God’s timing isn’t our timing. This is something that I am learning too. Stop focusing on the marriage and start focusing on God and start cultivating a deeper relationship with God. God does not want His people to idolize marriage. There’s a reason why God is making us wait. I am waiting on God to send me my God-ordained husband but I have faith in God and hold on to God’s promises!
Felt the same way. Then met mu husband in late 2020 three months before 31 and welcomed our first child two months ago. If you would have told me a week before meeting him it would happen I would have rolled my eyes and said I’m not the type of girl things like that just happen to.
Thank you so much for sharing. I feel your pain, and I'm in the same boat. I've been praying and waiting on God as well. However, I also need to do the work. I'm living in Fairytale Lane, thinking my husband is going to show up at my door. It does not work like that. I need to put action into finding my husband. I plan on being more intentional this year. Are you going out and placing yourself where single men can find you?
Thanks for sharing! I definitely relate with the struggle of putting yourself out there - it’s so vulnerable! But I’m actively dating… just haven’t found a great match. I just said a prayer for you! Praying that your intentionality combined with God’s direction and provision lead you to someone great ❤️
I understand how you feel because I have been there but here is what you must remember…if God has not revealed that person to us yet it is because of several different reasons: 1. Your faith- which seems like you are strong in that area 2. The relationship you have with God is most important first so really consulting with him and focusing on him 3. Are you ready to be a wife? Have you truly prepared yourself to be a wife before the man God has called to your life. 4. Generational curses- we must repent for creating covenants with the enemy through our sins. A great book to read is by Reverend. James A Solomon (Deliverance from Demonic curses and covenants) 4. Have you fasted? Sometimes you hear God more clearly through prayer and fasting and not just prayer alone. It really helps. 5. Be specific and pray for your future husband and do this daily because God put that desire in your heart because he will fulfill that promise. Matthew 6:33 says to seek him and all of these things will be added. Don’t let these negative comments (the enemy) distract you. You are beautiful and worthy of marriage but maybe God has something he wants you to do before getting married. Lastly, try to get out and do fun activities and place yourself in position for your husband to find you. Never go looking but I truly believe this year you will meet someone. I can’t wait to see an update.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I think it boils down to one thing for me: God’s timing. I’m trusting and waiting and having a good time while doing so ❤️❤️ thank you for the encouragement!!
When the time is right I the LORD will make it happen! Isaiah 60.22 I been waiting for 17years..keep waiting and He will blow your mind. With the love u never knew existed.
Your transparency is wonderful. You have to stay strong, you also have to put yourself out there. You’re waiting on God which is a blessing but you need to go places you don’t usually go. Get out of your comfort zone and allow yourself to be open to new adventures. Converse with men when you’re out and about. You speak on being out with families and couples. Take yourself out on a date frequently!! It will help you❤
I whole heartily understand and know this feeling. Like right now in this moment. People forget what us singles go through. They give out answers that are so holy as if we’re not human and not allowed to feel.
True! I think it’s healthy and modeled in scripture to lament and rejoice. Sometimes the seasons are just sad, but I’m so thankful for the comfort that belief and trust in Jesus brings. I just prayed for you. God is near to the brokenhearted. He is near to you. You’re not alone ❤️
Thank you for being so real and honest. I watch you walk in faith and obedience all year long and know your strength and joy personally. To see you share your valleys also is so beautiful and we can all connect with this. Thank you for being real and showing us how to be human while also living in His love.
Hi i stumbled upon your video and Im glad you are honest. I have been waiting on my husband for a long time too. Our time is not our time. I know this sounds crazy but maybe you want it too much. Focus on other things it will happen when you are least expecting it. Dont ponder on it anymore. Singleness is a gift also. Really look deep into your soul maybe you have more work to do before meeting the one.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks for watching! I hear you. I think that’s the go to advice people give single people, and they may be right 😂 What I’m working on is how to keep it present before God - believing for it in faith - and also living a full life.
@@AmarisKate my comment/link must of been deleted by TH-cam but I also mentioned about a really encouraging ministry called Single But Not Satisfied by Funimi!
Why aren't you dating? You can do that this weekend. By the way, you're still young, even if you may be aging (if we define "aging" as adding a year on your birthday).
