It looks like no one reads this...
but I will try to be more diligent in posting anyway. Updates on me: I am moving the end of the month to another apartment. I have registered for classes for the spring semester.
There is an almost 2 year old who seems to have taken to me. I do not understand why. Yes, I would vote him the number one almost 2 year old on the planet, but what causes him to like me? For two weeks he's come up to me and wanted to sit in my lap. Of course this is fine, but I am at a total loss. I've had very little experience with young children. Anyone have insight on this?
I detest romance novels and I quite dislike the romantic comedy genre of movies, but real life tells a different story. When I was young, I remember old couples...ok, for those of you reading this, old by my definition is over 70. If you are at least 70 you have earned that right, and I have great respect for you. Anyway, what has always touched me even in my strongest guy-hating days was those older couples who so love each other you can tell simply by looking at them. Seeing older couples holding hands to me is far more meaningful than anything fiction can tell. I've never desired to marry because I have been afraid that I would repeat the mistakes of my parents, and because I had no perception of what God intended for marriage. The last few months I've had the priviledge of getting to know someone who's not even that old and yet have that wonderful Godly marriage that I fear I will never begin to understand. Some people are simply created for one another. We live in a world that doesn't know how to be patient. People see marriage too lightly. Divorce is entirely too common. People marry for the wrong reasons. Why? Marriage should be a life-long commitment. It should NOT be taken lightly. I know singles who push themselves so hard trying to find that perfect someone, but I say it is better not to marry than to marry the wrong person. For singles out there, please let God choose your mate. If you don't believe in God, I pray you one day will. For anyone who is married, I pray that you do not consider divorce as an option. For those who've been married longer than I've been alive, I salute you. May you all be the "cute old couples" if you aren't already.
