Waiting on the Lord Gods plan

Waiting on the Lord is not always easy, but oh so worth it. I knew my husband 4 years before we got married. It was not in Gods timing to marry right away both of us needed jobs and one of us needed benefits and it was a time of testing and trial for us.
Our parents and pastor had asked us to wait until things were a little more settled, plus there were other factors that we could not "sweep under the rug" like our finanacial needs and other needs that we had.

By Gods grace we were able to be sustained and we did not have relations until we were married. We will be married 15 years this fall. And we will know eachother 19 years in September. I was 24 years old and Shawn was 30 two months later he turned 31 when we married.

The waiting taught me a lot even though at times I was resentful. I treasure each day I have with Shawn because it took a long time for God to unite us and We desire not only to have romantic love which is wonderful but to bless and help and encourage and edify those around us.

Are you going through a tough time of waiting God will sustain you and through the trials make you mature, complete, not lacking anything. see James 1:4

I also learned the best things in life are worth waiting for and nothing worth having ever comes easy or cheap.

Be encouraged and God bless you
