"Action!"

Ever ask yourself the question, "Why is it taking so long to bring this guy around?" I know, I know, crazy question to be asking single gals…but humor me. J I personally have asked that question once…or twice…or something. It is all about God’s perfect and truly impeccable timing, but in our human thinking and human desires, we want it to happen "now." [Do I hear any "Amen’s"!?] We know it all in our heads and we’re doing our best to have the faith and trust and rest in the Lord, but let’s face it – it’s HARD!!!

Well, hold onto your hats, because I read something the other day that just plain knocked my socks off and I hope it will be as encouraging to you. In one of his books, T.D. Jakes eloquently describes the timeline of when Eve was brought to Adam. I think it can be applied to us single gals in waiting for our Mr. Junior Right. He said this:

"She was reserved and held until all things were in place and the stage had been set. She steps onto the stage only when every prop had been carefully contemplated by a God who cares enough to give the very best and is rhythmic enough to know the timing that is required to bring her forward in step with all that he had created."

Isn’t that beautiful!? We’re being reserved until the exact moment when the stage is set, everything and everyone is in place and God calls "Action!" Wow! Isn’t that exciting!?

Of course, while we’re in our season of being single, we’re not just back stage behind the door marked "Star" putting on our make-up, dressing in the most beautiful gown ever seen or styling our hair in the most elegant way, making sure we look our absolute best. We should be busily serving the Director in every role He casts us in. We’re never idle, but always working faithfully doing what He calls us to right now, right here, today. But it is fun and exciting to think about all the behind-the-scenes work He’s doing to get the stage set for our next season premiere!

Remember – let God write and direct your story, it will win the Academy Award, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress!
