Let these words not be some cliché: "Keep your eyes focused on God." What is quite common among young adults is that while their enthusiasm and zeal for God and His will in their life knows no equal in this world, it is very common for these same young adults to have total and utter control over who their mate for life should be. You trust God for everything else (believe me, you have taught me so much) so why not give Him control over this. That is to say, you don't sit back and expect a phone call out of the blue. Get out, be social, keep your networks hopping. Be "actively waiting" as all things with God. I am completely out of my head and heart with joy because I know God has something incredible for each of your lives. The only thing is that God has to be the complete Lord of everything in your life. Let Him drive the car for He knows exactly where to go and how to get there. /rant off (Hope, this is not directed to you but I had to soapbox/rant before I bust.)
