I’ll never forget back in 2022, as a senior in high school, being asked time and time again what my plans were after graduation.. I would halfway joking, but knowing in my heart I was serious, say “I’m going to marry a rancher.”
God told me don’t go to college, don’t move, don’t plan to start a career yet… you’re going to marry your husband and start a family. And He did just that. In the summer of 2022, I met my husband and got married just a year later in the fall of 2023.
And yes, although the circumstance seemed impossible, with me being so young, had never even been on a real date, had no desire to marry any guy I had ever met, I believed for what He had promised. Not because I’m such a great Christian, but only because I knew the God I served and still serve today.
Is it easy trusting and waiting for God to answer your prayers or the promise He said He’s going to do? No, as a matter of fact, expect it will be hard. Expect resistance, and pressure from every side trying to get you to go a more “logical” way, a “way that makes more sense.” Expect to sound crazy, because having faith will always look insane to the world. God’s ways are IMPOSSIBLE, so expect your answer to seem impossible.
God is faithful, and He will do what He said He will. Our belief IS our faith. Will you choose to believe God over your own fears and worries? Will you surrender your own beliefs and choose to believe God’s truth instead?
