I often get asked by single ladies, "Ingrid, what the heck am I supposed to do while I wait for the One." This is usually accompanied with a slightly embittered undertone that translates into "God ain't getting this love boat show on the road and I'm losing faith here!" Nothing tests a woman's faith in her Creator more than having to play the "waiting game." My frustration in this way of thinking is the manner in which is seems many women place their lives on hold while they wait on the One. Their entire existence is focused solely on determining if every guy that crosses their path could potentially be the One. The occupation with that question takes up a ginormous amount of time (because of course as women we over analyze everything!). But seriously ladies?! Let's stop this nonsense now! Let's not waste time sitting around playing the "woe is me" game. God has not forgotten you (see song in previous post). God is not ignoring your prayers! God's timing is perfect. Grow your faith. And until that time arrives...today you have a purpose! Today there is something you need to accomplish. Today there is plenty God needs you to do. And so I found the following song quite appropriate while 'waiting'....

Ugh...I know you are right (as always)...but it's so much easier said than done...
maybe...but the good news is it's not impossible. Sometimes we're our greatest obstacles.
