Are You Letting God Write Your Love Story?
http://www.wallpapers13.com/3d-abstract-widewallpaper-red-roses-27669/

I'm not dating, courting or married, so I have no experience with any of this, really, but not being in a relationship gives me the advantage to understand why it is important to wait on God when it comes to relationships with guys. I've seen girls date, get their emotions attached then all of a sudden get their hearts broken in a short amount of time. My mind is struggling with the truth that my generation has been brainwashed into finding the perfect soulmate.

What exactly is the perfect soulmate? Is this soulmate made up from the secret list that we have made with all the expectations we have for "the one?"

The world tells us so many lies that even Christians have been trapped into believing our love story does not belong in Gods hands, but ours. It's like giving a baby a lollipop and telling them it's a carrot. I'll explain. My generation is brainwashed with the lie of finding "The One." We want to believe that if we keep looking, we will eventually find our true love. The world gives us a lie and tells us it's the truth; you might get hurt but keep searching and you'll find the right one.

As a girl, I know that wish of being swept off your feet by your "true love" is something that girls dream about all the time, and if you don't admit it out loud at least you know its true. Disney doesn't really help, but what can you do? Entertainment isn't perfect. (Sigh).

Here is my point: God's plan of preparation during our time of singleness has been destroyed. We weren't meant to go soul-searching and try to put the puzzle pieces together. God's plan was to use that time to mold us and build us into the person we were meant to be.

So many young people are buying into the lie that they need to find the right partner or else they will be lonely forever. I will proudly burst that bubble to say we will never be alone. If God wanted us to be alone, he wouldn't have created Eve to accompany Adam. God has a purpose for you even though you can't see it now. God is molding you in your single life, but God is also molding your future spouse as well.

The world can tell as many fantasies as it wants, but only one thing is true: no one writes a more perfect love story than God himself.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
