I've dreamt so much about my beloved and how I'd meet him so much that I've lost count. Inside me is that little girl waiting for her prince. I've prayed for and spoken to him as though he was in my presence though we had not yet met. I would say I was totally smitten with him before I even met him.

I had a long list of what I wanted him to be like and what he would do for me. For me he would be a king who treats me as the queen that I am. The list grew longer and then shorter over the years. The wait for him became unbearable. There were nights I couldn't take it any longer and wondered why he had not yet come into my life. I questioned God but heard nothing. Though confused I moved on with my life. I pursued purpose and doing the Lord's bidden for my life. There were times I wanted to give up on God because I thought He had given up on me but He always held me and showed me love.

When I was on the verge of giving up, He strengthened me and caused me to hold onto my confessions. There I was praying and confessing. Then the little princess in me and the woman I had become met him. Our meeting was so ordinary that it could have escaped me but the bible says the steps of the righteous are ordered and mine was. The Lord was true to His words and brought him to me. I wouldn't say it was love at first sight but first meeting led to friendship then the rest followed. In our relationship there were times I wanted to give up on him because he wasn't acting as I wanted him to but the Lord showed me how to let him be himself and still love him. Our life is not totally like I envisioned it to be it is way better because Jesus is the foundation on which we have built our love.

I'm so excited sharing this story with you. It shows how when you wait on the Lord and hold on to your confessions you can have what you say.
