Have you ever heard the Garth Brooks song, "Unanswered Prayers"? I recommend listening to it. It's a classic.
I have been reflecting on a few of my past relationships (the last 3 years or so), not that any were serious mind you, but still reflecting. I remember day dreaming and talking with my Heavenly Father about some of them turning into something more... my"happy little family" maybe?
That reflection has made my recent prayers and revelation to those prayers mean a lot more. They have given me the sweet assurance that I should truly thank the Lord for some of those unanswered prayers. He knows me better than I know myself. He knows what is best for me and He knows WHO is best for me.
I don't know who my ore is, I don't know when I'll find him, and I don't know where I'll find him... yet. I do however know that I will find him if I trust in the Lord and His guidance. Now it's just a matter of reminding myself and showing an increase of faith, because I really do know that he is out there.
I needed to say it out loud, well write it down, so it will sink a little further in. lol. Thanks for reading. I hopefully will have more adventures coming soon, so keep your eyes out for fun posts.
oh how I love that song! I also love and appreciate "Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts. Hopefully one day we'll be able to apply them to our lives and say "Yep... good thing I had THAT broken road" and so on. I admire your faith and certainty in the Lord's plan for you! sometimes I have so little faith I just figure, "whatever, I can be happy this way" and being married one day doesn't seem like any kind of reality. But I don't want to give up hope. not yet! Keep your chin up... go get 'em tiger!
ReplyDeleteHope is a HUGE factor in my faith. I'm learning to rely upon them both more. Praying for charity doesn't hurt either ;) It's that whole "three legged stole" concept Pres. Uchtdorf talked about in one of the First Presidency messages last year.
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally agree about the Rascal Flatts song and right back atcha babe, Keep your chin up... go get 'em tiger! *grin*
