He’s in the Waiting (Waiting on Mr. Right)
As women we find ourselves stressing over who our husband to-be is. Have you ever thought that Mr. Right is in the waiting? Why, of course I’ve thought that! But have you thought of why? The oh-too common prayer, “God, send me my husband,” has gotten entirely too old. Perhaps, our husband can’t be sent to us because we’re not ready to receive him.
