Engagements/Whose Time Frame Are We Running On?

So, I have noticed that a loooot of people in my age range seem to be getting engaged and finding their soulmates. And in my insecure and lonely moments, it gets to me. It makes me scared and worried that I have not even met the kid yet (that I know of). And then it makes me start to think that maybe a good, kind, awesome Christian man will NEVER notice me......and after my fairly typical spiral of nonsense that most women my age and in and position go through, I let logic back in my head. Then, I realize that I am basing my worries and fears on a time frame that I have made for myself. Yes, many people get engaged around 21-25 years old, and many people meet their soulmate in college. But do all of them? NO. And just because my future hubby is not showing up after a bunch of other people are starting their lives together officialy, does not mean he never will. I feel like so many of us ladies worry about this anyway. I am actively trying to stop this trend though! I am so glad for the awesome couples getting engaged, and I can tell with so many of them that God put them together.  But instead of getting sad and "lonely" because of the frequency of these couples, I am going to let them inspire me instead! Instead of seeing something beautiful and thinking, "darn, I wish I could have that!", I am going to start thinking, "Yes! I will have that one day!". And until "one day" comes, I will focus on important things such as my journey and ROMANCE with GOD, school, family, my pets, volunteering, being the hands and feet of Christ, etc. etc. And somehwhere during all of that someone might be able to sneak in and pursue my heart. No more getting discouraged that I am not being pursued by Christian men, it will happen soon enough, maybe just not now. The people I wish to pursue me now might not, they probably won't, but it is nothing to be taken personally. It is just that they are made for someone else and someone else is waiting for me. Besides, God is ALWAYS pursuing my heart. And although I have been working hard to give it to him fully, I need to give it to him even more! Something I have been willing to do since last semester, and a desire that keeps growing the more I involve myself in CRU and the more I serve him. The ultimate romance is something that we all arleady have, the romance with God. Loving someone who loves God is ideal, and the three of you are in a relationship together, but the primary one is already available. The relationship with God is the most important, and is there as soon as you choose to accept it. Any other one only joins and should support the first one. So...in conclusion, I am focusing on my most important relationship first. And taking joy in it!
