Marvelous Epiphanies.

Tonight we (our group of girls) were discussing our woes, crushes, and frustrations when it comes to certain boys.  As we were talking about everything and analyzing every single thing these certain boys did, it finally hit me:


We were being completely ridiculous.


We are young, fun, crazy girls.  We don't need to worry about finding the perfect guy, or any guy for that matter, right now.  We are at college and need to be making awesome memories together while we're single.  


I realized that it was silly to wonder why other girls have already had 8 bajillion boyfriends in the three weeks we've been here while we can barely manage to talk to guys.  I finally understood that it's because we don't need to be making memories about lots of boys.  When we find the right guy for each of us, the memories of past guys won't mean anything; the only ones that will matter will be the memories made with each other.  


We all have been promised that we'll get married at some point in time when we're ready.  Why are we making it our responsibility to decide when exactly it is that we'll be ready?  All we need to be doing is having fun, being ourselves, and developing ourselves and God will do the rest.  If we put ourselves out there and don't try to be something we're not, God will lead the right person to us and we'll be ready for him when he comes. 


It is so nice to finally have this hit me.  I am so tired of wondering why no boys show interest in me past the point of friendship and it's because I'm not ready to find that one guy yet.  Yeah, it would be nice to go on dates and know that boys like me, but for me, it may not be time for that.  This is the time that we need to be having fun and discovering who we really are.  I love epiphanies like this!  They make life so much easier!  Granted I may forget this, but that's why I am writing a blog - so that I can't forget the little bit of knowledge I received tonight!


Now I can go to bed :]




P.S. If any boy reads this, don't think I mean I don't want to date.  Feel free to ask me out ;]
