Marriage on the Brain: "Whether or not you have a biological clock, and whether or not it's ticking, marriage will inevitably sneak up on you. Your friends' wedding invitations will be arriving by the dozens. Suddenly, what once seemed far off and unimaginable has become very real. At this point in your life, people who find out your unattched often get the match making gleam in their eyes... At this point in my life marriage is no longer impossible. If God brought the right person into my life I could, theoretically, do something about it. This realization is exhilarating, but its also a little confusing. God hasnt brought the right person into my life. My friends who have met and want to marry Mr. or Miss Right may face obstacles such as getting their finances lined up and figure out housing, but at least they know what they have to do. They've mapped out a course. But my path isnt so clear. If you've reached the same stage, maybe you're asking the same questions i'm asking: Does the fact that i could get married mean i should make it priority to find someone? Do i assume I'll get married soon or act as if i will? What am i suppose to do now?" To sum up the chapter: "Even though we dont know the next step in our romantic relationships, we still have work to do. We have bad habits to get rid of, good habits to develop and character to build" (Joshua Harris "I kissed dating goodbye")
So with 3 weddings coming up in the next year or so...i can see how things are beginning to change. I am so excited for all of them and i cant wait to hear all the planning and maybe as helpful and supportive as i possibly can. But when people so close to me are getting married it makes a person wonder "when is it my turn?" Ya know what...it doesnt matter. I have more important things to worry about! Wahoo! Joshua Harris said things so perfect, i was kinda amazed at how he had the same questions and insights that i do. Ok i'm sure you're all bored with this already but its way more exciting then hearing about my boring days of work. If anything I enjoy sharing my thoughts with myself..haha. Have a great weekend friends. :-)
