perseverant and romantic

God is perseverant and romantic.
Did you know that? He is!
I mean think of the garden of Eden, His masterpiece, what did he put in there? Missionaries, pastors, worship leaders? Nope.
He put in a man and a woman.
God is romantic.
I can just see His excitment when Adam´s eyes met Eve´s for the first time. Eve blushed, Adam´s hands got sweaty. What beauty, what perfection! Romance filled the air.
And God saw it and said: "It is good!"

And that is basicly the reason for His desire for me to remarry. No big, complex ideas behind. God is romantic... that is all.

And He is perseverant. I mean, He asked me to remarry about 7 years ago! And has not taken a NO for an answer. Instead He has been working in my mind and in my heart. He has used all kinds of people and situations to bring me to this present stage of saying "Yes, I will marry again."

Amazinly some of the people that He used were some of my students. I give private English classes. And for some "unknown reason" these students were really interested in my getting married again.
There was this one guy that constantly thought of guys he knew "he is a good guy, he just needs a wife"... he got me in some sticky situations, but I managed to move on.
And then there is Berny, I will use her name, this story wouldn´t be the same without her name. I will never forget my surprise when on our second class- beginning our second class-she blurts out: "I am asking God to give you a man. You are just to special to be walking down life alone."
EXCUSE ME???? PLEASE REPEAT????
For the following year and a half that was her main quote. God used her a lot. My husband will have to give her a present of some sort. She didn´t take my "no", she would just go on "it is so nice, after a long hard day´s work to go to bed, with someone who loves you by your side. You have to get married."

Berny and her husband took me to the airport when I came to Mexico. They are a nice couple, and good friends of mine. May God bless their marriage.

There were many people used by God to open my heart and my mind to marriage. But God takes the biggest credit of all.
My perseverant and Romantic God, may my love story warm your heart.
