I had people say I was crazy or foolish for wanting to keep myself till I get married. That I wasn't being realistic in this day and age. I didn't always live this way, let's be real, but by His grace, I remained patient; I obeyed God in telling me to cut off the people he knew weren't for me. I stayed in the Word, resisted the tempting text messages, pictures and phone calls that would lead me out the door & laid up in some man's bed.
Some nights I would come home from work (I get off at 10:30 pm) and I would literally study the Word and allow the Holy Spirit to teach me new things for 6-7 hours straight! Don't believe me?--I have TWO former roommates that can testify to getting up & ready for their 1st shift jobs and I would still be up or just going to bed. I was hungry for JESUS!!
Staying focused on building my relationship with Christ allowed HIM to make me over in some areas of my life (not the other way around). I believed God's word that says He's a rewarder of those who diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:3) & it paid off. He's blessed me with someone who's perfect for ME & just as much about the Lord's business as I am. Was it an easy process? No.. Did I still make mistakes along this journey? OH YES!! I wasn't always a godly woman; in fact, I was quite "ratchet" before that word even existed LOL!!
Nonetheless, I pressed forward and when I began to know my worth in Christ FIRST..., THEEENNN I was able to properly guard my heart & what that did was hide me from those who could not find me without looking through HIS lenses. Don't be weary in well doing & don't waste your single life idolizing on a husband or wife--WAIT ON GOD!! Trust me when I say his timing is PERFECT.