@@AmarisKate it is son sad seeing you like this. I can relate whith myself while waiting on the Lord !! During this waiting season, Lord often asked me why i wanted to get married ? I talked about not wanting to be alone, wanting to be loved and wanting to be a mum. He made me realize through years that those were not the correct answers. He first asked me to find His purpose for me, this helped me confirme that i needed a husband, not for me, not only to have children but to fullfill the purpose of God for my life. I don't know if you had that discussion with our Father. Why did He created you for ? Cause your husband will need to be someone who will help you in this calling.
Thank you for making this video. I feel the same way, but even worse. I am 34 and have been hopeful and prayerful about finding a spouse, but nothing has happened. I had a few boyfriends that did not work out and I am still single and nowhere closer to finding the one. I thought bc I never have and don't plan to engage in marital relations outside of marriage and wanted what God has for me, then it would happen. The thing that hurts me the most is that I read comments on YT from women in their 40s and 60s who are still hopeful and I know that not every woman who wants to get married does. So when I pray it is with fear and anxiety, because I know just because I want it badly doesn't necessarily mean I will get it. I am truly hopeless at this point and getting to a point where I don't pray as much about it. I have cried bitter bitter tears out to God and nothing. I thought I would meet my future husband in High School, College, Grad School, Church, Nope. I am more hopeful for others than I am myself. I pray that God blesses you soon.
Hi, friend. Thank you for being so vulnerable and leaving a comment. I promise that I know EXACTLY how you feel, but I am so thankful that I am in a better place and am able to respond to you from that space. It really sucks when you've been believing God for something and doing all of the right things and still not seeing any movement or evidence of fruit in that area. SUCKS. I've really had to work on reframing the way that I think about the whole situation. 1. God loves you and WANTS to bless you. 2. There's nothing you've done that is keeping you away from this blessing and there's no way to work your way into this blessing. 3. You truly have no idea what God is doing behind the scenes. It can feel like you're nowhere near finding the one and then five seconds from now run into the man that God has for you. You're in a similar space that I was just in -- I no longer believed that God cared or saw me or had anything good for me in mind, but honestly it's just such a lie of the enemy. I have to catch myself when I start idolizing marriage. I'm not saying that you are, but it is such an easy thing to slip into -- and get out of -- and slip right back into. Can I remind you that you're not walking in purity so that God will bless you -- you're walking in purity because you love Him... but I know how it feels to feel like you're doing all of the right things and see no fruit. I'm praying for you right now -- mostly that you would encounter God's love again, which will make all of the anxiety and fear fall off of you. You need to allow God to heal the disappointment ... it'll straight up ruin your relationship with God -- and his love for you and your love for him are both so much greater than this one situation. I know that it's probably consuming your thoughts -- a few weeks ago I couldn't even go to the grocery store without crying when I saw couples or moms and their kids. It's the worst. Loneliness and disappointment are so real, my friend. God needs to heal it. I just filmed an updated video about how I'm feeling. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/qn1zY5R37Ss/w-d-xo.html -- and then here's a sermon from my pastor that really helped: th-cam.com/video/S8q4Xl2a1sg/w-d-xo.html -- I hope this encourages you. Sending so much love.
@@AmarisKate Thank you for your compassionate response. I too am at the point where I cannot see couples without wanting to cry. I literally cry while watching TV and seeing a happy family. Yes, I agree, with your thoughts on walking in purity. Thank you for praying for me. It feels good to have a sister in Christ who has been where I am pray for me. I am very happy that you are in a better place. Thank you for sharing the links. I also pray my circumstances will change for the better and I get married soon. May God bless the both of us soon.
Sis i totally feel u... I'm 27+ now and after few months I'll be 28...and I've never dated anyone in my entire life and after waiting for my whole life, when I'm still waiting now, it's exhausting and tiring..at times I also become weak in faith but I'm still trying...a big hug for u ...just hang in there a bit more, God's got u
Some of us are not meant to be married - agree! Until God shows me that’s my story, I’m going to keep praying and trusting God for His provision in that area 🙂
@@AmarisKate how you know he already sent you that but you didn't realize it then?,or maybe your standards are to high, reason why men are not getting married, cause women are taking them to the cleaners in divorce
@@KINGMAYABZEmy standards will always be high because I hold myself to a high standard. If settling for something less than what I’m believing God for is the alternative, I will happily remain single 😊

I pray you meet and get married to your husband this year 🤗❤ sending huge hugs your way! Divine timing is in God's control.
Thank you! And thanks for watching
Your person is coming! And when that love comes it will be well worth the wait. I love you !
