And it's true! I struggle with it, and hurt, and cry, and whine, and doubt, and pray, and read, and get back on my feet. and wonder when my Someone will come along, when my story will start. But what I hadn't thought was that my story has started! This is the beginning! The preparing. The growing closer to Christ. The becoming the godly woman He would have me be (whether or not I ever marry!). All of this is the beginning of a story. My story. And yes, maybe it will take another 10 years, but this is the beginning.
Maybe you're waiting too. And waiting ... and waiting. But remember that this is the beginning of your beautiful story too! Don't sit around waiting for it to begin! Start filling in your story now! Serve Him now! Work on your relationships with your family now! Learn something new now (whether it involves future "wife skills" or not)! Find a girl to encourage now! So much can be done now as you are in the beginning of your story. This "prologue" might last longer than you thought it would ... lol But it's still part of the story so don't take away it's importance to the beautiful story. :)
With Prayers, Sarah
