ADB said:I don't think God will show everyone their soulmate in the same way, but for me this is the way it happened.
In 1996 I had a dream that I was walking in Kings Island amusement park in Ohio and I was the happiest I had ever been in my life. I had a tall man next to me and we were walking hand in hand. I couldn?t see his face because it was blurry. It felt perfect unlike anything I had ever felt before. I felt complete. When I woke I still had that same feeling and I believed God had sent me that dream/vision. So I knew my soulmate was out their waiting for me, and I was going to find him, but little did I know he was not for me to find but, for God to send him to me when I was ready.
On New Years Eve of 1998 I made my New Years resolution to the Lord that I was going to stop trying to find the right man for myself and let him find the right man for me. I told him I didn't know what I wanted and that he was the only one who would know what I really needed and wanted in a man.
2 weeks later I was at work (I use to work in the drive threw at McDonalds) and this guy pulled up. It was strange, it felt like I knew him. We just starred at each other. He was starring at me like I was unreal. Finally I took the money for his order and he asked me how old I was and if he could have my number. I gave him my pager number. The next day I received a page, I never called it back. I received a page from the same number for 5 days straight. I didn't recognize the number, but I knew it was him. The human realistic part of myself would keep thinking it might not be him. You see I use to give out my pager number to guys all the time. It was an easy way to get them to go away without being mean, but when they paged me I would never call them back. I believe the Lord was trying to let me know that it was him and not any of those other guys. I remember sitting up in bed contemplating if I was going to call back the number. At this time it was 6 days ago that he had last paged me, then all of a sudden I got this really powerful feeling that it was in fact him and if I didn't call the number back he was not going to page me anymore. So I went ahead and called and he picked it up on the first ring. He said he knew I had to call back, he knew I felt the same thing he had. we talked for 8 hours straight and had almost everything in common.
He later told me that he was driving to blockbuster and he happened to see me in the McDonalds drive threw window he said I was glowing. He said it was this really bright white light all around me, and I was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. He said he then immediately turned up in the McDonalds drive threw, and that's why he was starring at me like that.
In 2000 we got married and guess what...........Our honeymoon was at Kings Island amusement park and I was extremely happy like in the dream I had 4 years ago. I didn't remember the dream until after the honeymoon and that's when I told him about it.
Yes Lord! you've "refreshed" my faith through your testimony.
. In fact, I only called him on occassion when I wanted something or when things were really screwed up. To be honest with you, I don't really feel like I was ever married. Especially since I know so much more about what it takes to maintain a loving Christ centered relationship.
Anyway, among the many things God has lovingly shown me is what Moonglowdiva said. You can meet the right person at the wrong time and things still be a train wreck. For me personally, I had to realize that even if God had sent me an absolutely outstanding godly man, I would not have been ready 
. I had a lot of selfishness, finances messed up, spiritually shallow, issues with lust, etc.
If we pray and want God to send us a great man shouldn't that man have a right to expect greatness from us too? None of us will ever be perfect but you get the picture... I suspect many of us have lots of things we need to let God fix before we walk down the aisle. If the shoe doesn't fit you ok but I had stuff broken on the inside and didn't even know it. I'm just saying all of this to say ladies keep hanging in there. If some of you meet your husband at 35+ and you're happily married who will look back and say "I'm extremely happy but I wish I could've met you earlier. God you messed me over in the timing of this relationship. God I think I know better than you what I needed and when I needed it." If that's your mindset you have other serious issues. Trust God. Trust him period. Trust him with your heart, relationship, everything. Knowing that he really loves you and would never mistreat you. Sometimes it is not easy. Sometimes you feel so lonely but our feelings have nothing to do with what God is doing/ planning for us. Don't allow your emotions to lead you. Be Christ lead. I heard Joyce Meyer say once she was believing God for a new car but had a garage full of junk and consequently didn't have room in the garage for any cars period. God spoke to her and asked her where would she put the car if he gave it to her tomorrow? Our lives are sometimes this way (ouch and amen)
. If God gave us a man tonight we would run him off by next weekend with all of the stuff we have a chance to address and fix right now at this stage of life. Did you know marriage will magnify all of a person's weaknesses and then you get to choose how to go forward after that? Has God answered your prayers to make yourselves ready for marriage? Has he said to you you are ready or have you and your emotions determined you're ready? Let God be God. God said "Thou shall have no other gods before me." Do not bow and worship at the alters of emotions, statistics, biological clocks, or any other gods.
