Sulia took a vacation to China last year. Although this may seem extravagant to some, Sulia sees a pilgramage of this sort a necessity for her to recharge her batteries once a year. "I am almost 40," she says.
"If I sit around waiting for a mate, I may never go anywhere."
This is where I disagree. Vacation or travel time should not suspend your search for Mr. Right. You should always be looking. The man for you may live in Florida or Fijii. Oftentimes women have an ethnocentric attitude reflecting the belief that there is no man worldly enough to satisfy them. I personally know countless guys who travel all over the world; speak several languages; own land in other countries and eat everything from tabouli to kangaroo.
Before you make plans for an expensive getaway, do three things to increase your chances in finding Mr. Right:
1. Seek out male expertise during the planning process. New friendships are always important.
2. Seek out Christian communities that offer networking services for mission and non mission travelers.
3. Be conscientious about meeting men who are adventurous, like you.
I learned of an advertising executive who was looking for a muscle car manufactured in the 1960's. No problem right? Only thing is, the car had to be pink.
He found the car after searching the Internet for weeks and speaking with car enthusiasts around the globe. Think how much richer life was after getting to know these new people who crossed his path. Searching for your Mr. Right may be like looking for a pink G.T.O. During the hunt you may find, blue ones; red ones; green ones; etc. Does it matter as long as you are enjoying the ride?
God's canvas is not limited to Atlanta, or New York or Maui. Think internationally, network globally. Dare to meet the nephew of the little old lady who happens to have grown up in Japan and has family there.
Mr. Right is not going to arbitrarily knock on your door. Nor will he crack the shell of your comfortably decorated coccoon. Meeting new people in Christ is never a bad thing. Your Mr. Right may be on your next flight.
Let Us Pray: Lord, even when I travel and enjoy your creation I am lonely and seek a mate. Please give me the courage to meet new people, expand my horizons and experience the family you have waiting for me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Tip: When planning your next trip, connect with faith communities in advance of your arrival. Offer to volunteer, even for a day, during your time in a foreign land. You may meet the right man for you.
“Do you know any single guys like you?” I’m flattered by the compliment and I empathize with countless hapless females who are dating the wrong men or fending life alone. Groom ME will help you understand men and learn your mistakes in finding a husband. Would you buy a car without doing research? Don’t you invest in stocks that are appreciating? Didn’t you hire a professional trainer to sculpt that perfect body? Follow this forum and you may be a kiss away from your prince charming.
