I should just tell the whole story. I meant this girl thought she was the real deal. Good christian woman her faith seemed strong. I thought God had set me this girl. Well things have taken a toll for the worse. Hasnt returned my phone call. Now I am wondering did God send me this girl just to see where my faith lies. I was a bit upset I so thought God had set me this woman. For a second I started questioning is there really a God. Any opinions on this subject matter? Maybe I am being tested.

Give her time.
If, and thats a Really Big word, if shes the one, she will call.
If she doesn't call, don't sweat it.
Women are like waiting for a bus, another one will come along.
Don't get to upset.

Just keep praying, strengthen your relationship with God, keep communicating with Him, and trust that He is there for you, that He loves you and that He wants what is best for you. If she isn't the one then you move on and wait for the right one. And maybe just maybe she is but she doesn't know it yet. What you have to remember is we all have our struggles and trials. It could be so many things, and I don't know which one it is so keep trusting, keep serving, glorifying, and waiting on the Lord. His timing is perfect and you may not see it now but some day He will reveal it to you and you will thank Him. Keep praying, I am praying for you. Your Sister in Christ Katrina.
What is the main focus of all your attention? Is it God? Do you love him with your all in all? Paul tells us that it is sometimes better not to marry because a man will set his mind to keeping his wife happy and not keeping God happy. I know from personal experience that this also applies when seeking to find the right women. At one point in time it was the total focus point of my life and it pushed God to the side. Sure I still loved God but I didnt give him the devotion that he is due. I made alot of wrong choices in relationships thinking they were the right ones. I found the person that I was to bond with and become one. Try focusing on God and not getting worked up about finding the right women. God will drop her in your lap when you least expect it. It will more than likely be in his timing not yours!

I know I have mentioned this before and I'm sure Katrina, as a girl,can agree. We girls do not find desperate men especially attractive. I hope you can take that in the spirit in which it was intended, that is, to offer helpful advice.
My husband and I met purely by accident. I'm sure you've seen my story as to how we got together so I won't repeat it here. But he was not desperately looking for female companionship and I wasn't desperately looking for a guy. (Remember I didn't even date in high school.) But we got together and now we're married with a little girl.
I repeat:we met purely by chance. Neither of us had set out that day to meet someone of the opposite sex. In fact neither of us was doing anything or joining any group to try to meet someone. It just happened.

You have already gotten some good advice. Now, my advice--TAKE IT!
Relax, take a chill pill, STOP trying to force things to happen your way. Get out of the way, and let God do his thing! You cannot trust God with your life, until you surrender your life unto him.
Jesus didn't calm the stormy sea until he stepped on board the ship. He didn't step on board until the disciples gave up their own efforts and cried unto him for deliverance.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding.
DH, you should relax and listen to some of the advice you've been given. Then think about that advice carefully. You're still fairly young and there really is no hurry. That girl has free choice just like you do. Sometimes people make wise decisions and sometimes they don't. If she isn't interested, you are better off just moving on. In time, you'll look back and realize you were actually lucky not to get involved with somebody who isn't that interested.
Above all, stop thinking God is somehow testing you with some girl. God is calling you and all of us too. We need to listen to him more and obey--Life is much simpler that way. Focus on God and enjoy life.
