Preparing for my Equal Yolk

-Graduate high school

-Go to college

-Find significant other

-Graduate college

-Get married

Isn’t that what everyone tries for these days? Sounds like a plan right? Yeah a great one. But not the only one.

I know I’m still very young, but still, people my age think it’s crazy to “want to be alone.” No one actually WANTS to be alone, right??? But here I am, wanting nothing more. Yes, there are some perks of a relationship that would be nice (like not having to find dates to formals and date nights- the worst) but me now, at 21 years young, I want nothing more but to be “alone.”

I am loving the person God is molding me to be every single day and this journey that God is leading me on. I am honestly scared to death to search for or force any relationship that might distract me from this race to God that I am on.

There is so much beauty in loving yourself. Getting to know yourself and shaping the person you are. Being whole on your own.

Don’t get me wrong, I am still so excited and dream of what life will be like if and when I find the person God has for me.

I pray for that person. I pray that whether he is someone I may have already crossed paths with, or maybe someone I have never even heard of, that he is doing well. If he is a student athlete or diving into his books or training for a job, I pray he sticks to the bigger picture and stays hard and focused on his journey. So that when God tells me “Look up, child, here he is,” then we will both be the best version of ourselves that we can be for each other. Then together, we can lead a family through a life of love and being His hands and feet.

So for now, I will keep hard trekking on my journey. Becoming the best version of me that I can and wait patiently (okay I know what everyone is thinking, I promise I am learning to be patient) on who God has for me. I will PREPARE instead of plan, because God has already taken care of that second part. And His plan far exceeds anything I could even imagine on my own.
