How refreshing to receive the insighjts from a young man who would rather listen to God then fulfill a personal urge to find a relationship. There is some very fortunate young lady out there who will praise God in the future for Craig's character. I tip my hat to you, Craig. You will be the winner in the end.

About a week ago I was on my computer and thinking of ways how to get a woman, "should I join a singles network on-line, I asked myself" the answer was no. Although I could access many single sites, why didn't I? I got to thinking and said no, I will not get suckered into joining a dating site, I already seen the arm and hand at a halt position....things started to turn around for me, do I really want to hunt down a woman that I don't even know? "I said, no". Although I am sometimes lonely, I use that time to pray, I do not believe that God intends for me to be alone all my life, I merely believe that he wants me apart from interactions with women, I know he will deliver when he is positive that I will not drift away from him, but rather be more intuned to him. And with the patience and guidance of my leader I will be obedient to his suggestions and take on whatever he has planned for me. Because I do believe everything is in God's time and not mine, when he delivers I will know! because my heart will be filled with happiness that only I and my creator will feel.
