A Lady In Waiting?

Proverbs 18:22 says "He who finds a wife finds what is good."  Proverbs 16:9 says "In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps."  And Psalm 27:14 says "Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. "

If you are a single, Christian woman, you have read, heard, and probably been quoted one or more of the scriptures above or others listed in the Bible about being patient and waiting on God to supply your needs. In church, we are told that God wants ladies to wait patiently for Him to send them their perfect mate. However, if you listen to messages promoted by the media, waiting patiently for a man to find you is the last thing you're told to do. Things like "God helps those who help themselves" and "If you want something to happen, you have to make it happen" are being said each and everyday. This creates a dilemma for single ladies everywhere. What's a girl to do? Should you take heed to what you're told in church and wait? Or should you go out and make it happen?
