"You're only 17!!!!"
Okay here is my response to that, yes I know I am only 17 and in some people's views that may be way too young to think about marriage and I should enjoy life man but this is what I think. It is never too early to start praying for the rest of your life. If there is some guy out there who I am going to spend my WHOLE life with then knowing He is out there makes me just wanna pray. I know it's random but sometimes I even say a little prayer like, 'Lord if he got hurt playing a sport today then please heal him,' or 'please show him I am waiting for him' or 'if there is some girl trying to get her hands on him then keep her off! *lol just kidding, I've never said that prayer* But do you realize the generation we are living in? The rate of divorce is like sky rocket high, like half of my friends don't live with both of their parents and soon vows will be exchanged from "till death do us part" to "till I feel like I don't love you any more?" I, for one, am not going to take that chance, so praying for my future guy seems like my best bet, because that way I can tell God, "yo, I ain't the one who chose him, you chose him for me so like you gotta help me deal with his imperfections" :)
Now onto number two
"So you're not gonna date until some prince charming comes along?"
Okay, you may have gotten confused here, OFCOURSE I am going to date, how else will I get married? Buuut, what I am praying for is that my first will be my last and I think my plan is friendship first mostly because I want to end up with my best friend, someone I can be super stupid around and they won't even care, secondly date a guy with who I can see myself getting married to. I really don't understand the yolo type of dating where it's just for now, or "let's see where it goes" this is is just my opinion but if you don't know where your going, what's the point? Thirdly and most importantly Jesus must be the center! Because my life revolves around him, then it would be soo weird (and that's an understatement) dating a guy whose life doesn't.
"So am I wrong to be dating?"
So I am not saying to all those lovely people who are in a relationship that it's wrong. I honestly don't think there is a right or wrong age to start dating, you have seen all those high school sweethearts who are now married with a bunch of kids and I find that super sweet. So what I am saying though, is knowing there is something worth the wait makes the waiting worth while. So whether it happens tomorrow, next year, or in five years I am totally happy waiting, and LiViNg my LIFE. Because there is so much more to life, family, friends, Jesus (*I know it's cliche but* my first love), also my dreams and stuff. Soo it's not like I am lying in bed every night singing *sigh* "Lonely, I am soo lonely, I've got nobody, all on my own" (lol remember that song #oldiegoldies)
LOL....ati kwani u r lonely.dont i jst luv ur mum...bt nway av kinda randomly become ur fan...super grt pieces.keep up.nnn ummmh kp praying 4 that guy,he needs it.
