Realizing that I don't have "the gift of singleness" I began to get serious about getting myself together. Not only does that include spiritually, but physically, emotionally, and financially. It is my desire to be married and I believe that marriage is apart of my destiny. A mate who fits my purpose and me, his. I also had to revise the dreaded "list." While review some of my requirements, the Lord said to be, if you don't be more reasonable you're going to end up alone. Although I believe marriage is ordained by God, He allows us to decide who we want to love.
