As a hyper-independent woman, I tend to overtly rely on myself in life in general. Of course, I rely on God. I read His Word, hear His call, then obey. But, I’ve almost always found myself relying on me, my own logic, my own rationalization, my own diskarte on getting things done.

Almost 6 years ago, I lost my ability to wait on God in the area of romance. I got severely disappointed– mind you, not just on human efforts, but on the capacity of God. I admit, I limited God. I placed Him inside a box. Even placing words in His mouth He did not utter. I misinterpreted God.
