And Focus More On Becoming The Right Woman

Why You Should Worry Less About Finding Your Prince Charming
Paul C Brunson

Hello there. You. Yes, you! The one that's looking for the perfect man. The girl that's waiting for prince charming to walk up and take her breath away. The one that thinks she needs a man to fill that hole in her heart. The one that searches for the right guy in all the wrong places, yeah, I'm talking to you.

I was where you are until about four months ago. I was you until I realized that I couldn't search for the man of my dreams until I became the right woman. I was right where you are now not too long ago... Being in that place isn't fun. Being in that place wastes a lot of time. So, if you are the girl that has been searching for that one guy, stop. Stop searching right now. And let me tell you that you have bigger things ahead of you, girl.

You will not find him until you have found Him. Let me say that a different way. You will not find the right man for you until you find God. You will not find your future husband until you focus on becoming the woman that God has taken so much time to perfect. God has meticulously been working on a plan for you since before you were thought of by people on this earth. In Jeremiah 1:5, Jesus tells us that He knew us before we were formed in our mother's womb. He tells us that He set us apart before we were even born. Wow. Just take a second to think about that... Jesus' heart throbs for you and I. He wants girls like you and me to fulfill the plans that He has made for us. To the girl that is set on finding a boyfriend, please listen to me when I say that God has a plan for you.

You won't find Mr. Right until you become Mrs. Right. You won't find the good Christain man until you become the good Christain woman. Do you see a pattern here? I do. I saw that pattern for too long, and I am so thankful that the inspiring words of my dear friend Katie Bulmer stopped me from searching for a man. God helped me realize through her testimony that I needed to stop pursuing a man, and start pursuing Him. Because through my pursuing Jesus, He will lead me to a Godly man.

So, to the broken hearted girl who is continuously searching for "the perfect guy", please stop because I have found the One. And his name is Jesus. Once you find Him, I promise all else will fall into place. I know it may sound easier said than done, but it is so worth it. When you live your life for Him, He will put the right people in your life including the man of your dreams. But this time, the "man of your dreams" will be the right man.

Stop searching for him, and start pursuing Him.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
