Let me paint a picture for you....Are you....
Single?
Christian?
Waiting for the Mr. Right NOT Mr. Right Now?
Frustrated?
Annoyed?
Do you....
have high standards that will not be compromised?
wonder when the nuptials will take place?
imagine your wedding dress, flowers, white picket fence, children?
THEN THIS POST IS FOR YOU!
Have you ever thought "Come on God I am so much fun...and I am ALREADY 21!"
Or how about this "Come on God I am not nerdy but quite flirty and I am pushing 30!"
Or this "I NEED a man and Lordy Lordy, ...I am passing 40!"
Or "Come on it is about TIME...people say I am in my PRIME!"
Well I am sure that you have thought any number of these things...but lets talk about the actions.
SISTERS, I have collaborated a list of possible signs that you might be getting impatient....trust me...we have all done or considered some of the following. ENJOY *wink* (Just a note...thanks to the girls that have shared in these wonderful ideas!)
So here is my top 10 in no particular order that you might just a bit impatient! (tongue and cheek of course!)
You Might be getting impatient for a Christian Man if....
10. You spot a "not of this world" sticker on a car and you accelerate quickly to see if the person driving is a guy...and of course hot. Sure you ignore that fact that the last 50 times you did this it was a girl driving the car. It only takes one right ladies?!
9. You admire a cross tattoo or necklace and immediately assume the guy is a Christian. Sure you neglect to remember that Madonna wore a cross around her neck in her "like a Virgin" song, the fact that Kanye West thanks God every time he wins an award, and that many clothing logos have some variation of a cross. BUT maybe just maybe they are a Christian. (CLUE: if the only inclination that they might be a Christian is from their tattoo....give it up.)
8. You dream of the day when you will meet your husband. I mean you almost hope your car breaks down so that Prince Charming can change your tire, or you slip in a grocery store and your knight in shining armor extends his hand to help you up....come on girl WAKE UP!
7. You have actually written a letter to him, or considered it. NUFF SAID *wink*
6. You creep facebook for "legit" guys...and by "legit" I mean it says something about being a Christian and his music preferences at least mention 1 Christian band and one Christian book in his "likes."
5. You have ever considered that if you are dressed ugly one day, your story might just end up like Ruth. Working in the field and admired while you are sweaty, dirty and feeling gross. Not to mention being able to "lay at the feet of Boaz." Don't we all wish we could be THAT forward sometimes instead of just waiting, waiting, waiting, did I mention waiting ?!?!
4. You have ever thought it was good idea to dress up in your stilettes (stiletto heels) and cute outfit and walk in to C28 to buy something only if a guy is working. Whether you choose to buy those inexpensive bible mints or a "true love waits" ring, you are sending the message....Christian and Single! AND girl, you gotta know he is going to ask if you need prayer...and you kindly oblige and ask him to pray for your future husband. hehe
3. You have read and studied Captivating and Wild and Heart multiple times...and you think it is time to read and study it again!
2. You have written a list of qualities you want in a husband. But here is the problem....follow with me... your dating ad looks like this....SCW who is a PWWSTGCLBRDDJW Seeking SCM who is a PWWSTGCLBRDDJW
Don't get the jargon? Let me dissect it for you...
Single Christian Woman who is a Prayer Warrior, Worship Singing, Tithe Giving, Children Loving, Bible Reading, Devo Doing, Journal Writer....SEEKING Single Christian Man who is a Prayer Warrior, Worship Singing, Tithe Giving, Children Loving, Bible Reading, Devo Doing, Journal Writer.
See the problem here? Your are seeking yourself in MALE form....Gurl give it up....you cant reincarnate yourself in a man form!
1. The number one inclination that you might be desperately needing to find a husband is the following...you have ever considered "accidentally" showing up to a Single Men's Bible Study...you conveniently have baked cookies, and since you are already there, you might as well offer up your prayers and counseling services to any man that might need them. *wink*
Ok girls so there you have it....Can I get an Amen Amen Amen...not to be mistaken as a "hey men, hey men, hey men"
Girls, don't be sad when yet ANOTHER Christian man gets married....I know I know there really are not THAT many more fish in the sea...but he is there waiting and praying for you too.
Hope you enjoyed this non exhaustive list and it gave you a smile.
Good Night and Happy Waiting:)
