Yes, so true.. And whatever happens 5 years down the road would be something I would never expect of right now too.
Lynn of 2007: in bible school, raring to do things for God, 19 years and a young greenhorn in the workplace, not sure of where to go in terms of career but was determined to make the best out of where I was. Single and often dreamt about meeting a prince who would sweep me off my feet (ok, this is a drama side of me). I’m kidding. But I did often think of having a boyfriend and I was on a consecration vow for two years and counting.
Lynn of 2012: still raring to do things for God but in a healthier way - I have learnt to eat the humble pie over the years and am still learning to live in humility. Turning 24 in slightly more than a month and no longer a greenhorn at work. I found my direction in terms of work industry and banking it is. Still finding some clarity on this career path but the same applies - am still determined to make the best out of where I currently am and be the best I can..to excel. I fulfilled my vows along the way and quite patiently waited on God before I was finally taken by a guy who loves me very much and who loves God with every fibre of his being. I learnt that it is not the prince who sweeps us princesses off our feet. It is the King who does so..along with our prince. I see how amazing God can be..how brilliant He is in bringing two people together. In fact, I am totally amazed how He inter-connects just about every one of us on this earth. What’s most different in 2012 is the newness of mind - what I could never have imagined myself to be doing before, I am doing now.
Lynn of 2017: Only God knows..but this I know for sure: Eph 3:20-21
Yes, yes, yes!
That’s what I held dear to during singlehood. Until He alone is enough for you..else, the relationship you get into wouldn’t be firm. Let our security, sense of self-worth be found in Him, not our partners.
