Mayen's Musing

Wait for a man that will put in the time, heart, and effort to pursue you. None of this whole “chasing around boys who don’t really like us and pine when they reject us” business. <b>Wait for God to set you up with one who will put in time to win your heart.</b> How can he do that though if you’re throwing it at him? Be secure enough in yourself and your Father that you don’t need to throw your heart around and give it away to any man who winks his eye at you. Be a woman, secure in God, deadly to the devil, feminine in strength, purity, and tenderness, and <b>give your man a chance to be a man</b>. Let the boys go who blow you off and expect you to let them walk all over you or just plain won’t put in effort to get to know you at all. Let them go, and position yourself as a woman satisfied in Herself and Her life. Give yourself to knowing God, give yourself to loving others, and your man will come alongside you. You will never have to strive to make him like you, to make him talk to you. He will be already a man in pursuit of your heart without your help.

Amen, thanks for the reminder @katweenah

Clear The Stage | Jimmy Needham

Oh my gosh, this is a really good song. I cried during the second verse. What it says is really convicting.

 Take a break from all the plans that you have made
And sit at home alone and wait for God to whisper
 Beg Him please to open up His mouth and speak
 And pray for real upon your knees until they blister
 Shine the light on every corner of your life
 Until the pride and lust and lies are in the open
 Then read the Word and put to test the things you’ve heard  
Until your heart and soul are stirred and rocked and broken 

I know I definitely need to take a break from my plans. I have so many things planned out in my life, right now. I obviously planned things for school and stuff, even for next summer, I have that planned out. I even have a school that I want to transfer into, and what my career will be, and how many kids I want, and many other things a girl thinks about. What if God doesn’t want me to go to the school I want to transfer to? It’s really up to Him, He did plan everything. And the funny thing is, the past VBS with my church was about trusting God no matter what. So I guess I need to learn, “No matter what happens… TRUST GOD!”

I know I don’t “pray for real…” to God. I am a very reserved person. I need to get to know a person REALLY well in order for me to break down the walls. If I don’t the walls will definitely be standing firm in their place. I think it’s time for me to break down those walls with God. Maybe that’s what He’s trying to say to me through this song. He’s probably shouting from His throne, “MAYEN!! I want a more intimate relationship with you! (fill in the rest)”
