I'm Praying For Him
alovelycalling

Yes, I will call you “no one” until I know exactly who you are. I will let you float around my imagination until you become real. I search for you in the little things that I do like when I write little love letters to you occasionally, in hopes that you’ll possibly pick one up and read it, or when I unwind at my favorite cafe. Maybe you also sit in one of the tables at the cafe, or watch me write these letters. What if you are reading this article? Who knows?

To say I think about you even though we have yet to cross paths is pretty funny but also very true. I wonder if I cross your mind as much as you cross mine. I wonder how you look like, how tall you are, what you like to do. Do you enjoy spending rainy days indoors or are you the type of person who does not mind puddles? Do you love animals just as much as I do? I wonder if you find it crazy that I pray for you and have been doing so since I was four years old, asking my mother if I too could one day be married like she was.

I pray that God continues to give me the strength to wait for you to get here, because seeing couples madly in love, married, and starting their lives together makes me envious. I want what they have, but at the same time, I know God hears me and He is not going to disappoint me whatsoever.

Isaiah 60:22 says, “… I am the Lord in its time I will do it swiftly.”

God’s timing is the most perfect thing of all. If He knew us before we were even born, then He knows exactly when we will meet. I will continue to trust His timing and trust that He has my entire future in his hands, and yours as well. I will continue to let the happy couples be happy and not envy what they have. Nor will I sit back and give myself false hopes. I will hand the pen back to God and let Him finish writing our story.

You could be here literally any day but until you get here I will continue to pray. I pray that when we do meet that I will hear God’s voice as He brings us together, confirming that you are the one for me.

Until then I promise that I will wait for you to get here, and of course pray for you every step of the way.

I have no idea where you are but I know that you are somewhere, created by God especially for me. I pray that you are not only the person that I fall in love with but also my best friend who I can tell everything to just like I do with my close friends and my sister. I hope you don’t mind sitting and hearing me ramble for hours on end.

I will leave the love that I have for you in God’s hands and let him do the work. You are worth the wait, and I will continue to wait for you until God brings you to me.

I will continue to wait and pray for you.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
