The Lord God said, “It is not good (beneficial) for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper [one who balances him—a counterpart who is] suitable and complementary for him.” Genesis 2:18

Eve was created for Adam, the other creatures who roamed the garden were not a suitable life-mate, to this I can relate.  The bible does not read that God performed a marriage ceremony; they never chose each other.  I didn’t enter this world a full-grown woman perfectly created for the man that stood before me. Our love was of the forbidden tree and now we are both out of the garden, carrying on with life on separate journeys. I’m divorced two years now, still reeling and healing from the trauma of unhappily ever after. Dating has been a disaster and I found myself being pulled back underneath the tide of familiar waters, panicking, I almost drowned. Cried out to God in my distress and Jesus was the life jacket.  So yes, Being single again has been difficult, yet profoundly liberating. Taking care of yourself, satisfying yourself, entertaining yourself, while uplifting others who may need help. I am complete in CHRIST, the biggest part of Christy is he. I have grown and learned to focus more on healing than forcing relationships and people into my life that no longer fit or could be nothing more than temporary, placeholders for the real thing that God has shown me. He gave me a vision of the provision and plans for my life, just like he had shown Joseph preceding the pit and prison before he entered the palace.  I hold onto this tightly remembering the promise prevents me from settling and sulking in disappointment. There is so much more to life than living for a romantic relationship and casual sex. While I wait to get to the glory part of my story, God is taking me on the scenic route, empowering me, teaching me, and preparing me for my place in the ministry. There’s more to me, the best is yet to be. The mate that will bring balance and help will reveal himself to me eventually. I know he is out there in a deep sleep while God is restoring and recreating me. As The Journey continues.

So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam; and while he slept, He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. And the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man He made (fashioned, formed) into a woman, and He brought her and presented her to the man.
