  • My relationship testimony, Part 2.⁠ ⁠ Once I began praying for God to send me my future husband, I created a list of what I would like in a person. I wanted him to be like this, look like this and enjoy this, etc. I can tell you that a lot of those expectations were surreal and not what God gave me.⁠ ⁠ And I will be honest with you...I don't recommend doing this because it's as if we are taking the place of God and fabricating the ideal person in our minds. We set expectations and once they don't come through, we get hurt.⁠ ⁠ It's best to let God bring you the person with no set expectations because He knows the desires of our hearts better than we know ourselves. -- I don't want this to be confused with allowing someone in our lives that can be damaging. If we ask God for wisdom, He will let you know what to pray for 📖Romans 8:26.⁠ ⁠ It amazes me how my future husband doesn't meet ALL the "expectations" I had, but we fit together so perfectly. We express our love for each other in ways that we both love. We are very similar and yet, our differences complement the weaknesses we have.⁠ ⁠ So I threw away the list and kept praying. I don’t know if you do this, but every night I kneel down to pray next to my bed. I've been doing this since high school and I think it’s very humbling to kneel down right before bed. Now, even though we aren’t living together, my fiancé and I do this nightly and we take turns praying over the phone.⁠ ⁠ Around the time I threw away my list and one day after church, an older couple called me over to them and the man told me out of nowhere: “Become the person that you would want to marry. Work on becoming a better you and don't have a list of requirements.” I had never spoken to this guy and his wife about anything. Is this coincidence? No. This is how God works and this was confirmation from Him that He cares and was listening.⁠ ⁠ So that is what I did during my time of singleness. I studied and worked; I stayed active in church and I didn't get discouraged.
  • This week's posts are going to be about relationships.⁠ ⁠ Part 1: I have never shared much about my relationship, but I feel that I should possibly start sharing a little bit more in hopes that it will grow your faith in God upon hearing my relationship testimony. (📖Romans 10:17)⁠ .⁠ I have never been boy crazy. I did have guys ask to date me or for my number, but I never engaged in what would lead to anything beyond friends. I was determined to stay focused on my future plans of becoming a medical missionary. I would pray to God for whatever He wanted and if He wanted for me to be single so I can focus on His work in the medical mission field, I was ready!⁠ ⁠ BUT the time came (towards sophomore/junior year of college) when I started feeling lonely. I would go to church by myself and be involved in ministries by myself and after evening service, I'd drive around the beach and pray to God letting Him know how lonely I felt and that I did want Him to bring someone.⁠ ⁠ I made Him three requests to know for sure that this would be someone sent by Him: first, I asked for someone who I would be friends with for 7 years before starting the relationship; second and third I won't mention because they are very private things that only God and I know (now my future husband knows them, too! lol). --I am not going to say that I asked God for a godly man and other things like that because that is a given.⁠ ⁠ Anyway, in the next few posts you will see how God started working after I began praying for Him to bring me my special someone 😊.

  • (🇺🇸English/🇪🇸Español...👉🏻 desliza a la derecha)⁠⠀ I want to devote the next few posts to praising God and I hope you'll join me.⁠⠀ I am following along with #shereadstruth bible study on worship and I am reflecting on how often I praise God. I don't think I praise Him enough. When I think of all that He has done for me, for my loved ones and for those around me, it is incomparable to the attention I give Him.⁠ God alone is worthy. He answers our prayers. He protects us. He heals us. He provides for us. He allows us to enjoy our days. He allows us to walk through trials to develop a Christ-like character. ⚡️He doesn't want us to perish, but wants to give us everlasting life.⚡️⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ 🌸How can we not stop to praise Him?🌸⁠
  • (🇺🇸English/🇪🇸Español...👉🏻 desliza a la derecha) My Monday prayer. . Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 📖Matthew 6:10. . 🌸What is your Monday prayer?🌸
  • (🇺🇸English/🇪🇸Español...👉🏻 desliza a la derecha) This has been a part of my prayers lately. And MOST of the time, we forget to add that to our prayers. We forget that Jesus showed His disciples how to pray and this was included in the prayer 📖Matthew 6:9-13. By praying this, I know God is helping me fight temptations.⚡️We have to be cognizant of the temptations around us so that we won’t be led into sin. And right now, temptation for me is being idle. Currently, I have been given a lot of resources and time, and God has laid out a beautiful plan for me. I cannot be idle or lazy. I want to seize the day with the opportunities He has given me because I know that it will glorify Him. I think with everything in my life, God has been glorified.⚡️If there was ever a time I didn’t see Him being glorified, it was because I was not focused on Him, but on the disappointments and failures of not getting my way⚡️— I was focused on the temptations. The enemy likes to distract us and lead us into sin. God in His infinite love for us is seeking to develop in us the character of Christ. ⚡️Whenever we resist temptation, our characters are making progress toward His Kingdom!⚡️ . 🌸What temptations are you currently facing? What are you learning from them?🌸
  • It is God's will to answer your prayers. God actually delights in answering your prayers. . (Never forget that God loves you more than you can imagine. God loves you more than He loves Himself, and proved it by dying in your place, so you could go free.) Then why are there so many delays? Some prayers involve other people, and God does not force people to do His will, but works with them patiently so they can see and do the right thing willingly. This takes time. There are things that God is working in you while you are persevering in prayer. God's plan is for you to grow up spiritually. God wants to enlarge your faith and encourage you to develop a closer relationship with Him. If every answer always came immediately, ⚡️would you really press in and spend time drawing closer to God and studying His Word?⚡️ . Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up 📖 Luke 18:1. . 🌸Don't despair in prayer. Keep on praying in faith as long as you are praying according to God's Word. A delay, even a very long one, does not mean that God is saying no to your request. —ADevotion(dot)org
