Good, Better, Best

Today at church our pastor was talking about how God has be best prepared for us and yet most of the time we settle for good instead of the best. He used this illustration that I found interesting. He said if you marry a good mate and then better comes along, you leave good and go for better, but then if you are with better and best comes along you leave better and go for best. But by then you are on your third marriage and best becomes the worst. What he was getting at was that we need to wait on God and not settle for good. We need to wait for his best for us and it is worth it in the end.

For me it seems like I have been waiting to get married forever. I know I am only 25 but it gets difficult when everyone you know is married. Especially when your younger sister is married and has a kid. It has been my dream since I was a little girl to have my own family. But more than that dream I want God's best for me. I am sure that by now I could have settled for good and be married now but I don't want to settle I only want the best. To have the best it requires patience even when I seem to have no more. The reward in the end will be well worth the waiting. God is awesome and if we just follow his call he will make our entire lives a great adventure.
