This is for anyone trusting God for a life partner.
Four years ago when I lived in Valencia, I entered into a contract with God. I wrote down the things I wanted.
For some reason I fixated on the kind of wife I wanted. I went embarrassingly specific. I’m vain, so I asked for beauty, not regular beauty. Hollywood beauty.
A woman completely out of my league. I asked for character too, but I’m sure I spent three pages describing her features.
I told God: if You do this for me, I’ll wait. I’ll be celibate. I won’t go looking.
And I kept that contract. Until God “disappointed” me.
There was an opportunity I desperately wanted and didn’t get. Something broke in me. I thought, if He won’t do that for me, why would He do this? So I said forget it. I downloaded the dating apps. Went on dates. Met good people.
Even unfortunately broke some hearts, cos I didn’t believe God would deliver, so I tried to do His job for Him.
Then I met my wife at a sports law conference. Not on an app. Not on a date. In the most natural, unforced setting imaginable. And she was everything I wrote down. I am not exaggerating. Beyond what I described. Beyond what I imagined. Beyond my wildest prayers.
I told her, if I had known what God had in store for me, I would have waited. I actually regret not waiting. Not because the journey was wasted, but because I hurt people along the way trying to help God.
And the part that wrecks me every time I think about it is that the opportunity I didn’t get, the one that made me lose faith, is the exact reason I met her.
If that door had opened, I would never have been in that room. I would never have known she existed. The thing I thought was God failing me was God positioning me.
So if you’re waiting and it feels like silence, keep waiting. If something fell apart and you can’t make sense of it, keep trusting. He is not late. He is not confused. He is arranging things you cannot see.
He can do it. He will do it. And even when you try to help Him and fail woefully, His plan still wins. I am a witness.
Guys, this is a brilliant way of protesting idc 😆😆 the police getting rained on as they block every road while we stay at home warming our beds. Total shutdown and forced holiday executed by the the state 🤌🏼🤌🏼
I have so far spoken to 3 women. We are waiting for an ambulance for one of them to go to the hospital
All these cases are harrowing. goons would surround a motorbike and grab the woman off the bike.
Gang rape and rob them.
I'm so angry right now. We can't continue like this
