my friend just send me this song, "average girl" by barlow girls.
i can't lie...the song itself isn't amazing. but the lyrics are SO good. take a look!
So what I'm not your average girl
I don't meet the standards of this world
Chasing after boys is not my thing
See I'm waiting for a wedding ring
No more dating
I'm just waiting
Like sleeping beauty
My prince will come for me
No more dating I'm just waiting
'Cause God is writing my love story
Boys are bad that's certainly not true
'Cause God's preparing one for you
If you get tired waiting till he comes
Gods arms are the perfect place to run
Sleep that's the only thing
For me 'cause when I sleep Gods
Preparing one for me
what a great reminder! i know i am guilty of sometimes getting so impatient, or thinking why is God taking so long! but lately i've been very confident in the fact that God is spending time making sure me and the man i am called to marry are completely 100% ready for each other. how cool is it to think that God is working on someone right now, specifically for me. specifically for you.
and though this is easy to say, or to tell other people when they are feeling a little sad, or confused and not always as easy to believe. but seriously. God needs to fill that place in our heart before we ask any guy to do it. and even if you feel ready, maybe HE isn't. i just thought this song really emphasized that well.
right now, i'm content waiting. (not to mention i have zero time for a relationship at the moment! heh.) i can't say i will feel the same way tomorrow, or the next. but i'm learning to trust more in His plan. remember how i said that i was stuggling with that?!
i'm really trying. :)
okay, well i am off to stufy for my HUGE midterm tomorrow. i'm basically stuck cramming for the rest of the night! wish me luck!!

Remember to pray for your future husband! :) I always prayed for mine :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE barlow girls. your time will come. ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome post!! I swear we are the same person in different bodies... these are the exact thoughts running through my head on any given day :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's so hard to imagine that our men really are out there RIGHT now- but so amazing to think about too!
I can't remember where I heard or read this but I always remember this advice: If you run towards God with everything in you, one day you will look beside you and there will be someone running next to you at the same pace. Together you'll continue going towards God and that man is the one you're meant to be with. (It always reminds me that God has to be the main focus in any relationship. If we want a man who loves God with everything in him, we have to do the same!)
Tonight I'll pray for both of our future husbands :)
The meeting went well! It was just three of us because we wanted a small group doing the planning... and as it stands, we think only about 5-8 people from our Newman Center will be going. I'm still SOOO excited though!
ReplyDeleteThe only tricky part was agreeing on how we're going to get there... the one guy really wants us to drive but it's like 20+ hours and that makes me nervous. I'd love to fly but the others think it's too expensive... meh! I'm open for any help/suggestions you/FOCUS can give us! Thanks again a million times :)
Oh, and just so we don't get confused with all the commenting back and forth- my email is esalv1@brockport.edu.
YAY!
