something better

All my life I've wanted to get married and be a mom. I always figured and never heard any different, that I couldn't find someone to marry then it was ok and God would give me peace. I don't know if you catch the underlying tone, but thats basically saying that singleness is second best. There are TONS of books on how to catch a guy, or how to be happy until someone comes along, Or my personal favorite is the people who tell you to just stop looking because thats when they found the right one. After all love just happens to us like stubbing our toe.
Well I won't go off here about my ideas of love, but I would like to share about my discovery that God has something better. I was talking to my brother and his new wife as I caught a ride from them into Kansas City after their wedding. Jon shared with me that before he found Rachelle he would pray for his future wife every day. I had heard that before, but it was when he told me that if that wasn't what God had for him, then God had something better, and he was excited to see what that something would be. This guy wasn't moping about trying to find peace about something that was second best, something he was settling for. He was excited to see what that something better was going to be. And now so am I.
Thanks Jon and Rachelle for sharing with me and impacting my life so.
