Patience

Wow, wow, wow. What a week this has been. I have been dealt so many lessons on God's sovereignty that all I can do is be still and shut my mouth. I have learned from a dear friend's hardships this week, that although God may close one door, He opens ten more. He works all things for good, and there should be no doubt about that. I think about that constantly as I am 30 years old now and single. How content I should be! God has me exactly where He wants me. He has my friend exactly where He wants him. He called here yesterday bursting with joy, and although he didn't speak to me on the phone, it was good to overhear the conversation. God disciplines those He loves. For a while there I was thinking, "Oh man, does God love me? I've seen nothing but grace, grace and more grace!" "NO good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly." I know He loves me, and that just leaves me speechless.

hey, I found you because I am desperately looking for a job and I googled the job god is planning for Marcella ! that's me , I went as cella as a child and have tried to resurrect it but everyone resists.any way I am 52 and I was single until I was 36 and God sent me the perfect person for me. I have had a very wonderful marriage for 15 1/2 years and I hope it continues. When I was 22 God told me "Love waits for you " I had about given up when I met my husband. we were engaged after 6 mos of dating and married 14mos after meeting. Don't loose hope sometimes we have to get in the right place to meet the wonderful person God has for us.thanks for your positive message !
