Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favorite.

A dream I have had since I even knew what marriage was- was to find the love of my life and spend the rest of my life with one amazing man and have a beautiful family. I always said  I would get married in my junior year of college... well there goes junior year and I am definitely not married!!

For years I struggled with the thought of being an old lady who would never get married and there never  being a man that would ever want me.  But like I said, that's just a fear. Not the truth.
I look at all of these young couples getting married so quckly, and I thikn why couldn't that be MY love story? Why couldn't I get married right when I met the man? But I quickly(not easily) learned, that is not the love story God has chosen for me.

For such a long time I would get anxious about meeting "the man", and the Lord would tell me "I'm preparing him still. He isn't ready for you." and I stood upon that strong truth.  
At times, I would sit in my little freshmen year dorm room telling the Lord this was taking a very long time… But in reality, the Lord is still teaching me things. He is still preparing me for that time of life.
Just because my love story doesn't look like everyone else's, that doesn't mean I don't get a beautiful love story written by God!! It means mine is different. That's it. Mine isn't less because Its doesn't look like all the other 21 year olds girls.  It means it was created just for me!


It's amazing how God can take us to such different places in our lives, yet he still has it all planned out.
I become more and more thankful that my love story isn't like anyone else's. It is THE Love story God has written for me. And only me.
