The day before, I went out on a limb and told him we don’t talk anymore. Don’t get me wrong, there were good times and he did some wonderful things, but life happens in the small moments; in the everyday. The curious thing though, is the good small moments don’t carry as much weight as the bad small moments. To learn what happened, I spent a lot of time with a trusted counselor and finally responded to God’s love.

Not that He can’t or won’t, but it’s pretty difficult to meet someone sitting on your couch waiting for the doorbell to ring. But if your goal is to meet new people you need to find new opportunities. Now before you roll your eyes and think online dating is for people who can’t get a date. I know meeting new people, especially people to date, is not easy.

But, if you can’t honestly say you’re content where you are, that’s probably a good indicator you’re not ready to date. Andy Stanley once said, “Your single season is the best time to become the person, the person you’re looking for, is looking for. I don’t know what that might look like for you, but for me, it meant finding an exercise routine that I liked and one that fits my schedule. Instead of investing in myself, I invested in the pursuit of someone who I thought would fill my empty bucket.

Therefore, it’s safe to assume He’ll use more than one path for us to find Mr. or Mrs. Christian Right. Your one-and-only will only be your one-and-only when the two of you have His confirmation that the joining of your lives in marriage will further His cause. It is true God doesn’t need anything, but this thinking implies He’s good with us using the internet to further His cause, but only in limited ways. We can use it to teach and learn all things Christian such as Bible studies, prayer requests, and even encouraging posts about your single life, but He’s not okay with a man and woman meeting on the internet. It’s clearly possible to date only one person in your life who ends up being the love of your life.
