Dear Lady. Ann:
Please join me in praying for myself and my future husband. I was engaged twice before. First time I proposed but didn’t know any better, Young and dumb. Second time I was proposed to, God blocked the marriage and I’m forever grateful. He was already in the system as a married man and I didn’t know it. He was also cheating on me with a family friend who after we broke up, I found out she was pregnant. I was angry and heart broken but God. God opened my eyes to the blessings and lessons I discovered from that relationship. I date but I have also been quick to block a man’s number. I don’t have time to waste dating anyone with poor intentions. I am a single black woman raising my Son. I will submit to the right one and since my last relationship, my focus has been and is submitting to Jesus and loving the one who loves me in spite of me.
Dating men that I know go to church and pray hasn’t been that easy because not all men that go to church and pray are God sent. Devil goes to church and knows His word too. I’m tired of being told I’m “wifey material” yet not being found worthy of full commitment. It’s annoying. Currently dating someone, social distance dating is helping us not to rush into anything but it also makes it a little hard to determine if he is a man of his word because we have not really been around each other. I do recognize that he is very observant and pays attention, and asks about my family like they’re already his own. I pray God’s will be done in this relationship, whatever it maybe and that if he is not the one then for God to reveal it quickly so we are not wasting each other’s precious time here on earth. Thank you
