Lori Sis,
I feel you all the way girl. I've watched all of my girlfriends get married, buy a home, start a family; the whold nine; and i would cry at nite, saying "Lord, when is my turn coming?? surely you havent forgotten about me."

One thing He said to me was, stop looking at them; keep your eyes on me. Several times He said, "I'm not in that. I didnt ordain that." Then as time passed, those same friends would call me crying saying, "girl, what have i done; this man is trippen'; etc."

God has a set plan for each and every one of our lives!

The waiting period is VERY important. It was during my waiting period that He rooted out all that worldly mess that was in my head & my heart. During the waiting period God revealed who He was; and more importantly, who I am to Him!

God has not forgotten about you. He knows you from head to toe, & He knows everything you're going through & every pain you feel. He said, "Cast all your cares upon me, for I care for you."

But there is a process you must go thru to hear from God.

1. Repent- You must verbally acknowledge that you have sinned.
2. Verbally Confess Your Sins to Jesus- Don't try to hide your sins, because He sees everything. Don't worry about every little detail, but if its fornication, adultry, etc., tell Him.

3. Receive His Free Gift- Ask Him to come into your life & save you. No matter what you've done, He said, "Whosoever will, let him come"

4. Turn Away from Sin- Don't go back to doing what you used to. He said, "Come out from amoung them & be ye seperate."

Now talk to Him; tell Him everthing thats on your heart.

Hold on, my Sister; Hold on.

Your post has made me get on the stick about getting a page up about waiting. Please check back this weekend, January 19, 2002
