The Center of My Life

Since we were 10, us girls have thought about that special day.
The day we leave our families,
change our last name, 
and spend the rest of our lives with that young man we thought only existed in our dreams.

We plan that day as if it's in a couple days
from who are bridesmaids will be, 
what are dress will look like, 
right down to the colors and flowers we will have. 

We knew what kind of house we wanted to live in, 
how many children we would have  
and we even picked out names for these children.

It's in woman's nature to be a wife and a mother. 
Even the bible talks about all that woman should be...
A submissive wife and caring mother. 

We get our hopes up so high trying to find this "soul mate"
And many of times we let guys get the best of us 
and we are left heart broken and doubting such love exist. 

Don't leave me hanging. I know I'm not the only one. 

I thought I was going to marry him.
In fact I had what I like to call "wedding fever". 
It was bad. 
I was addicted to Pinterest....

I was so wrapped up in this idea of marriage, I completely forgot my true purpose in life.

I've seen it happen time and time again. 
Girls make a man the center of their life. 
Their reason for moving. 
Their reason for not going to college. 
Their reason for changing churches. 
Changing hair color.
Changing themselves.

But there is so much to life then finding a man and getting married. 

When I was 12 I wasn't called to be a mom.
I wasn't called to have this beautiful wedding. 
I was called to a ministry. 
Don't get me wrong I'm still a girl...
I still want to find that someone special...

but, someone once told me the bible says "he that findeth a wife, findeth a good thing"
Not she that findeth a husband...

Let him find you
 Rather, let God take control of it. 
And you just center your life around God and the things of His kingdom and I truly believe He will give you the desires of your heart.

Jesus be the center of my life:) 


With Love,
