The system went down on my first attempt to post this...I'm so sorry.

Don't give up on your future husbands. Here's the word...

Hebrews 10:37

For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

Isn't God wonderful... God bless you, angels...I've been praying for your marriages...;)
 
I'm also going to be praying this year for a lot of the single sisters to find the husbands God intended for them. :)

Pebs, my original post, "Single Ladies, Come Here... Now" had something weird happen to it. It didn't come all the way through as a post. I lost my connection when trying to post it....;) Sorry if it confused anyone. When it opened it was 'blank.'

But my heart isn't blank...:D

Love you....
 
Wow... I receive this word.... The enemy really tried to hit me this week with fear that I was going to die an old, lonely virgin. :lachen: I remembered what my pastor's wife told me once: whatever the devil says the opposite is true.... God's word cannot lie. His Word is true and His promises are yea and amen. I mean seriously.... God gave me the desire for marriage. I didn't give this desire to myself. Marriage is honorable. Therefore this desire is also honorable and within His general will and His specific will for my life.

You have been my 'prayer' focus for a long, long time. Whenever I ask the Lord for a word on marriage and I post, I always have you (among others) at the very top of my heart.

Rehab... the Lord has heard your heart. Just believe it and prepare for your blessings to arrive.

Note: You are among the Virgins in whom God is well-pleased. ;)
 
I hope I'm not double-posting this, my computer is acting funny! Thanks Shimmie for the scripture, I really needed to read that :)

I'm looking at your siggy which says, "...Ain't I a woman?" Of course the answer is yes. Are you getting married? I truly believe God says yes.

I've had it with the broken hearts that I see hurting in this forum. I always ask the Holy Spirit for something to keep everyone encouraged. Each of you are precious in the sight and in the heart of God; He hears your hearts and He is not going to let you down.
 
I thank you and receive your prayer! It is so wonderful for you to consider us and to pray God's blessings upon us. My highest goal moving forward is for the loving guideance of the Holy Spirit in all my affairs, and especially relationships, all relationships.

Thank you for this faithful prayer.

Thank you pebbles, please remember me when you pray, your prayers seem to be really powerful. i really want a husband...a good one.
 
Ladies, buy a 'Journal" for writing the prayers the Lord gives you.

This time of the year is best for they are on sale almost everywhere and they come in such beautiful styles and sizes. My journals are covered in velvet. (But of course...I'm a 'girly girl' ;) ).

But go and get a couple of them and then write as the Lord leads you in prayer. You'll have something special to share with your husbands later. He'll love it and you all the more for believing in him, before you even met him.
 
Shimmie,

This is wonderfully sweet!

Ladies, I tell ya, When I let Pebbles know that I was getting married, she was like "I knew already because I'd been praying for many of my single sisters in this area... " (not her exact words but something like that) So it's a really AWESOME thing to have both of these ladies petitioning God like this for you! I also pray that He would fulfill your desires in this area.

I believe that God revealed something to me a few years ago. I wondered why SO many desirable and God-loving women had to endure the pain of waiting and uncertainty when it came to marriage. It just seemed like so many. Even I remember a time like this for me. I asked why. I believe that the Lord revealed this to me:

The divorce rate is too high, even among Christians. It has gotten way out of hand. Waiting and enduring for something makes us appreciate and cherish it to a higher degree. If we stand against becoming desperate in our waiting and don't jump to marry the first thing with legs then we will marry the right one for us ,and we are far less likely to take it for granted. And when you argue with him, you will tell yourself "I'm so happy to have a husband to argue with!" :lol: You will say to yourself "I'd rather be sitting here disagreeing with him than sitting and wondering, when? if? who? like I used to."

And best of all, when your season of matrimony finally does come around, you will understand why you were not truly ready to be married back in 200? or 199?. You will appreciate God for loving you enough to put you through a waiting season to become the kind of wife that is "always a fountain of blessing to her husband." (paraphrase from Proverbs) You will see that He loved you so much that He took time to build you up so that you don't "tear down your marriage with your own hands." (paraphrase from Proverbs)

You probably can't tell now, but He is making you into an excellent wife--one who is capable of having a lasting, loving, healthy, wholesome marriage rather than just a marriage.

