LOVE
I know you've been hurt, and think love's not for you, but listen to your heart, and you'll know that's not true, think back to the times, when love was something new, it wasn't just a game, or something fun to do, remember when you smiled, at the thought of someone for you, God has a plan, and there is nothing you can do, except live, learn, and take it as it comes, don't turn your back on it, cause there's nowhere else to run, think of all the things you've been through, is this really what you want, when love truly reaches you, and you know you've found the One, embrace true happiness, and make 10 problems turn to none, they'll care for you whole heartedly, and help you see the Sun, when they look at you like nothing else matters, you'll know your number 1, love comes with patience and serenity, surrounded by security within, if you let fear or regret hold you back, you'll never know what true love really is, let the past be the past, and allow the future to be a mystery, if you do anything more, your present replays your history, Love will come to you at the moment you least expect, so stay open hearted/ willing, and be ready to accept, butterflies, passion, the unknown, and everything above, cause when these emotions hit you, it won't be nothing but LOVE.

I had to be honest with myself and admit that all the terrible dates were my fault. Conversation with my sister continued…
Me:how do you suggest I find a mate then? I have done everything.
Sis: except do nothing, you need to find a seat and chill out.
Do nothing? I was left speechless. If I do nothing I take a chance of missing out. Recently I ran into a article about a woman that never remarried after her husband was listed MIA by the military. She said waited 60 years until it was finally confirmed her husband had died in battle. I thought I was waiting a long time, I cant imagine waiting 60 years.That lead me to look for other examples of someone waiting for a loved one. This is what I came up with.
The Note book-Allie claimed to wait 7 years for Noah to come for her. Noah then told her he wrote her a letter a day for a year.
The Odyssey -Penelope the wife of Odysseus waited for 20 years while her husband fought at Troy and was set off course on his way home.
Genesis 29 -Jacob worked 14 years to be be with his love Rachel.
What great examples of patience and discipline. I don’t know how they did it because I find waiting a week a challenge. I guess I need to find a hobby and keep myself busy. That my friends is one of the reasons why I started blogging!

I am in my mid 20’s and in my group of friends, I am the only one single and without a child. There are days that I am grateful for the freedom that I have. There are also days when I am lonely. As I said in my last post I struggle with having patience and waiting. It is not easy for me to stand or sit still. I am always looking for the quick way out.
Although I grew up in the church my previous relationship was not Christ centered. Close to the end of that relationship I met a couple my age at my church. For some odd reason the wife invited me out to dinner with them and I accepted. I never turn down free food! During this dinner we talked and I got a chance to see them interact. It was a bit annoying and at the same time it made me happy. It gave me hope watching them and I saw the difference god made in their connection with each other.
When that relationship finally came to an end, I was unsure where I would go next. I was trying to figure out what kind of man I wanted in my life. I saw what a Christ centered relationship looked like, but I still didn’t make it a priority on my list. Dating started off simple enough and it quickly evolved into a huge drain of energy. I tried whatever my friends suggested for me to find someone. After months of failed dating out of frustration I had a chat with my sister. Our conversation went like this…
Me: I just don’t understand the men God has brought into my life. Some of them are a mess, dating is so stupid.
My sis: God brings? Wait aren't you the one looking for these guys? I don’t think God has anything to do with that mess. Lol
She laughed but what she said hit me; she was right. I was bringing the mess into my life.
