LOVE

I.Am.Single. 21 years old, and not a man in sight, but you know what? That's ok with me. Don't get me wrong there are time when I struggle with being single... and going to a Christian university where the mantra for young females is "ring by spring" doesn't help my situation, but I am confident that in this time and place being single is right. But if I'm being honest, I can't wait to be married, I pray that this is a part of God's plan for me. I long for that more than traveling or career success or any other dream I might have. One of the deepest desires of my heart is to be married... to be a Godly wife to a Godly man. And to add insult to injury almost every one of my closest friend is either dating someone, engaged or married and there are days when I feel like the lone wolf... for some reason the summer was tough with this. But lately I have been feeling so rejuvenated... and I'm rediscovering my purpose... I had lost it for a little while. God is reminding me that in this time of singleness I can give him more than I ever have before. I can take the focus off of myself, and off of feeling sorry for myself and give my focus completely to God and others. My church's slogan is "Love God, Love People" and I want to adopt that as my own. This life isn't about me... it isn't about my struggles or even your struggles. Life is about love... "if I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging symbol... these three remain, faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is love". Love God and Love People.
