Not to mention that we left on October 22. My one year anniversary of singleness. I told you that I would share a bit of what happened this week, so I'm going to! I am going to write down exactly how I did in my journal so you can get a bit of insight on my week.

Hallelujah, the Victory.
"Walls Fall Down" Bible App Plan.
'The Perfect Number'
....God told the Israelites to walk around the walls of Jericho for seven days led by seven priests. On the seventh day, they were to march around the walls seven times. God promised that at the end of their seventh circuit around Jericho on the seventh day, the walls would collapse. The Israelites believed in the Lord's greatness and His plan for victory...Seven was the number God gave to Israel, but He may have a different number or timeframe for you...rest assured that the Lord knows your number. In His sovereignty, He knows the precise time your victory is coming.
[Psalm 139:16] -
Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
....your job is to have faith. Don't compare your journey to anyone else's, but know the Lord is preparing you for victory by shaping you in difficult times...
[Hebrews 12:1-3] -
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
...Christ is our supreme example that there is hope even during our trials and great reward awaiting us.
During your walk around the walls of your personal Jericho, you may experience pain and uncertainty. But if you are faithful and follow God's plan, you will see the walls fall down in God's perfect timing. And just as the Israelites shouted and sounded the trumpets at the end of their journey, you too will celebrate your victory. That very moment is worth all the pain and strife that preceded it.
God's power and His love for you are greater than any obstacle you may be facing today. Trust in the unfailing character of the Lord. Follow His plan, and see the walls fall down.
Christ is enough for me!
I never knew what real love was
until I finally let You in.
You have cleansed my heart
You have washed my soul.
Your unending love overwhelms me.
All the years I ran from You,
the other lovers I allowed in.
O, Lord You've forgiven me.
You have make me clean.
You have made me new.
Your love for me was all I ever needed.
The things this world offers are all so empty.
You Alone satisfy.
You have make me new.
You brought me out of darkness
Into Your marvelous Light.
My God, my God You are Almighty.
My Abba, my Prince.
You Alone satisfy.
I never knew, I never knew.
Now I have seen that You are good.
You are faithful, over and over.
You have proven You are trustworthy.
Never looking back, never going back.
In Your Arms, the only place I belong.
Your Love is enough, all I need.
My Prince, my Jesus, my King.
_________________________________________
I am so joyfully in love with the Prince of my heart. He has swept me off my feet and shown me real love.
So as the 22 came to a close, I realized that even though the commitment of one year has ended, the commitment of following Jesus and being set apart for Him remains. I won't be ready for my future husband until Jesus tells me I'm ready.
"Christ is my reward, and all of my devotion now there's nothing in this world that could ever satisfy...Christ is enough for me..Everything I need is in You."
