I would be more than thankful to be honest. But I have a feeling we wont tell us...he wants us to wait without knowing.

I think He does that because there are a lot of things He wants to teach us before the right one comes along so we don't mess it up. :)

I would be happy and willing to wait. I have been married and in relationships where I was cheated on. If waiting meant the man for me with be Faithful, share same views, be loving, nurturing and supportive...I would wait! I know my other half is out there and I know that I am willing to wait. I am just afraid that I will never trust again after so many times of being lied to and cheated on.

I would be happy that I don't have to waste time looking anymore. I would do what I could to improve myself both as a person, as a Christian, and take better care of my body so that I can be ready for anything when I finally meet him.

Coming from an 19 year old teen, it would be the perfect time for me hahah so I'd easily adapt to that. I'd be really thankful though, that God actually has someone just for me. In the remaining time I'd try to improve myself with the help of God, so I could be a better christian and a cool wife.:)

If God came to you and said, "I have someone for you... but you're not going to meet him/her for another 5 years," how would you react and what would you do?

Would you be upset that you had to wait so long? Joyful that you'd know there was actually someone out there for you? And what would you do with the time in between?

I'd say........'gee, thanks for ruining the surprise!' :p

But seriously, I woudn't change anything major in my life, unless my life was a complete mess ;)

Me as I am now I would just try to prepare sensibly, like save money and try to lay some kind of foundation for the reality I knew was coming, as for myself, I wouldn't change anything because the 5 years would teach me whatever God needed me to know, otherwise he would probably deliver her now, not in 5 years.

I think my feelings would be a standard mix of relief at knowing it would happen and frustration at having to wait.....kind of like how I used to feel about Christmas! :D

I think I would be upset at first. I now God's timing is different than our own, but I never really invisioned haeally thoughving my frst child in my mid 30's. I really hoped to get started before 30.

But just like everything else that doesnt go my way, I would get over it and try to learn as much as possible about wife stuff, maybe do some mission in South America or Asia.

But now that I think about it, those are things that I am already doing. I invision myself as a "traditional" wife, cooking and cleaning and all that 50's stuff. So I am trying to be good at it now so it's is an easier transition when I merge my life. I want to go on mission too but I havn't really had the opportunity financially.

I think the answers will be interesting to read comparing to ages. At almost 40, it seems like the clock is ticking. So 5 years seems like *forever*. At 23 it's like, I won't be 30 yet. Frankly, I didn't think I would live to be 30, so I would have said "Let's live it up people".

What would I say right now? At 35? I have come to the conclusion that I would be ok with that. Even at facing 40 in 5 years. I've been married, and I know what "wrong" is. I can't afford to do that again.

On the same token? I'm not just sitting on my couch cushions praying God sends me someone passively. "Ask, Seek, Knock". That is how my Bible reads to me.

Sara's clock was way past ticking when God told her she was going to have a child at age 90, in fact, Abraham and she laughed uncontrollably at God's announcement of a child in Sara's womb.

Well, God was right.

~~ That said, it makes no difference, you can have kids at 50 and MIRACLES like that have happened in present day america I am pretty sure. God can do anything . That, and, nothing is impossible with God are mentioned phrases almost as much as the word 'money,' in the New Testament. Well, not sure of the comparison count, and, my pastor once said 'money' was mentioned more than any other word in the bible. So..... I am not sure what I am saying by all this. What is this thread about again :D

___So, yeah, for ladies 35 to wait until 40 and still have their biological clock ticking they wonder, YOU BET!, God can still tick it. :)

What would I do if God told me, '5 years, green, you will be getting another color in your life?'

Nothing different, just live each day so that I was following His plan, knowing that who would be put in my life would be God's chosen one for me.

I would be really happy.
And God does know more than me :0
If 5 yrs is the time then so it is...

I would hope to improve myself that time in all ways I can.
All ways I can physically, morally, spiritually, career etc.
Do my best to be my best.
For God, my future "the one" and for myself.
A hope and dreams and blessing would live within me every day, something to look 4ward to.
and maybe we can "hangout " in spirit till our bodies meet? or is that cheating perhaps... hmm

Miracles do happen and its inspiring to read your posts :)