Bless your hearts--all of you, married and those who will be in due season ... :kiss:
 
Thanks again! I'm rushing off to the store now to go get me another journal. When I was alot younger I used to keep them and as a matter of fact I still have them. I'd like to read through some of them to see what I had been writing since I was a young girl. Its time to go through the boxes and besides that I need to get ready to pack everything up because, come April 30th I'll be returning to live with my parents. I don't really want to move but, financially it will help me get my car paid off and out of debt. My prayers are at this time to remove the debt I'll work on the man later...but, its more like I need to write down what type that I'd like to attract and then God will send him my way.
 
Our God speaks in so many different ways and he has spoken to me this morning thru this post. For the entire year of 2006 I have been longing for a good husband. I want a healing for my soul and life. I have been thru alot since my mother passing and I just want a new start in life. BUUTTT....when I pray for a new life it seems like the devil comes in and tells me my life is fine because I will always be alone. I don't want to be alone and I really long to have a good man by my side. I haven't been in a healthy relationship since the birth of my daughter and she turns 8 in Feb. To be honest I don't know what it is like to be in a good relationship. The men in my life never treated me right and sometimes I wonder what have I done to deserve this????

I will be praying for the ladies here on LHCF and I ask for you to pray for me.
 
Thanks Shimmie. After our New Year's Eve service last night, I realized that I truly desire to be married, but I am committed to waiting on God. It is my prayer that God will prepare our hearts and mind to recieve our blessing and for discernment to see through the counterfits.
 
Supergirl:
That was one of the most powerful and true posts that I have ever read! I have realized for some time now that God is "preparing" me to be a wife! I have so much faith and hope in Him, I almost feel ready to explode! Last night at church, I laid on my face and talked to God about my desires for this year and NOTHING is discouraging me from reaching my goals! I know that I will have the man that God has created for me! When he comes, I will be ready to receive him.

THANK YOU LADIES FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT!
:rosebud:

This is beautiful Supergirl. Thank you so much for sharing this. It blesses me far more than you know. For I can see the enormous changes in me today in comparison to the perspectives on being a wife that I had 5 years ago.

God bless you and your marriage and the marriages of the ladies on this forum. In Jesus' name...Amen.
 
Thanks, Shimmie and Peebles! One of my friends sent me a picture of a dude and was like WhATCHA THINK! I was like I think he is old. Anyway, I guess she got mad when I told her that Although it would be nice to have a significant other, but I am in no hurry. She was like well, I won't send anymore and good luck. I was like no luck needed it will come when it comes. My strategy is to wait and be patient. It will come when the time is right. God knows my heart and my desires. It's been a year since I departed from my abusive ex of five years. My, my, my I never thought it would feel so good to let go! So, over the year I know God has been preparing me...

We give God all the praise and the Glory. Isn't He a wonderful father to us? the counterfiets have lost the trail to your heart. Only Mr. Right will be able to obtain the key which will release your love for him. ;)

Two notes here: First, you are too true and too funny....'he looks old'...This was the first thing I saw and I just broke out laughing.

Second, I am so happy that you were able to move away from the abusive relationship. That's no good for anyone. You are wise to wait on the Lord. This gives you time to heal and to be blessed when you feel you are ready. God bless you, precious one. ;)
 
To all of you beautiful ladies... (and Nella and Nastasha 2005, I'm acknowledging your posts ;) All of those who've read this thread....all of your Dreams are not so far off that they cannot be obtained. This is the year to pray them down and into our lives...Amen? Amen... ;)

Thank you Shimmie for starting this thread. It is definately timely for me. Last year for me was tough because I have been wanting a marraige and child for a couple of years, and every 'relationship' that I have had during that time has crumbled. One right after the next. I have always had discernment and I pay close attention to that, keeping me away from unneccessary mess, but it has also kept me alone. I cant count how many times I have cried over the past year at what I considered to be my 'failures'. The funny thing is, I NEVER wanted to be married before. It was something that was placed on my heart. Certainly I have never felt alone. That was a hard feeling to reconcile and a deep hole that I HAD to dig myself out of...

I know that my mate is being molded as I am and will come on God's time, but I have to be honest and say that it has been difficult. I can so relate to the other poster who was afraid that she would die as an old maid. Thank you so much for the prayers, and I will continue my prayers as well.

Wow! Praise God for giving you this revelation. I never thought of that and yet it makes so much sense.

But I love what you said, "he failed yet again.' The devil is exactly that, 'failure' and he will never be anything above that. he is truly 'under' our feet.

Praise God forever and ever. He has made our enemies His footstool and ours as well.

Ummmmmm, is that a loud sound of wedding bells I hear coming from all over the LHCF regions? ;)

God bless you Amara11... {{{{ Loving hugs to you }}}} ;)
