I was reading my daily devotional and it related Sarai and Hagar's story to patience. We should wait for God's plan and not our own b/c our plan may lead to heartbreak and undesired consequences. A question the devotional asked me was, "What does your heart desire right now?" My answer was Mr. Right. I need to realize that God has chosen someone for me and I must be patient, b/c if I am hasty and let myself pick someone, it may end up with divorce. I know that marriage these days is likely to fail... so why set myself up for failure? I need to trust God and be PATIENT. It referenced me to Jeremiah 29:11-13 and basically I need to follow the Lord with all my heart and He will hear my prayers.
