FAITH IN THE WAITING

Last Easter Sunday at the Grand Easter Feast, we were asked to reflect on what ordinary task God wanted us to do.
He told me, β€œπΊπ‘’π‘‘ π‘šπ‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘Ÿπ‘–π‘’π‘‘ π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ β„Žπ‘Žπ‘£π‘’ π‘Ž π‘“π‘Žπ‘šπ‘–π‘™π‘¦.”

It seemed like an ordinary taskβ€”something most people are expected to do. But after a series of unfortunate events, here I amβ€”still single.

I had an argument with God that day. While everyone else was praising and worshiping, I was having a full-blown confrontation with Him. For years, I pleaded that if He was calling me to single blessedness, He would take this desire away. Instead, it only grew deeper.

I was reminded to keep the faith, even without knowing what lies ahead.

Three days ago, I stood before a wedding altarβ€”the same church where I was once supposed to be wed. Instead of a white gown, I wore a navy blue dress, just one of the guests. The future still feels uncertain, but I know only God truly sees.

Maybe I will marry in a different church. Maybe with a different man. I don’t know.

But one thing is certainβ€”if God says it will happen, then it will. I just have to wait and keep the faith.
