Okay so maybe it's not "odd" for a normal person my age...but it's odd for me. I never thought I would ever get to this point in my life...but right now, I am SO THERE!
Basically, here is what is going on in my head right now:
This is my forth and final year at Bethel, and during my time here, I've watched so many people I know get engaged...and then get married. But this semester alone, I've heard about at least 4 engagements. And this morning I woke up, turned on Facebook, and saw that two people I knew got engaged this past weekend alone. So where exactly am I going with this?...
Up until now, I have never had much of a desire to be in a relationship. But this semester, I've really been wanting to be able to say that I have a boyfriend. And now after this morning when I got the news of the two engagements on facebook, I am suddenly LONGING for it! I never thought I would say this, but I have the strongest desire to be in a relationship and get married! I've started to get a little impatient about it over the past few weeks, and I've talked a little about how I've really been wanting a boyfriend lately...but now I'm REALLY impatient, and I'm not sure what to do about it.
I think that God knows that I want to get married...and I really want to believe that He will eventually bless that desire. But I just can't helping feeling that it could very well be a long time from now. And that almost makes me sad to think about. I keep wondering why I don't have what these other people my age have. And what if I never have it? I can't even think about it.
Maybe this is a really selfish thing to be thinking about, and I probably shouldn't be so anxious about it, but I am. It's weighing so heavily on my heart. I think it's time to start praying for patience.
