Running to Jesus

Last night I caught part of a radio show on Positive Life Radio, and it was about Christian singles. I can't remember what one of the men said word-for-word, but he said something basically along the lines of run as fast and as hard as you can to Jesus Christ, and while you're running, if you happen to see someone else running with you, take a second look.

That statement is very revelant to my life right now. I know that since I've been a single woman, God has a list of things He'd like me to figure out and accomplish before He brings somebody new into my life. Therefore, it's my job to really focus on myself and get in touch with what God wants me to do. I think that at this point, I've done a very good job with this. I have been studying the Word, reading books that are relevant for my life, staying very obedient to God, and figuring out the steps to making myself and my life better. I'm on a journey--hopefully a quick one. Maybe that's why some people have huge amounts of time between relationships; they just take a long time to do what God's waiting for them to figure out. Just a thought.

I'm not saying I expect a new relationship any sooner than anyone else or any sooner than God has planned, for that matter. I think I'm just making sure that I take this time in my life and educate myself as much as I can. I'm all about learning right now. Whenever I am talking to someone about something new I've learned about life/my life, I refer it to "taking the next step" which makes it even more ironic that I listen to a radio program that symbolizes a Christian single's life as a journey of sorts.
