God-centered, not SoulMateSeeking-centered
triisarahtopss (11:49:09 PM): so i went to a singles young adult conference this weekend
triisarahtopss (11:49:18 PM): i was just about the youngest person there
triisarahtopss (11:49:19 PM): haha
annagrace (11:49:32 PM): aw, haha
triisarahtopss (11:49:33 PM): so i didnt find a mate or anything which was fine and not what i was there for
triisarahtopss (11:49:45 PM): but i took plenty of things from it
triisarahtopss (11:49:58 PM): and probably the most important thing i learned
triisarahtopss (11:50:21 PM): was that we were created for our own sake, not for a spouse, friends, or family, but for our own sake
triisarahtopss (11:50:33 PM): and that we should be centering our lives around GOD
triisarahtopss (11:50:39 PM): NOT around finding a mate
triisarahtopss (11:50:44 PM): because
triisarahtopss (11:50:50 PM): once we focus on God alone
triisarahtopss (11:50:56 PM): everything else will fall into place
annagrace (11:51:08 PM): yeah… i struggle with that
triisarahtopss (11:51:14 PM): once you are eagerly going after God’s will
triisarahtopss (11:51:23 PM): it wont matter if u meet someone or not
triisarahtopss (11:51:28 PM): like it may matter now
triisarahtopss (11:51:55 PM): a speaker told a story about this woman
triisarahtopss (11:51:59 PM): joan andrew
triisarahtopss (11:52:21 PM): she went around america praying at abortion clinics and got arrested
triisarahtopss (11:52:22 PM): for a living
triisarahtopss (11:52:36 PM): so she clearly wasn’t trying to find a guy
triisarahtopss (11:53:09 PM): well sometime ago she was in florida
triisarahtopss (11:53:31 PM): got arrested for unplugging a machine in the clinic
triisarahtopss (11:53:41 PM): and the case was getting a lot of publicity
triisarahtopss (11:54:11 PM): and she was practicing passive non violence. like she was being poliet but non cooperative
triisarahtopss (11:54:18 PM): so they put her in solitary confinement
triisarahtopss (11:54:21 PM): confinement
triisarahtopss (11:54:52 PM): and then this man saw the stuff on the news about her
triisarahtopss (11:54:58 PM): and thought, u know what, ill go visit her
triisarahtopss (11:55:02 PM): so he did
triisarahtopss (11:55:07 PM): and they are now happily married
annagrace(11:55:14 PM): awwwww.
annagrace (11:55:17 PM): that’s so cute.
triisarahtopss (11:55:19 PM): so she obviously wasnt looking for a man u know?
triisarahtopss (11:55:26 PM): she as doing what she felt God was calling her to do
triisarahtopss (11:55:46 PM): and it was in his will for her, to find him or he find her
triisarahtopss (11:55:54 PM): another thing
triisarahtopss (11:56:06 PM): Adam waited
triisarahtopss (11:56:15 PM): for the gift of Eve
triisarahtopss (11:56:40 PM): so we too, should wait
triisarahtopss (11:56:51 PM): and not believe what the media and society has told us to do
triisarahtopss (11:56:59 PM): which is, go after him, be aggressive
triisarahtopss (11:57:04 PM): ect ect
triisarahtopss (11:57:58 PM): recently my heart and mind have been maturing
triisarahtopss (11:58:03 PM): thanks to God
triisarahtopss (11:58:19 PM): and I now know, that my number one desire is to follow Him and do what He wants
triisarahtopss (11:58:27 PM): if He gives me a husband, cool. if not, cool
triisarahtopss (12:05:20 AM): :]
triisarahtopss (12:05:28 AM): it’s hard
triisarahtopss (12:05:30 AM): i know
