I was just thinking today that it would be great if more Christians took a pro-active approach on getting each other married instead of passively expecting everyone to work it out for themselves with God.
Lemme tell yall what made me think about this and how someone seriously blessed me today
I go to a very large church but there's a particular guy there who I've noticed over the past year, I would catch him starin at me but there was never a good way to really meet each other so I dismissed it until I could know more about him. He's single, very cute, educated, and diligent about volunteering - we also have mutual friends. But it can get frustrating trying to establish friendships/relationships of any kind in a big church and I thought he might be too young for me. I hadn't told anyone I was interested knowing more about this guy.
So today I'm going to a class at church and a woman I'm friendly with (but we're not close) comes up and asks me if I have a boyfriend. I tell her no and she says she knows a single guy who might be perfect for me (same guy ), that he is 28 (answers that question - I'm 30) and she wants to introduce me to him on Sunday. I was so surprised and happy she would think to do that and I had to really tell her how much I appreciated it.
Another thing is I had prayed a while back that God would bring people in my life who could help facilitate the courting/marriage process with me because it is unlikely my immediate family would take that role and I admire cultures that do.
Even if nothing comes of this it got me thinking how we Christians should maximize our relationships more to help hook each other up. The bible talks about church interactions in terms of relationships and matchmaking should be an important part of that IMO. What do you think?
