I've been single my whole life
So, "Why have you been single your whole life?" you may ask. I'm not sure actually, but recently it has been quite bothersome. I'm a college student, who is jobless, hardly has any friends, and the only mode of transportation I have is relying on friends and family to go places. [I actually have a fear of driving but that's another story.]
I think the reason why I have been single my whole life is the fact that the area that I want to major in is Fine Arts. This can be a problem because the people that I associate with are mostly gay or rocker girls with tattoos and such. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind so much the fact that they are that way. However, none of them know God or want to know who God is.
People would say to me that I should go after girls in the church I go to. In my case, there isn't any and the ones that are just come as "visitors" or "church-hoppers" as my mom would call it. Then people would ask, "Then why do you go to that church? Go to a different one!"
My problem with this is the fact that I am the pastor's son. I am suppose to be the "example of the church" which I utterly hate more than anything. Having such a label implies so many different responsibilities that I have to uphold to and be an "example" toward other people may age. Its just not fair! Reason being is the fact that if I do one thing wrong, the whole church makes a group and has "something to say" about what I did. Also, I have been given the privilege, no, the obligation to be an audio technician for the church. So, in turn, I can't go to another church. I am stuck. It's probably the reason why I have been single for most of my life, if not my whole life.
But then I realized that I needed to shift my way of thinking so that God would line things up for me and allow me to do, have, and be anything that I wanted. Several verses, which I believe have been a strong impact upon my life, are: Joshua 1:7-9; Proverbs 21:21; and Proverbs 16:3 [My personal favorite].
The thing is, I am trying the best I know how to shift away from thinking these thoughts and to look for something greater than myself.
Sure I am single now, but I am confident that there is a girl out there for me. I can see it, I believe it and I can attract it to be part of my experience. I know for some of you, this sounds like that "New Age" crap a lot of people do, but read those verses I have shared with you.
When you begin to realize and understand what God and his son are trying to tell you, you'll begin to attract the people that you need most. Whether it be someone you want to be part of in your life or just an unknown someone who is a God-fearing person, either way, you'll attract it.
I know right now, how I am living isn't the best way to live life, but I have the power and the courage to have what I am looking for. When I do accomplish the goals I have in mind, I know for a fact that God lined it up for me to have them accomplished.
