dating

Ok, so here's my point over these past few weeks: You can’t make God do for you what He did for somebody else and especially not in the way that He did it before.

Look at Moses and the whole rock thing. Hit the rock when you’re told to, and voila, we have water (Exodus 17:1-7). Hit it just because that’s what worked last time, and voila, you’re out of the Promised Land (Numbers 20:1-13).

Father, I just want you to know that this is it. I've officially given up the search for a man. From now on, I’m done with the whole thing, and I’ll just live for you. Come what may.

There, I’d said the magic words. I cracked my eyes open to see if a man had now dropped out of the sky. Nope. I went about my weeks looking high and low for that man that God was now going to put in my life because I was done with the dating thing. Nada.

But it worked for that other girl! She told me so.
