Are you really ready?

[Jullianna]

What exactly is it that you are looking/praying for? Just someone to date or the real deal?

 

[Rissa77]

Real deal. But I'm still not ready to date yet.

Don't you think being somewhat content with God is currently doing in you with where He has you now has a LOT to do with whether someone is ready or not?

I see a lot of people that come accross as so very unhappy with where they are. (keep in mind there is a difference between complacency and content)

I feel it would be a LOT of pressure to put on someone to automatically supply your life with joy. Should'nt you have joy in your current circumstances?

I know we all have desires and wants. For some it may be their degree or dream job.....but for many it is a relationship and someone to share their life with. I am no different in that area, I want to have someone to share my life with too......but I trust that God has me where He has me, due to His perfect plan for my life that I just do not see yet. That is faith.

If I am not contect, and constantly *grumbling*, then I would not want to expect someone to want to be with me.

(I feel like maybe I am not making much sense with what I type today LOL...hopefully I am?)

 

[Rissa77]

No, you make perfect sense, Grace, and as usual, I agree!

 

[Forlorn-Hope]

Im ready for the zombie apocalypse.

 

[Jullianna]

You do make sense, Grace. If someone is unhappy with themselves and their life in general, the next new thing usually doesn't fix it, right? Even if it's SOMEONE new.

Sorry it took so long for me to get the poll up, but it was rather lengthy.

I am just trusting that God will direct me, or visa versa, to the person that He sees fit. There is a prayer somewhere in there, but that is between me and the LORD. I think that if I were looking for the real deal, then I would see any woman whom I interacted with and had an attraction to as a potential mate, which would only set me up for disappointment in the long run. It is important to build up a friendship before trying to pursue anything serious. I am just sitting back and letting God do the match making. I seek first the Kingdom of God knowing that all other things will be added unto me.

@ Jullianna, Your poll is thought provoking.

@ Rissa, I think its great that you know what your looking for, but not rushing out there to find it.

 

[See_KING_Truth]

Do not misunderstand the visa versa part of my post. I meant God will direct me to them, or them to me. Do not accuse me of proclaiming that I can direct God lol. Thanks, I don't feel like contacting the administrator to change it.

 

[grace]

I knew what you meant by your orriginal post. (thanks for clarifying though) :)

Ha thanks. Actually not so great. Have to turn down a great guy soon because of the wrong timing. Great guy. I would be willing to give him a chance. But God says wait. So I wait. Not looking forward to Wednesday, though cuz I'm not sure how this guy will take it and I would like to still be friends. :/

 

[grace]

Any guy, who is a Godly guy....once he had it explained to him, would be silly to not seek God himself, and wait himself. Who is to say your not to be with this guy? And if he is willing to pray on it too....then you never know..the wait might not be that long? Gods timing is best for sure!

That's what I'm praying!

I'm not anyone I would want anyone to marry, yet.

I believe you can only love another person as much as you love yourself....and I believe you get out of life, including love exactly what you put into it......when she walks into my life I will know it, until then I love life and have to many things to do to worry about it...but I am ready just as soon as she finds me..........I believe most people want that love to be something or fill something its not meant too...that some many NEED it but dont understand love is only received when one knows how to give it.......unconditionally and with out pause or reservations without expecting anything in return.

Written and sung by Mary Chapin Carpenter
Well I know it ain't been roses lately, baby, it's just been thorns
And no matter what we do, nothing seems to change
Love has always been my shelter, for you it's been a storm
But for a while I thought we'd almost beat the rain

Now there's a hole here in my pocket where all my dreams have gone
Fallen out like so many nickels and dimes
And last of all you, you'd always been my good luck charm
I should've known that luck's a waste of time

'Cause it don't bring you love if you don't love
And it don't bring you time if you ain't got time
And it don't bring you strength, baby, if you ain't strong
And it don't bring you kindness if you ain't kind

Now there's a whole lot of life to be unsure of
But there's one thing I can safely say I know
That of all the things that finally desert us
Pride is always the last thing to go

But it won't bring you love if you don't love
And it won't bring you time if you ain't got time
And it won't bring you strength, baby, if you ain't strong
And it won't bring you kindness if you ain't kind

And now I wish you only roses, baby, without the thorns
And I hope your dreams are always within reach
And I wish you shelter, baby, from all your storms
They scared you, but they never seemed to teach

That I can't bring you love if you don't love
And I can't bring you time if you ain't got time
And I can't bring you strength, baby, if you ain't strong
And I can't bring you kindness if you ain't kind
And I can't bring you kindness if you ain't kind

I absolutely agree with you, Hommer. When the time is right, I will know. Until then, I'm perfectly okay with my life as it is.

 

[Liamson]

IF YOU EXIST, therefore someone who is just like you must exist too, right?

If you met your equal and opposite equivalent in a person, would you recognize them?

Would you be willing to give them a chance?

If the other person was like me then I would be ready to grow together but, until I find them I won't stop improving myself into the person that I would want someone to fall in love with. I realize that no one is looking for the ideal person but, I'm willing to try and be the absolute most I can be. If nothing else I'm the habits that I want to keep for the rest of my life. The threshold for me is not how much effect these habits have had but, how established these habits have become.

I want to become the kind person that I want to find.

If a man isn't ready to 100% lay his life down for a woman and serve her 100% like Jesus did the church, then he is not ready for a woman.

If a woman isn't 100% ready to submit and respect a man, then she isn't ready for a man.

 

[evelina]

How can you know that you are ready to go? I just want to know some thoughts

 

[lightbliss]

Real deal. But I'm still not ready to date yet.

Same, maybe in a few years.
