Day 1 (Introduction)

Today I started my "Boy diet". For those of you who do not entirely understand this, let me "break it down" for you.

I am tired of trying to find my future boyfriend/spouse on my own. For the past 19 years, 6 months, and 1 day I have tried doing this all on my own. I've tried to just picture any guy that I might remotely be interested in as my future mate. God has definitely made this interesting to say the least. There are a few people who are very close to me (my mother, sister, roommate and a few close friends) who have witnessed this journey in my life. They've given me words that I would not listen to, for what I had in my head as my own thinking, but me believing it was God speaking to me, was no where near what God was saying.

Last night at around 9:30 PM (CT) I sent a text message out to a number of very close friends of mine who I know have a very intimate relationship with God. Who I knew could keep me in prayer as this chapter of my life begins. In this texts I stated:

"Today, legitly, right now at 9:30 PM on May 9th, 2010, I am going on a boy diet. I no longer want to search on my own. If God sees someone fit for me, He will provide in His time. I can't do this on my own. I am strictly focusing on God. From now until He sees fit. I am telling you, one of my closest friends, someone who I know has such a deep relationship with God. Please be in prayer for me as I begin this new chapter in my life."

I plan on journeying deeper in God's word, finding His plan for me. Growing closer to Him than I ever have before. I ask you all, whoever reads this, to pray for me to fully understand what God has planned for me through this. I know this is going to be extremely hard, for I've heard so many times that when you stop looking is when whatever you've been looking for shows up. However long God sees fit for me to "diet" is the length of this diet. I cannot wait to share what God shows through this all to me.

Today has been an interesting day. I've not been put in situations when I've been tempted as much. I know those days will come. After all, this is only day one.

I pray, Lord, that you will show yourself through me, to whoever happens to stumble upon these blogs of mine. I know I am not much of the "blogger", Lord, but I am purely the fingers you type with. Let your will be shown.
