It’s a Date!

All day I have had things on my mind. You know that funny little picture going around about Ruth waiting for Boaz? To all women who are in a hurry to have a boyfriend or get married, a piece of Biblical advice: "Ruth patiently waited for her mate Boaz." While you are waiting on YOUR Boaz, don’t settle for any of his relatives: Broke-az, Po-az, Lyin-az, Cheatin-az, Dumb-az, Drunk-az, Cheap-az, Lockedup-az, Goodfornothing-az, Lazy-az or Married-az and especially his third cousin Beatinyour-az. Wait on your Boaz and make sure he respects Yo-az... There it is. Well it’s been weighing heavily on my mind. Basically because well... I was asked out. Like a real date. According to Webster’s’ a Date is defined as a noun

a:  an appointment to meet at a specified time; especially:  a social engagement between two persons that often has a romantic character

b:  a person with whom one has a usually romantic date.

So I’m going on a date! And I am super excited! I have a babysitter lined up thanks to one of the fellow mamas at church. And it doesn’t interfere with me going to the women’s conference. Now, a few know that I have changed my life and the way I pray for things. For example, it has been my earnest prayer that God send me the man that was custom designed by Him for me! And to take it further my prayer has included daily for the last 6 months: Make this man appear as if out of thin air, I will do no door opening. It will just open. So my friend set me up on a date. And I have legitimately enjoyed phone conversations with the gentleman. And I am literally not kidding you in the last week. I have heard from just about every ex I have ever had! What in the world! When the well is dry and I’m not looking my phone is eerily silent. NOW? Not so much. What’s a girl to do? Well here’s what this girl is doing, GOING on a DATE! What’s the worst that can happen? I might actually enjoy it! Oh and another date is approaching the date of my divorce! I cannot wait until next week. I will be officially unmarried. I have been single and alone this whole time, but couldn’t afford the divorce! Finally! Here I am getting it!
