I know it has been a seriously long while since I have posted on this blog. Life has just been crazy busy lately. We can blame this partially on the fact that last week my sister got married!!!
It was a beautiful wedding. I could not be more happy for Mr. & Mrs. Grooms!
The ceremony sparked some deep emotions in me and I thought back to my own wedding to my sweet, amazing husband. In that moment, watching my sister say her vows I was so thankful that the two of us didn't settle. We didn't settle for anything less than the man that God had for us.
Yesterday, I saw on TV an interview with Trevor Bayne.
It reminded me that there are still good guys out there. It seems that girls date whomever they want to by using the excuse that there are just NO good, Christian guys left. Its not true and its not a good excuse. By the way, if more girls would sit down and be ladies, more guys would stand up and be gentlemen.
If we believe the Bible we can find numerous verses that remind us of God's plans for us.
God had Zack prepared for me. I believe that wholeheartedly. I'm so thankful that I didn't waste time with guys who were clearly not "THE ONE".
When I was in high school, I dated quite a bit, but, I never wanted to be serious. I never told any guy that I loved him and no relationship lasted longer than 2 months. As soon as I knew that I couldn't possibly spend the rest of my life with whomever I was dating, I immediately called it off.
This saved me from so much heartbreak.
When Zack entered my life I had my entire heart to give him.
If your heart has never been broken, be so thankful. Don't sit around wishing you had a boyfriend and all the drama that comes with it. Instead, focus on becoming the woman you want to be when God places the perfect man in your life. Remember to guard your heart.
Proverbs 4:23 says, "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."
If your heart has been broken, look to God to heal your wounds. He alone can make your broken heart like new and give you the strength to love again. Don't regret the heartbreak either. God is using your heartbreak to teach you and grow you. He is making you into who you were meant to be.
For those of you that are in a relationship that needs to be shut down I have some strong, hard words to say to you. Break up now. Ouch, I know. I'm sorry, I really am. I have watched so many friends waste time with the wrong guy. They experience the hurt over and over again. I read this once and it sums it up pretty perfectly. "A bad relationship is like a loose tooth. It’s annoying, but you keep playing with it because its there. You are afraid to pull it out because you know that its going to hurt. Eventually, you pull it out. It hurts very badly and it even bleeds a little. The bleeding stops and the pain subsides. Now there is room for something new, stronger and beautiful to grow."It is very frustrating to watch someone stay in a bad situation when they know they should leave. It would be better to have a couple months, maybe even longer than that where you are healing and hurting, rather than a lifetime of unhappiness. Do not stay with someone just because you are comfortable with them. Sometimes love isn’t enough, and its ignorant to say that love is all you need in a relationship. A healthy relationship is based on commitment, respect, adoration, stability and trust. Those are the components of a good and loving relationship. As a woman, I would not be willing to settle for less than what God has for me. You shouldn’t either.
Its true. God has someone for you!
You need to trust Him. Be patient, because it will be SO worth it. I can promise you that.
I needed this tonight... thank you. :-)
