Are You Letting God Write Your Love Story?

God has a purpose for you

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
