WHICH IS HARD TO WAIT FOR, HUSBAND OR BABY?

Waiting is never easy
I was just reminded of an article I read online 4 years ago while looking for godly views on the subject of waiting on God for a husband. As a 24 years old spirit filled lady I doubt I wanted to marry at that time (I always had my heart at 27) but understood the importance of having prior information from believers.

A question was asked on the forum “Which Is Harder To Wait For; A Husband Or A Child?” I had no business waiting on God for a child then but I could relate with the husband part. So I started reading the long thread of experiences of Christian ladies in or past their prime who had been praying for husbands, some had ministry responsibilities and could not understand why their dedication goes unseen, a few women held their last straw. Those who were married on other hand argued it was more difficult to wait for a child pressure is increased from both sides of the family, you also had to pray for your spouse to be strong for you when new couples have children and you still don’t.
A few years down the line and its amazing how I can relate, illustrate and share godly advice from either side because I have been there. I am a married woman now (Yes, God gave me the most imperfect man I so cherish) and expect to have children soon so the waiting continues in a way…right?

What I have found is that to wait for a husband is hard and to wait for a child is equally hard and both are on different levels. It gets harder when you are in expectation with an attitude of unbelief or fear or you do not have the word of God for yourself to guide you every day as you wait by faith for a husband or a baby. One thing I can tell any Christian lady in any of this situations is; God is ever faithful and the wait will be over at the right time. Now married I think if I had reminded myself enough of God's love and will for me to have a great husband I wouldn’t have tortured myself everyday with vain repetitive prayers. 
Importantly I read also that your future husband is always from a circle around your daily life (family of friends or colleagues, neighbors or your local church) but let the Holy Spirit lead you right.

The wait could be harder for women who have recently lost a baby due to miscarriage or chemical pregnancy; to experience the joy of conception only to have lost the baby before it even had a chance at life is sad and depressing. Give yourself time to heal or start again immediately with hope but enjoy and care for yourself, before you know it you are pregnant again.

No wait is easy ( even for a job, health report or for finances) but God makes everything beautiful in His time, let God take center stage and lose that desperation, anxiety, fear and depression in your life.

So I understand what it is to wait for a husband, or a child or another positive pregnancy result and it is hard I tell you; you are not alone and my thoughts and prayers are with you always.

COMFORT

Lord I tried, Sometimes it is hard to stop, breathe and live. Cares of this world shifts my gaze, Uncertainties sway me, The struggle for sustenance, what to clothe with, And the hassles to acquire abundance distress my days, As if my whole existence offered just these.   I lay down but worries outrun me, What will the outcome of my life be? I crave the highest of achievements, Oh, how I desire great influence. I fear my peers will fare better than I, Judging myself with another who is different on his own course, Vanity exhausts my days, anxiety wrinkles me.   Your percepts demands actions, So why do I nothing with that which you have spoken, But concern myself with besetting weights? I heap up substance for fear of lack, But shortage bangs my door like a friend in the morning. I deliberate your instructions, but I follow distractions which drives me aground.   My Lord, My God, Forgive me fo...

NIGERIA RESOURCES - OLD PEOPLE

‘’All these old people no dey hear word, government even suppose create new law wen go make old person dey inside house, if dem dey cross express or beg make police catch them go back to their house’’ I hear as a bus driver angrily shouts at a stunned elderly woman they had just pulled from beneath a car right in front of me. Ok let’s start at the beginning. If you are familiar with crossing crowd at both sides of Second Rainbow –Mile 2 bus stops in Lagos then you must understand how wild it usually is. This morning I needed to get to CMS so I crossed the express towards the free service lane where I catwalk to the bus park. But, before I could take the last step I heard a screech and few paces away is this elderly woman being pulled from under the same car. Where had she come from so fast? She wasn’t hurt but had to sit out the shock on the dividing pavement. So, what if there is reason to ensuring elderly people are safe at home and not under car tires as the man suggested. ...
