Since I have given my life to Jesus, I have learned so much about myself, my Father, and the world around me. If someone had told me my freshman year that I would be following Jesus surrounded by incredible women who lead me back to Him and pray for me constantly, I would have laughed and walked away. I cannot believe the way the Lord walks into our lives and changes us forever.
One thing that I have always struggled with is wondering where I belong, mainly with other people, more specifically who will I marry? I chose to look at myself in the eyes of what others were saying. I did not choose to look and see what my Father was saying about me and who I really am. I have never had a romantic relationship and I am 21 years old, many women my age have had multiple relationships. I would sit and compare myself to those women and just become overwhelming saddened by the fact that I hadn't experienced that yet. This was no place to be and a dishonor to myself, the women around me, and God. If you sit in that for too long you begin to listen to the enemy and when someone comes along and shows you attention, you follow it and eventually get hurt. I truly believe that relationships are beautiful and should be surrounding the Lord, with in the middle of it all.
