PMS Pre-Marital Struggle

It seems that everyone is getting married but you right?All your friends are hitching up and it seems it is never going to happen. "Your time will come, don't worry-next year is your year girlfriend."Yeah right! But when that year comes and you find yourself walking behind the bride again and again it's like what's going on Lord I thought I was next.

Many women I speak to today ask me the same question time and time again "why is it that I am still single. I have prayed fasted, stayed holy I just don't understand. Where are all the good men at? I just want to get married and be happy."

Be happy... Is it true that happiness is tied up into us getting married? Does our purpose of what we've been called to do matter? Or do we find it when we get hitched up? As I was looking at the life of Adam and Eve I realised something. They had everything a man could ever want. They had it so good that they did not need any clothes the glory of God covered them. They were in control the animals harkened to the voices; nature was at their beck and call. No 9-5 job just pure paradise. What a life!

But something happened. Even though Adam and Eve had everything they decided to concentrate on the ONE thing they could not have. Isn’t that like us we may frown at Adam and Eve for their "fall" but we in our own lives do exactly the same thing. For many women (not all) our concentration is focused on getting married-getting a husband and we hold God accountable for it. In reality this desire holds us captive and our lives become stagnant because we place everything on hold waiting for Mr right.

I encourage you ladies today to flip the script and concentrate on what you do have. Your Mr will come when his see's you doing your thing. In fact you will be found when you are walking out your destiny tending to your garden. Don't die in your Eden there is too much for you to do, too much for you to accomplish. Preparation for a purpose takes positioning and polishing.

I leave you with God's first charge to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Gen 1 verse 29 Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;Gen 1 verse 30and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to everything that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food and it was so.
