lol!:laugh: It was all in good humor!



I was kinda hoping Mr. 2sparrows would use one of his good ole horse analogies. Some folks go to more trouble looking for a good horse than a good woman. They look at their teeth, check their Coggins papers and "what not" before they saddle up. But when it comes to women though, they giddy up with the first purty filly that tickles their fancy and end up getting throwed off somewhere along the trail and end up with a busted backside (and wallet!). Just saying.

I hadn't replied because 1) Its on the Guys side and I try to let the guys have the first say and 2) I wanted to see what the guys said.

To answer your questions: No. Yes.

I am not frustrated. I HAVE been frustrated, and perhaps I will be again at some point, but I am not now.

Speaking for myself, God is ALWAYS pruning and refining me. He has never stopped. Read John 15:1-2. We are pruned if we do, and pruned if we don't. If we do follow Christ and His word, or if we don't.

Even after marriage, I can be very sure that God will continue his pruning and refining of me.

My frustration is on meeting I thought was "the one" and turns out our level of commitment is different and marriage requires solid commitment. It is hard to find someone with the personality traits I can live with for life. Like many here stated, affection change, interest change, but respect for that one person should never change enough to end the relationship.Start all over again?...that is more frustrating! We are not getting younger. I think it is not right for a Christian gentleman to declare one as his pearl of great price but is not solidly committed. Being easier to meet a lot of people here give some the impression it is easy to meet someone to your liking with same level of commitment. The frustration is being put aside on "reserve' and the other one continuing his search, find the reality of on line dating, then ... It just shows the cheating attitude when already married. Anyway, the experience refined my patience and pruned my tendency to get carried away so easily with sweet talks and empty promises.

When what I want doesn't happen, it just doesn't because it is not yet God's perfect timing. That thought lift off my frustration.

Hi Mercymay,



I hear what your saying. Yes! That would be frustrating and heart breaking as

well. Matters of the heart can be difficult indeed!



Like you, I found comfort knowing the reason I had not met "the one" as yet (but

instead meeting toads and None were a prince in disguise) was because God was

still preparing us and our hearts for each other, and that God would bring us together

at the Perfect time...



I'm happy to say I'm so very glad I chose to wait on Gods time instead of mine as

He has truly brought the most precious godly Christian man into my life and I so

look forward to our life together.



Don't loose heart my sister. God placed the desire for a godly man as your husband with in

your heart, just trust Him as He will bring you both together at the most perfect time.



God's blessings upon you always,



saved3

Definitely God is at work. I'd be mighty afeared if he weren't! :) I've stayed a night in the frustrated camp, but I've learned it's a mark of selfishness. It comes when we are pushing for what we want in our own time rather than what God wants in His time. It shows up when we are only interested in finding "the one" and we see every failed attempt as a nuisance and a waste of time. If you're willing to build friendships, learn, and grow along the way, it can be an enjoyable and enriching process.

Yes, I do feel frustrated that I haven't met "the one" yet. Yes, I think it's probably because God doesn't think that I'm ready yet, or that He doesn't think "the one" is ready yet. And I'm ok with that...really, I am. I want my marriage to be completely in God's will, and I want for me and my husband to be ready for that marriage. Anything less than that could be disastrous.

BUT. No matter how much I know and believe that all this is true, it doesn't keep the sinful human in me from creeping out ever once in a while and making me stomp my little size 7 foot and cry out to God "Why? Why won't You go ahead and show me "the one" that You have for me? If there's a lesson I still need to learn, I sure do wish You would hurry up and teach it to me. I'm not getting any younger, you know." And every time I have those impatient and frustrated thoughts, I have to ask God for forgiveness.

Ijust wanto say to all of you on this that at it can be a little frustating.For me,it can be a little tough to accecept sometimes,but i can see clearly now that it's definately Gods' will for me to be single at this time.We ALL SHOULD THANK JESUS that we are free from diseases,unwanted pregnacys,and other ungodly sexual curses upon us!Of course,we sometimes push ourselves to people & even wiling to try anything to meet someone- including being on this site obviously!we try and try and no one don't even want to be your friend or say hello to you for that matter.Give thanks to God for he is worthy to be PRAISE!!!!!!
