As a girl who has been single for almost three years now, I must say that it has been without a doubt the best/hardest/most emotional time of my life. But throughout these three years I have learned so much that I wouldn't have learned otherwise. I have been humbled by the grace of God and as much as it hurt, I wouldn't change it for the world. All the time I see girls go from boy to boy, not giving their hearts an emotional break. Always having to have someone next in line to fill the pain from the last one. One thing that I have learned is that giving yourself time to heal is physically and emotionally crucial. Allowing yourself to grieve is the best thing for you. Learning that you can do this on your own gives you the best satisfaction. I think the thing that breaks my heart the most is seeing girls settle for the first boy that will give them attention. I saw this quote on Pinterest and I just love it. "You're not the kind of girl who settles. Keep not settling." Our Father wants the absolute best for us. For the girls who think they aren't worthy, I just want to tell you that this could not be farther from the truth! The Christian faith faces a lot of wrath from a lot of different people. The best thing about keeping the faith is that no matter what you do, we serve a God who continually feeds us His grace. Grace is this amazing concept that we do not deserve, yet we are so freely given. I mess up, I say the wrong things, do the wrong things at the wrong time. I am human; therefore I sin. The best thing we can do is to learn from our mistakes and to never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever give up. (words from my great grandma) It is so easy to dwell on what we don't have. But when we focus on what we do have, everything else falls into place. (cliche, I know, but it works!) While I am still waiting on other things to fall into place, there is no time like the present to prepare for the future. Proverbs 31 tells us so. So to all the ladies out there looking for the one, don't worry about that. Everything will happen at the right time, at the right place, for the right reasons.
I didn't mean to get too sappy on here, but hey what's a blog for right?? I love y'all and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week. I will hopefully be back soon with pictures and details from the Crosstown and Jimmy V Classic. We leave for NYC on Monday, so pray for safe travels and to bring back the dub!
