The Guy I'm Not Dating

I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday in the search of a cd. I found that cd, but I also found my new favorite book. It's called "The Guy I'm Not Dating." It was so wonderful that I almost stayed home from work today just to finish it. (I've got a couple of days I need to take off in the month of Jan.) =-)

Anyways... I LOVED this book. The story is about a girl who decides to "give up" dating and then meets the man of her dreams, and how they allow God to lead them together instead of letting their emotions and desires get in the way. I've always liked the idea of courtship when dating... and this book makes me like it even more. YES... I know that it's just a book, but I love it when the Lord speaks to you through random things that you're not looking for him in. It's one of those stories that makes you feel good.. and I'm a sucker for those types of things.

The problem with books, movies, things like these are that when I read/watch them, they make me want a husband really bad. And this is something that I'm working with God on. It's like I wrote about earlier... I need to be ok with where God has me... but not ok with where I am with God. God has me here for a reason. I am single for a reason. I am in a job that I don't love for a reason. All of these are great reminders for me to truly trust God. In HIS timing. Yeah... it's hard. Somedays I wanna take things into my own hands. And sometimes I do. That's the great thing about God. He forgives unconditionally and teaches us through these times. Oh how great to know that God is in control. (if only I could make this feeling last past the next five minutes.) =-)
