Waiting For The Right One

If you're praying for your future husband right now, believe that God is saving you for someone special.

Waiting For The Right One
Sally Clarkson

There are so many nights when I feel unwanted or unloved. I'm 20 years old and I've never been in a relationship. So many people I know are in relationships, are married, getting married or having kids.

Part of me feels like a straight-up loser. Throughout high school, I was the only one in my group of friends that wasn't dating someone. I was the third wheel more than once. I was so lonely. Not that I wasn't happy to see my friends happy, but it sucks being the only person without someone special in their life. I prayed so many times to God that He would put the right guy in my life in His timing. Going through my first two years of college, three of my friends got married, one got engaged, and one is now expecting a baby boy. I'm so happy for them, but sometimes I try and question God and ask Him when is He going to put that special someone in my life.

After much praying, I've learned that I already have someone in my life that makes me feel wanted. I already have someone in my life that loves me unconditionally and that's Jesus. Jesus has such a special place in my heart. While, I get impatient with the fact that I'm still single at 20, God has something so great in store for me. He wants me to work on becoming the right person before he puts the right person in my life.

So ladies, hold out for the one God has for you. Don't settle for less than you deserve because you will only end up disappointed. Your Prince Charming, future husband, man of God, is coming. Just have faith and patience that God will place that man in your life at the most perfect time.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
