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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
