Stop arguing with God!

Very often we have our own view of how God should solve our problems, and we don't hesitate to tell Him what to do!

Fabian Craig-Wilson

Stop arguing with God! Sounds like good advice, doesn't it? Well, I didn't think so at the time. I was sure that I knew what was right for me. I needed companionship, a romantic relationship. I was meant to be a two, not a one.

I'd always wanted a career and had thought that marriage could wait. But then as the years went by and I was still single, it began to look as though there would be no "Mr. Right" for me and that I would have to spend my life alone.

That was my first mistake—to believe that I was ever alone, ever outside of infinite God's care or presence. I began to search for relationships. I would date a man and wonder if he was "the one." I chose friends for all the wrong reasons and wondered why I was so unhappy—why my life just wasn't working out in the way I'd planned.
