My marriage started out as a conversation that never ended...

Proverbs 18:22 says, " He who finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord..."

I was fed up...tired and "not try'n to hear that", when it came to marital relationships until I met my husband. So many people have distorted views of what marriages are meant to be. I have learned that many times God will allow you to meet someone who is simply on assignment for a season in your life. Why do we want to carry last seasons "stuff" into the new places that God is carrying us to? I know for some people it just "feels right" or for others, it may be a guilt complex, but just know that when YOU take over where God is not...you are expected to carry the weight of that relationship on your own.

Galatians 5:22 says, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control..."

I hear a lot of people say they can't find a good man or a good woman, but the question is....are YOU what you are looking for in a spouse? and lets not even talk about who should be looking for who! (LOL) I think Galatians gives you a clue as to what you should see in a potential spouse.

I am starting to get a real true understanding of what a "help meet" is... allow me to be me and say, when you just busy yourself with "Kingdom" work, you put yourself in a position to receive or require "help" to "meet" your Kingdom assignments! Genesis 2:18 says, "And the Lord God said, It is not good that man should be alone, I will make him a help meet" Sounds to me like an assignment. This does not mean your spouse is a door mat!

The natural progression/transition from being single to being married, ...I have the most wonderful husband! God blessed me with an awesome King. Right before we met, I began to know me, and discovered that I really like me and that I'm okay with who I am. It wasn't until this time that I realized that my self value needed to be re-visited but this time I needed to simply get an understanding of who God says I am, and walk in it.

I have been bought with a price, I am a friend of God, God has accepted me, I am a child of God, and I am an heir of God....just to name a few!

***Warning*** When you get to know who you are in God, you become more of a threat because the enemy knows if he can keep you confused, you will struggle with carrying out your assignments! Keep it mov'n!

I know this blog may seem a bit random but this is meant to spark a conversation between you and God about who you are in Him. Thank God for making you fearfully and wonderfully.

I want to encourage you to get to know who YOU are in God and stop allowing what others think about you become your identifier. For some of you, it may be meant for you to be married, but you must be okay with you first.

Allow God to reveal His plans that He has for you to manifest in your life. Stay in tune with God, talk to Him, He would LOVE to hear from you today. Allow Him to show you who's for you, walk forward and upward and never allow anyone else's agenda to take precedent over what God has for you.
