Anyone who knows me well knows that I practically have my wedding planned out, minus the groom. They also know that I want 9 children-God willing-and know that one of my favorite things to do is watch wedding videos on Pinterest. So, naturally, I ended up watching a few tonight and it got me thinking.
It is probably no surprise that I am at a point in my life where I long for a romantic relationship. However, I know deep down that a relationship will happen when it is supposed to happen. Rather than think about my perfect man, I need to pray for God's perfect man that He has in mind for my future husband. It doesn't surprise me that myself and friends of mine get all emotional when we hear beautifully written vows about faith, love, cherishing one another, etc. because THAT is what a committed relationship is about! It is not about cute snapchats, good morning texts, or WCW Instagrams. While those are all fine and dandy, relationships are about bringing one another closer to Christ, loving each other even when times get tough, cherishing one another and every single flaw that comes with it.
Now, I probably won't stop "pinning" some gorgeous dresses and rings, but I recognize that I need to take a step back and focus on the heart of it all--continuing to be the woman that I need to be and patiently waiting and praying that God reveals to me His magnificent plan for my life and my future.
I have planned out other times of my life, and God revealed to me an even greater plan that was not at all in line with mine. I can't wait to see what His plan is for myself, my sisters, and my friends. I am confident that His plan for my/our weddings will outshine the Pinterest boards any day!
Always stay fierce, stay fashionable, and stay faithful
