Waiting Season

Today my husband and I are both veterans, and we're recovering together. It wasn't always this way. It took me doing some work on me and taking a hiatus from dating. My picker was broken. I was picking the wrong ones, and that was the problem - I would do the picking. I had to take a break. I let go and was like, You know what, God? I'm taking a break. You pick the next one. I'm leaving this in your hands. Your will be done. You know what's best for me.

I stepped away from dating, from talking to anyone, from doing anything for a year and a half. A year and a half - nothing. My family was like, "You're not dating?" I would say, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I'm waiting. I'm in a waiting season. I'll know when it's time when God's ready for me to have someone. It'll come."

And then one day I was sitting in a meeting and my future husband tapped me on the shoulder and asked me for a reading. And we started laughing with each other. We've been together since then. And that's all she wrote.

In his perfect timing, God supplies my needs rather than my wants.

~Karen A., U.S. Air National Guard, 1980?1991

Today's reading is from the book Leave No One Behind: Daily meditations for Military Service Members and Veterans in Recovery*
