Words

I thought this was worth sharing. I've had the chance to

talk to a lot of women lately about dating/marriage/& being single.

At the Love & Respect conference I attended this past weekend,

I gained a lot of insight as to what marriage should look like. 

[This ministry is great, by the way.] One of the things that resonated 

most strongly for me was what Emerson said about growth & having

your heart changed. He said, "Don't focus so much on what you

want the other person to be hearing or learning that you miss out

on what God is trying to have you hear or learn." I've

realized that this is exactly what I've been doing. I pray so 

much for God to speak to him; to grow his heart closer

to His. All the while I miss out on my own potential for change.

There's nothing wrong with praying for another person, but I

have to trust that God has the power to get through anyone's heart.

Including my own.
