What are the weights in your life weighing you down?
Our Campus Crusade pastor asked us this in his sermon today and at the time I couldn't figure out what it was. I prayed that I would find it and that I could trust the Lord to keep me on my path. Doubt, fear, lack of patience...I feel like a spoiled child that God looks at and thinks, "What a cry baby. Always wanting something that isn't ready for her yet." But even thinking that way, I'm still so selfish for wanting something that can't be given to me yet. I want to move past this stupid situation I always seem to find myself in. It seems to happen every four months. I hate it. I just want to be happy with the way that I am, whether it's being single, not skinny, not a straight A student whatever. I just want to be happy with what God has given me. Because he has given me so much. He's given me life so many times, he's given me friends that deeply and truly care for me, he's given me the opportunity to go to school and grow relationships with otehr christians who are in the same boat I am in. Why not throw all my insecurities, my petty wants and needs to the wind and go on with my life the way it is? Because it's that small voice inside saying you need a boyfriend, you want a boyfriend constantly taunting me. But here's the beauty of it all. When I get a boyfriend, I know that he will be sent by God. And who knows, maybe he'll be my last? I don't want a bunch of relationships that mean nothing. I want a solid relationship that means everything. And if I wait patiently, God will bring me my other half when the time is right. It hurts to not have one now, and being played with, but it's just the actions I have to endure in order to get what truly matters. My eyes are open now and you know what? I'm going to try hard to accept the way I am.
