So yesterday I was looking at the msn webpage and there was this link on how to get a man in 30 days. Interesting I thought....but not practical for my satisfaction in singleness life. But curiosity got the best of me and of course I clicked on the link to see how to get a man in 30 days. I mean according to this article its fail-proof....BUT sadly unbiblical and worldly. It suggested things such as get yourself out there on the internet by joining and internet dating site (now I do not think its all that bad and have friends that its worked for), giving your most sultery smile, excercise to make your body look great, answer to college/rsvp invitations to get yourself out there, and there were more I can't remember. I was reading the article in awe...I mean do these tips really work? I am not going to sit here and find out.
The world has a view that every girl has to have a guy...and every guy a girl. The questions at weddings, if you have a sibling or best friend getting married, is "so when is going to be your turn?" OR after being gone from your hometown for months, "So is there any one special in your life?" My answer usually is "I dunno" and "No." Lately, the answer has been "I am happy being single and in no rush to get a boyfriend." The worlds society, to me, makes a girl feel useless without a boyfriend and husband. The world's view makes an inncoent girl feel useless is a guy does not like her.
I am 28 years old, never really had a boyfriend, never have held hands with a guy (unless in prayer time), and never kissed a guy. My view of singleness has totally changed since I moved away from home. i always thought that a guy would make me happy and that he would complete me. I thought I couldn't live unless I had a boyfriend, a guy liking me, or a future husband. But, through several heart breaks and broken friendships and the love of a Pastor and his wife, as well as the patiens and guiding hand of a loving FATHER my view of realationships have changed. I do not have to have a man in my life to make me happy---that man can fail me and disspoint me...even if he does love me. The only person that makes me complete is my BEST FRIEND, my KING OF KINGS, my HEAVENLY FATHER, my SHEPHERD---the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Someday I pray (and I pray often) if its the Lord's Will that He will prepare me for my future husband. In the mean time am not going to join e-harmony (although I did one time), or bat my eyelashes, or use my body to catch myself a man---that is the unbiblical way to have a man notice you. I want a man to notice me for my LOVE FOR GOD, my HEART TO SERVE HIM, and even my quirky SENSE OF HUMOR.
Thanks for reading my ramblings tonight, but this was something that was on my heart yesterday and today....love you all that read my blog! I hope that it is a blessing to you
(((and as a side note....I still haven't perfected the being content in my singleness thing...there are time I struggle there are times I am great with being single...but thats human nature for you....I just know in my life right now GOD IS ALL THAT I NEED).
