I wasn’t looking for someone, I’d given up and expected to be alone forever. I was sure there was no one who understood me, believed the same as me and was even near me. I found my gem of a man online, we just started talking and weren’t even planning on a relationship. We just kept talking and found out we had so much in common faith wise, grew up similar, only lived a few hours apart, and only one year age difference! There was no way we could’ve found each other except God.

This entire video fits me to a tee. I had avoided talking to, let alone dating Christian men all my life due to a deep fear of getting hurt. A few years ago I was compelled by the Holy Spirit to form a Bible study group for singles. I suddenly felt a responsibility to talk to guys to drag them to join my group for gender balance (lol). I met a stranger at a party where everyone except him was a Christian. Once I heard he was not a Christian (plus I am older), I automatically put him in the bucket of "absolute non-candidate" in my mind. I felt so "safe" and enjoyed chatting with him so much I invited him to my group. He came and our friendship grew without pressure. Quite a few times he would be the only one who came to the group or activities so we started to connect deeper (thanks flakes!). This went on for years until he came to Christ. He officially asked me out and I suddenly started seeing him in a new light like a switch got flipped. We just got married this year and he is truly my best friend and only guy friend I ever had. Let our amazing God surprise you with the best things in life.

I had to cut off with the other guy because I felt a tug in my heart saying it wasn't right. There was nothing wrong with him. But I had to say that we could only be friends because it was long distance. And now I'm chatting with someone who lives in the same state as me. And we both prayed that one day we would marry our best friend. And he says he's at peace with talking to me. But yeah we're taking things slow.

Are you guys compatible with each other? 3. Can you both be faithful to each other? 4. Are you both attracted to each other? 5. Do you both love each other with your actions? 6.

The timing on this video was very “coincidental” that first sign that you mentioned was like a bright flashing light to me. The other night I was in the word and I had a conversation with a friend I’ve known since middle school and She told me she was a Christian and we started to talk more and things started to unfold. I got this warmth and heaviness on my heart that I usually get when the spirit of God is present and this time it was very heavy and I heard this voice that said this is your wife like on repeat over and over again. A couple months back God had revealed to me in a vision that my future wife would be dirty blonde with blue eyes and it so happens to be that she had dirty blonde hair with blue eyes. I’ve been praying for confirmation and I prayed last night for it and this popped up the next day. The crazy part is I kept telling myself if she is it she’s the last person I’d expect.

Little Sis we have to work on ourselves with the help of the Lord. Read scriptures about what God says that you are. The Bible states that we are beautiful and wonderfully made. God brings two whole people together. Not two broken or one broken and one whole. That's not the way it works my Sister. The purpose of marriage is to do the Will and Work of the Lord together. God gives the man the vision. We are the helpmeet to that vision given to him by God. That is the purpose. You're only 22 so you are still young. I would suggest truly focus on getting my education, then employment. I would keep occupied by working in the church serving the Lord. He will come when the time is right. Marriage is work. It's 2 people becoming 1 to serve the Lord. When I was your age, I purchased 2 books by Dr. Myles Munroe. Understanding the Purpose and Power of Men. Understanding the Purpose and Power of woman. I would also suggest attending singles class. If a person can not commit to God during their single years, one will not be able to handle the marriage years. When I was your age, after researching marriage and the standards/requirements God expects... I was like no way! Now, you may not feel that way after researching God's requirements and expectations. Marriage is way way more than just a wedding ceremony. I say all that in love and experience. I am twice your age and still waiting patiently. Be encouraged! Be Blessed!!! Praying for you! 🙏

I will keep this in mind.

Thanks again and all glory be unto God. Amen

I met a man through a mutual friend, and this particular man did something that no other man has ever done to me before, and that is, he touched my heart and soul to the point of happy tears, and, after he did that, I put the experience in my gratitude journal, which, when I opened it, had a quote about not liking just the hand of the man, but the whole man who accompanies that hand, and I told him about this quite, and he said, the universe has a way of telling you that you’re on to something , and, I kid you not, right after he said that, I was scrolling through KZread and saw a quote about when you really want something and work to get it the universe will make it happen....I texted him that and said, well nothing because I had no words for that entire interaction with him....anyways, long story short, I feel a connection with this man, who is my dream man, and I hope and pray that God makes a way for us to come together as one 💗💙
