So I just deleted all of my online dating profiles. Yup....all four of them on different sites. I'm so over it. I started doing Match.com when I was 21. Then eHarmony. Then Christian Mingle. Then Plenty of Fish. It's been a fun seven years...but obviously I should have found someone worthwhile in seven years. So I don't think it's for me.
My sister met her husband on eHarmony within a month! I used to be jealous of that, but who really wants to meet someone online. Yeah, sure, you pay $59 on eHarmony and they send you matches. I'm sure some people really are compatible and that's good for them. But I want a story. Yes, I'm fascinated by stories of finding love. I have tons of books on just stories of people finding their mate. So do I really want a story like, "yeah, I just signed up for this online dating site....and logged in one day and there he was." Um no. That's stupid. Sorry, sis. I'm glad you found your soulmate, but that's not how I want to find mine.
I read a great book entitled "When God Winks on Love" and there were some amazing love stories in that book. So I'm not saying you can't find love online. Many people do. But it's not for me. I'm so over it. Sure, it's nice to meet new men and go to dinner and find out about them. But what if I rely on God to place that special someone in my path??? I think it will be interesting to see who He brings into my life. Or who knows....maybe God has already placed him in my life.....
I don't know what's in store for my life, but I do know that God has a plan. He says in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
I'm excited to see what God has in store for me. And if you're sick of trying to find that Mr. or Ms. Right....then just Let Go and Let God. I love that saying. But it's true. I'm letting go of my search and letting God work out all the details.
I will update you and let you know how it all turns out! I'm so ready to have A Story!
