I’d just like someone:
To drink black coffee with,
And run through thrift stores,
And stay up late reading the Bible,
To hold hands with,
And sing Hall & Oates songs out of key,
To travel the world with,
And compulsively watch 500 Days of Summer,
And to share my growing, glowing happiness with.
And you know what? It’s been a long time. A long time. But I’ll wait, because every prayer, inner nudge and promise tells me that God’s next pick is going to be beyond anyone I imagined.
single·ness (noun)
1. A time to discover God’s will for your life, grow into your own person, travel without abandon, flourish in self-confidence, and become the Proverbs 31 woman you were meant to be.
2. Not a time to wallow, become restless, get angry, or settle for anything less than the man who has been chosen for you. Most of all, this is a time that shouldn’t be taken for granted.

I know God has given me this singleness to strengthen my heart and my relationship with Him ‘n all,
but, dang, is it difficult to deal with sometimes. I am sitting here watching Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist and all I’d like is to share it with a special dude — even though my sister is here visiting.
Yes, I feel ungrateful.
Yes, I feel needy.
Yes, I feel weak.
It’s just frustrating meeting a long string of Mr. Wrongs. I’m twenty years old and I’ve never had a God-centered relationship. Yet I desire one, so much.

My favorite picture from New York (besides all of the Adam Levine shots, of course. Ha!)
I have mixed feelings about being home today. Of course it’s nice to be back in my own room, in my own bed, where I know where to go. However, I miss the vibrance and energy of the city. I have to go back, and soon, because I left a part of my heart there.
I haven’t really felt lonely for months, but as I roamed the streets of NYC at night time, it hit me — hard. How nice would it be to have a guy to share the city with? To picnic with in Central Park and maybe share a kiss at the top of the Empire State Building? It’s tough, and sometimes I have a hard time acting like I’m content with my singleness. Luckily, the vast majority of the time I don’t have to “act” that way — I truly am happy with my status in life right now! However, the city brought something out in my heart that I couldn’t ignore. The road to May 17, 2012 is going to be a long one, full of emotional ups and downs, tests of my will, and more. Regardless, I made this commitment to explore the perks of the single life for a year and I fully intend on holding up my end of the bargain.
I know that God has selected someone for me and I may meet them tomorrow, next month or two years from now. I know this, yet I still find myself frustrated at times. I should actually be rejoicing that all of the stressful work of meeting someone has been fully lifted out of my hands!

I picked up this wondrous book at the used book store today for a mere $2.99 and I am already hooked! I feel like I need relevant reading material to help support me and encourage me on my one year dating hiatus(or “guy-atus,” you might like to say!) to prevent set-backs and mistakes. So far, so good, — but you never know when temptation and testing is right around the corner, you know?
This book has already opened my eyes to the fact that I have done everything wrong concerning relationships in the past. Everything — and I’m only through with the first two chapters. The author doesn’t guilt trip; only enlightens. Reading “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” is a truly humbling and educational experience. I know my horizons are being broadened with each and every day.
I no longer view my single-dom as a “waiting period” meant to be merely lived out in patience and repression. God gives us our single years for so many amazing reasons — to learn, serve, grow, cultivate friendships, travel, and many other activities that may be less do-able within committed relationships.
I’m so glad I’m on the road to cherishing these years, rather than bitterly despising them as I have for so, so long.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day :)
