Thoughts

I couldn’t help but think tonight that even though I am excited to date someone and get married someday, I’m also grateful for this time of singleness in my life. However, I know this time isn’t going to last forever so I kind of just want to take it all in and enjoy it. I want to enjoy being able to form solid friendships that will last even when I do start dating someone. I want to enjoy hanging out with friends who are also single because they too will someday be in a relationship and many of them may be in relationships before me. I want to enjoy being able to put all my time into my relationship with God and family and friends because whenever I do start dating someone that will be a pretty big time commitment. I don’t want to look back on this time in my life and realized I wasted all the fun I could have been having wishing for a guy to come along. I want to look back on this time of my life with no regrets and great joy knowing that I spent it with amazing friends who really do mean the world to me. I also want to use this time to learn and grow and figure out exactly what God wants me to do with my time and talents.

People always say that you find the perfect person when you stop looking for the perfect person. This may be a total joke, but at this point in my life I have legitimately stopped looking. Yes, I still think random guys I see are cute, but I’m trying to train myself not to try and turn every guy I see or meet into “my future husband”. I toss around that phrase a lot and the truth is, when the right person comes along it will just fall into place. I doubt it sometimes, but God does have someone out there for me. I know this because if the person I used to want to be with was that compatible with me, I can’t even imagine how compatible my future husband and I are going to be. So I’m not looking and I’m not going to pursue anything, but I’m just going to trust that God knows what He’s doing and it will all work out.

I do hope that my future husband likes to do puzzles though! Or will at least humor me and do puzzles with me sometimes.
