A cornerstone verse for me in my adult life has been a paraphrase of Matthew 6:33- 'Seek first the kingdom of God, the rest will follow...' It has influenced my decision to go back to university, without knowing exactly what career I will end up with afterwards. I decided to just go in it with faith that I will figure it out and in the meantime, I hoped that I would draw closer to God, meet good people, learn more about myself and my faith. I also hoped that I would meet a man, after all Bible schools have been jokingly known for being 'Bridal schools'
Well, I am in my third year of University, and no luck, and I simply don't understand why. It seems like the Matthew 6:33 state-of-mind was easier to follow with my decision to go back to University, then it was to wait patiently for a mate. Its hard not to look inwardly and wonder, is there something wrong with me? Or trying to find some kind of justification to why God has not put someone in my life yet. I believe that I have a lot to offer, but I see all these people at school getting into relationships and getting engaged, and wonder when will it be my turn?
I don't know. I pray to God that His Will be done and not mine. But in the back of my mind, I still hope, please let it be soon.
