. ie; blue eyes-Check, changes underwear daily-check (hee hee ha!), likes animals-check, has a job-check....get the picture. I have a post here under R Marie. It took me sooooo long to actually write it; but I felt if God intends for me to meet someone, someones or a community via this site...then so be it. If the person or community He has for me is here; then they will find me. I believe, at a man's core, they have a deep need to pursue. In my experience and studies; it never works when the woman does. If we want a man to lead; so much starts with him leading the pursuit. If I have learned one thing in my dating life; it is that a man WILL pursue when he wants to. Once he does; the dance has the beginning it needs to unfold into a beautiful thing.
I do believe that God will put the right person in our lives at the perfect time. And He IS the God of the universe; parted seas, defeated armies with trumpets, and breathed the world into existence. He could drop a man in your front yard when the timing is right. When we force it or try to control it; that is when bad relationships happen. We all believe in organic living on this site; well, organic relationships are just as important. They are slow, take time and build over time. Online and microwaving the natural 'process' of finding a soul mate/partner....is not going to yield us what we desire. To be known, loved, supported and to walk this life with someone that 'gets' us. For me; most importantly...that gets a life is no life at all without Jesus. And a compost toilet:-)
Blessings to you Alana; be patient, wait...God will bring you your heart's desire! The world screams, family screams, friends scream...do it yourself, chase it, find someone....but, I believe this to be really bad advise. Worldly.
Have a great evening; and if you write more, I will read it!
Sister in Christ,
