Waiting for the right time for love to come around can be difficult. Writing this poem was one of the ways Angel Leya coped.

Looking for Love

Lonely, waiting,
Hoping you’ll be supplied.
Life mate, soul mate, best friend.
I’m waiting for you,
Praying for you.
Will you ever come?
My life support is God.
I can’t have what I need
Until I have Him.
Like a body without a heart
I can only function so long,
And then I die.
Only sixteen. Society says wait.
I will wait.
Can’t put anything in your place.
So I will wait for you.

Yes, at just sixteen years old I was fairly consumed with trying to find my husband. I prayed for him nightly that God would watch over and protect him. I wondered many a time if God actually had a husband in store for me, though I felt very strongly that I was destined to become a wife and mother. My timetable was not God’s, and I had to wait longer than I would have liked, but God knew what He was doing by making me wait.

What have you had to wait for or are you still waiting for? How do you deal with the uncertainty of not knowing if or when it will come. Let’s talk about it in the comments below.
