Singleness... kinda!

How cute is my PawPaw?!?!
As many of you know, I was home for fall break this past week which is why I didn't spend time online... I spent time with people and LOTS of people! I got to spend time with my family and by family I mean almost all of my close extended family! It was wonderful! I felt very blessed to be able to see so many people who mean so much to me! I even got to see my 49ers LIVE and they lost, but it's okay I was with family!

Fred and Myself

I lost my voice about half-way through my trip home... I'm allergic to leaf mold among other season changing things and so my voice was COMPLETELY gone for a couple of days! I am a VERY talkative person, but loved just watching my family interact even if Fred (a girl) told me she liked it better when I could talk because she loves our conversations!

So, onto singleness... I had decided I wasn't going to write on a relationship topic for a while, but today in my Women's Ministry class I was blindsided by what a fellow classmate said and I realized I could be the girl she was referring to, if I do not change how I am now. The girl mentioned a friend of hers who was all about being the best she could be and doesn't need a man to help her do anything! When a close guy friend of hers got married she BAWLED. Yeah, that's right she cried! She realized SHE LOVED HIM! This girl had been so busy not needing a man that she realized when it was too late that she was actually in love and wanted a man. I joke often about if I ever get married or how Fred is going to get married before me even though she is 16! God has put that desire in my heart, but I don't want to dwell on it just in case it never happens... So, here I sit after being up for 14 hours with 3 hours of sleep last night thinking about how far we should let ourselves go in thinking about marriage and guys.... So, what do you think? Where do we draw the line with being the best we can be at this single portion of our lives?!
