So I've had some good reminders lately from the Lord. It's really easy to feel sorry for myself sometimes when all of my friends seem to be getting married or meeting that special someone. Really easy. I most definitely have the desire to someday share my life with someone. But I was reading in I think 1 Corinthians the other day and Paul was talking about how someone who is married has all of the responsibilities that come along with that and don't have as much time to dedicate to the Lord. How true! And a challenge to me to not waste this time that the Lord has given me right now. He has put me in this place in life and has endless opportunities for me to love on people and to help them find freedom in the Lord. I would not have had the opportunity to do half of the stuff I've done the last several years each of which have helped shape me into who I am and experiences that I would not trade for anything.
Maybe someday the Lord will bring someone into my life to share those experiences with me, but for right now, I'm going to trust His timing and not waste TODAY. I have the potential to have influence on at least 90 some ladies in my dorm. I don't want to miss out.
