This past Monday I was babysitting these 4 little kids that live in my neighborhood. While I was babysitting, they asked me if i had a boyfriend. I told them no...they just stared at me and asked me how old i was. I told them i was 20 years old and the oldest girl goes...YOU'RE 20 AND YOU DON'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND?!
A couple nights ago i was laying in bed and couldn't sleep so i put on the Biggest Loser finale and i had it on as background while i read my book. towards the middle of the show, they brought back the people who had been voted off in past and they talked to 2 people who had met on the show and were now dating. i teared up a little bit...then i told myself that he was probably going to propose to her on the show... Later in the show he did propose...i started bawling.
My best friend is getting married this summer and i've been asked to do her hair and the bridesmaid's hair. i can't wait!! they are perfect for each other and i can't wait for the wedding!! i'm sure she can't either. :)
what do all of these things have in common? for the past week, it has seemed like everything/everyone has been focusing on relationships and having a boyfriend. sadly, i do not have a boyfriend...and i think the reason that i started bawling when i was watching the Biggest Loser was cause i am really lonely. But as i rolled over to go to sleep that night...God put the "Footprints in the Sand" poem in my mind. I was given a copy of this poem by my ex-boyfriend's dad last christmas. he knew that it was my favorite poem ever and i've been able to dwell on it a lot. It has gotten me through a lot of hardship and a lot of sad times in my life. God really is there.
I feel like God making me remember this poem at this time was him showing me that he's never going to leave my side and that he is always going to be there to help me through the tough times. He has showed me that He will always be there by my side.
