Well, I wanted to post again on some things that the Lord showed me yesterday during church. I don't know why but it seems like all I've been posting on is for singles.
Anyway, yesterday Mr. Robinson gave a challenge in the evening and it didn't really have anything to do with being single but the Lord showed me something.
We always love the verse in Philippians 4:7 about "the peace of God" and we love when we have that peace. But he read the verse before to show how we can have that peace all the time.
"Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall
keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
Phil. 4:6-7
The verse before starts out "Be careful for nothing;" basically don't worry about it, don't be anxious. Take it all to the Lord in prayer and be thankful at this time of your life. Yes, thankful that you are single. Mr. Tessin(Missionary to the Philippines) mentioned in singles Sunday School that if you aren't content and thankful now, being single, you won't ever be content and thankful being married. I thought it was so neat that the Lord showed me these verses later that night. So be thankful and content now in your single state. Then you get that wonderful, peace which passeth all understanding. I don't know, I thought it was neat how the Lord worked on this in my life while in Germany and now He is reminding me over and over about what He has taught me.

It is hard to remember that, but how important it is that we hold on to the peace of God, and be truly thankful to Him for putting us in the "single" situation!
It can be hard at times that we don't look for the right person. Believe me I have been there and done that twice, and both times ended up in heart ache, not just for me, but for the other party. I then realized, that it is not my job to be looking, that is God's responsibility, I just need to serve him, and keep my mind off that matter and let God do the work. THAT IS VERY HARD TO DO!!! but we must trust God.
