I Have a Tendency to Make Myself Laugh

I Don't Hate Much... But I Hate This Like I Hate the Devil

I’ve been not really sure what to write about all day. I’ve tried my best to think of a great topic. I’ve even read my favorite blogs for inspiration and nothing has come out of it… until now. I am sick of people trying to set me up. Throughout my adult life I have been in and out of phases of people trying to set me up. And seeing that out of my friends (in my age group) I’m the only single one (with the exception of 1 person) people feel the need to suggest people to me. Now bear with me on this: I’ve always been an old fashion girl. I believe that it is the mans responsibility to initiate the relationship… hopefully you are following me here. So then why is it that everyone wants to tell me what guy I should be with but nobody tells the guy (not that I want them to). I’m just frustrated because everyone tells you to be patient and then they bombard you with, “you would be so cute with him” and “what do you think about this guy” questions/comments and I hate it. It doesn’t matter that I tell everyone I’m not looking/ready for a relationship yet. People still want to put in their two cents and then if someone stumbles or rushes into a relationship they all think, “what a shame” (thank God I’ve never made that mistake). I have never been the kind of person/friend (and never will be) that tries to get people together. I see people I think would look great together but who am I to tell them that? I’ve even had friends who have been practically in a relationship with someone (or just spending a lot of time with someone) and I’ve known about it simply by observing and have never said a word. There’s a good chance that all I would be doing is distracting the person from what God’s purposed them to do now. Am I saying that I’ve been distracted? To be honest sometimes. I know what people say about me and whom they all think I should be with and for a split second (sometimes longer) I wonder if they’re right. But then I realize that I’m only 21; there is no reason for me to rush in to love unless it's God's will. Why cant I just love Jesus and give the man of my dreams a chance to be completely ready for me? I don’t understand why everyone is so interested in me finding someone.  If you have mentioned something to me about someone or tried to set me up please don’t think this is a personal attack on you. Believe me it’s not. I’ve just had so much of it in the past 48 hours that I’m about to explode. So to my friends who read this blog: please be careful when you say things to me (or anyone for that matter) let God do His work. No matter how right you think you are (I’ve been set up before and although it looked like the perfect match it wasn’t God’s will). And to those who have been bombarded with this as well stay strong. Please don’t allow yourself to be distracted from what God’s called you to do. Don’t let what people say you should have change your mind about what you know God has for you. And also just cuz someone looks perfect doesn’t mean he is for you. There are a lot of good Godly men out there… and they are not all for you. Please don’t assume he’s the one because he’s Godly. If it's God's will it will happen in His time and I will be happy. But don't bother me with details of something that may never be. Sorry for the rant but… well that’s all I can do well today. Peace out suckas! Linz
