"Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalms 37: 3 - 4
This has become my life verse lately. (And my answer when someone asks me about dating!) There was a post a few months ago over at Kelly's Korner where she mentioned this verse and wrote a post to all of her single blog readers. Now, I am sure she was not thinking specifically of me when she wrote that post, however, I felt as if she were sitting across from me, looking me in my eyes, and telling me to be patient. Dwell in the land. Trust in the Lord. My mother read it before I did and sent me a message via facebook telling me I HAD to read it! It was that good of a post!
Anyways, I am learning how to dwell in the land. I am learning to be happy with what I have and thankful for what I don't. I am at peace with the fact that I am not married and do not have children and am almost 30 years old. My time will come. And if it does not, then I am OK with that too. God has huge plans for me. Whether it be sitting in a cube at an office the rest of my life or getting to be the stay at home soccer mom to precious children I will be okay with what I am given.
Dwelling in the land has its promises too... read on to verse 4 and God promises us to give us the desires of our hearts and I am holding steadfast to that. God never lets us down. Things may not happen the way we want them to, but He knows whats best for us and directs us the way we should go.
So, if you ask me if I am seeing anyone, or if there is a special someone and I snap back with " I AM DWELLING IN THE LAND!" Please do not be offended, it just may be that I am being a little impatient with God at that moment and am reminding myself (and not telling you) that I am dwelling in the land of God and am OK with it!
