Becoming appreciative...

Tonight I had the pleasure of sitting with some amazing women around a dining table sharing our dinner and lives together. Now if I wanted to throw the grass is greener card, I could. All of the women (minus possibly one) are either married, engaged, or in some fun dating relationships. I could get down on my situation, but I am choosing not to. The reason? Someday I am going to have an amazing story to tell...a story written by God to glorify Himself alone. It may say that I am still single, but have seen the provision and hand of God take care of me through many years or it could say that He brought an amazing man into my life who helped encourage me and showed me what God's love can look like in human flesh. Tonight, however, I focused on listening to their stories, because if the roles were reversed, they would be as excited for me as I am for them.

So to those of you (G, M, K, and L) who read this and were there last night, I am so happy for how God is glorifying Himself through the relationships you have right now. And I know that He is faithful! His love is unfailing...wow! Blown away by that love tonight and had such a refreshing time with these ladies.

As I got home that night, I was telling G about how fun it was to hang out with all the girls. I shared some of the stories I heard at the table with him and I also told him about how much respect I have for you, lady! I love your maturity, strength of character and, more importantly, your obedience to God and great faith, that He truly does have an amazing plan for your life.
