Brief note
before I begin…..

I fully believe
that God can make two people, who are meant to be together, find one another
online. He is the God of the impossible, and He will have His way. So please
understand that I am not knocking online dating in any way. I am simply letting you know why it is an issue
for me. 

I felt convicted
about joining, because I was doing exactly what God had placed on my heart not
to do, back when I was in
Thailand. I felt that I needed to confess to male friendships, that my motives
in being friends with them was not pure. I also felt I needed to ask for
forgiveness, and afterwards the Lord opened my eyes about how I was behaving. I
was still acting like the seductress, putting myself out there to be seen. Even something as simple as making an online
profile, was me putting myself out there.

The Lord has
made me promises. By my actions, I
was making a statement to Him, that I don’t trust Him to fulfill those
promises. I also made the statement that I needed to take control of the my
life…even though I had already given it to Him completely. 

As I continue
to study the difference between a Proverbs 7 woman and a Proverbs 31 woman, I
see clearly who the Lord has called me to be. 

Proverbs

Proverbs 31-

Women: who would
you rather be?

Please continue to
lift my finances up in prayer….fighting hard to see my squad at month 8 and
11 debrief.
