A wise person once gave me advice about using email: Never type anything you wouldn't want everybody to see. The same can be said for dating. Don't say or do anything with a guy that you wouldn't want everybody to see. God is going to see it anyway, and that should be enough.

And speaking of God, He created you and He loves you more than you can imagine! And since He has your best interests at heart, can you simply trust Him with you dating life? Can you believe that He really is bigh enough to bring the right man into your life at the right time?

The thing to remember is that His timing can be different than ours.

Consider this: Your whole life is a journey, mapped out by your heavenly Father. Yes, He allows you to make choices about things you'll do and places you'll go. But His concern is that you're able to take your time and do the things that make your life a complete and rewarding one. As long as you seek Him first and develop a close relationship with Him, the ride should be fulfilling--even through the rough spots.

Take your eyes off God and you'll miss parts of the journey that He intended for you to see. And when you're more focused on a relationship with a guy than you are on the one with your heavenly Father, there will be gaps in the lifelong trip that you'll never be able to experience again.

...Think about it. A relationship with a guy won't get you to heaven but one with God will! Before even thinking about a relationship with a guy, make time to fully develop an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ!

For some people, waiting means trusting God to bring the right person into your life at the right time. And that time is when you can develop a relationship that is pleasing and glorifying to God!

A godly man--a man of integrity--is worth waiting for. A man who adores you, reveres you, builds you up, respects you and accepts you as you are--as God has developed you--that's a man worth waiting for! And you know something? God will reveal that man to you in His time!

Waiting on God's timing will be worth the wait!

God, help me to put you in the center of life again and focus on you. I don't know why but I suddenly feel down again and off-tangent. Lift me up with your Spirit once again! Oh! To embrace the hope that can be found in you! To trust in your right timing and right guy for me! Not to rush and not to be impulsive! Please help me. I wanna get right with you!
