"Hi...My name is Tonya, and I am single. I have been single for 33 years and not too happy with it."
The CBISSA (Can't Believe I'm Still Single Anonymous) Group all reply in unison, "Hi Tonya!"

Haha... We can all take a moment and laugh at my brilliance. However, this is how I felt for so long. Like I was going to remain single for the rest of my life! Not that I chose to be single, but none of the right guys ever seemed interested in me. It felt hopeless! I felt like such a LOSER! I began to think there was something wrong with me. Do I have a disease I don't know about? Wait, is there broccoli in my teeth? Oh man, it's because I forgot the deodarant today, isn't it? Lol, whatever the reason may be, I could never really see past the 'Whoa is me!?' mentality. I always felt sorry for myself and thought that I was not good enough to find a good guy. Boy, was I wrong!

Ok, first off, I am still single. I wanted to clarify that before you think that this is going to be some sappy love story. We will save that for later... :) I was wrong because God has someone perfect for me, I just have to wait for the right moment to be introduced to him.

I have been reading the book 'Lady in Waiting' by Jackie Kendall and Debby Jones for the last week. In this book it basically talks about how God wants to give us the desires of our hearts, but it will be His timing. It also talks about how we need to have a realationship with Jesus first before He will bring our Prince to us. If we can't build the Jesus relationship, our earthly relationship is most likely going to suffer. They also talk about how if Jesus wants us married, He will orchestrate the encounter. We need to stop being worried whether or not Bob in accounting or Larry in produce thinks we are hot. And we definitely need to stop planning our weddings to Bubba. When we have the relationship with Jesus that He so desires, He will bring our Prince to us. It is going to be so unexpected, we may wish we had worn our depends that day!

Needless to say, I have been challenged to give it to God, and not worry about it. I need to stop wondering if that really cute football player over there may be the one. When I am ready, God will bring the right man along for me and I should instantly know! He will pursue me! I should not have to pursue him. I'll admit, I may think that football player is cute, but I am not going to worry whether or not he is going to be mine. If he is, well, THANK YOU LORD! :) lol

Man, I hope that helps some of you have some sort of peace. Just be reassured that God does have a plan for each and every one of us. He has written our story and it is up to us to allow Him to play it out. Are you willing to surrender it over to Him? I sure am! I am ready to see what He has planned for me!

Well, I must say, tata for now my beautiful followers! And be blessed :)
