She was one of those sitting in the first three rows, making the view of the bride and groom clearer to her. She watched the whole event, a strong wave of depression washing over her as she did. Dara her friend was sitting close to her and smiled broadly when her phone rang. She didn't need to ask, she knew that the call was from her husband.
She remembered the call from Daniel yesterday and wondered if she should have just agreed to his proposal. She shook her head as the thought crossed her mind, he had the looks and all, but she knew that God was not in support of it.
She watched her friend again as she gesticulated and giggled brightly while still on the call. She wondered if there was something wrong with her.
She stared long into space as she wondered... She wondered when she would also be able to make long calls with that special someone, when she would also be able to save someone's name with an endearing title, when she would like her friend be able to tell stories of God's workings through she and her husband's union, when... She shook her head, sighed, and waited till the reception was over, a sullen look on her face.. She looked longingly at the couple who were all smiles and sunshine as she made to go...
'When Lord?' The question that had been on her heart for quite some time, 'When?' she asked...
Dear Sis,
I know the waiting period might be difficult, that you might be tempted to also ask the question 'God when?' Wondering if you're not a female like other females, or wondering why your own case is different from the other 'happily ever cases' you've been hearing about. I'm here to tell you to hold on still. Do not give in to that person you know God would definitely not approve of because it looks as if time is not on your side, or because of what persons are saying or the pressure coming from family.
Hold on to God, keep praying, keep trusting, keep yourself in chastity, in the place of walking with God, in the place of walking in purpose, and one more thing: Keep dancing with your Heavenly Father till He lets the right man cut in...
May God give you all the grace you need to wait... Amen.
