As I recognize that this is completely out of the blue and for most people it seems completely outrageous and wild, God is showing me that first of all, He knows far better then I in regards to my life and what I need. Also that He moves in completely unexpected ways that often don't make sense in our human minds. Especially in the way the mindset of American culture is and how things are done.
Of course there has been much prayer involved and seeking God and His heart concerning decisions that have been made and it has become clear that this is His heart for me.
As you all may or may not know, my whole life has been a struggle to find purpose and worth. I searched for it in unhealthy relationships that only left me feeling more worthless.
The ironic thing in all of this is that God had brought me to a place of complete fulfillment in Him and I was content with being single and just being His bride. As it has turned out, God was preparing me for something more.
I am humbled and overwhelmed at the deep love that God has for me and the truth that is written in His word:
Romans 8:32 - He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all - how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?
This verse was actually a promise God gave to me months ago when I questioned whether or not I was called to singleness. God spoke to me with that verse, declaring that He would one day bless me with the gift of husband.
As if God hasn't already poured out blessings upon His daughter, He has still chosen to give me more.
There is much more I would like to say about this and I will soon enough but I wanted you all to be updated because I know I have expressed what God has taught me about being fulfilled in Him alone and I am still fulfilled in Him alone. He has just chosen to use a wonderful, amazing, loving man of God to help me through the process of making me more holy in His sight. This is what excites me most, becoming more Christlike.
I ask for your blessings my friends and family and please pray for us as we embark on this very unexpected journey. And please praise God for this.
