this must be love :]

‎"So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her." -Genesis 29:20
This encourages me because even though I'm without a guy (and pretty happy as a single lady! *hands up*), I know that there is such thing as a beautiful relationship. I know that, even in my weakest and loneliest of times, when I really want a boyfriend or whatever, that there will eventually be someone who will love me. It's hard to be patient, but in the end, it will be worth it!

I was actually sharing at servants meeting a couple weeks ago about how happy that I am to be single. I'm not against being in a relationship, and I still like boys, but I know that if I had been in a relationship the past few weeks, my life would've been even crazier! Being single, I'm able to concentrate on being a student, on loving my family group, and on making new friends. Ok, maybe if I were with the right guy, I would still be able to do things, but I guess that's what I mean; it's so easy to be with the wrong guy, and I want to be able to be with someone who can build me up, pray with me, and encourage me, and of course I want to be able to do the same for him!

In the last episode of Amazing Race that I watched, a Christian couple was in last place and they were eliminated from the race. The husband said, "I'm more in love with her now than I ever have been. I don't know how two close people can get, but we are so very much in love." I guess it seems pretty typical for a husband to say that about his wife, but for some reason, it really struck me, especially when he started tearing up in between his words. I'm excited to know that I'll like someone when I start dating them, I'll love them when we get married, and I'll love them most the day I die, because that's how love should be - it should grow every day.

Until then...PTL :]

first dates

I went on a horrible date yesterday.
Or maybe it was just TOO GOOD to ever have a second date.

...Nah, it was just a really bad date.

First of all, if you tell me you don't know what pho is and I say I'm going to bring you to eat pho, and you say okay, THEN ORDER PHO WHEN WE GO OUT TO EAT PHO. This guy orders some where dish because he says he doesn't want "soup" because he was too hungry and it wouldn't be filling enough. IT'S PHO. IT WILL FILL YOU UP.

Second, and this may be controversial, but if you ask me out on a date and I say no, but then you really want to "get to know me" or whatever, then at least pay. Like honestly, I'm not one of those girls who always expects guys to pay, and usually I would honestly prefer to pay for my own portion of the meal. But I didn't even want to go on this date in the first place, and the guy doesn't even offer to pay, and actually says, "How about I pay with my card and you just give me 6 bucks for your order." Uhm, okay. Thanks bro, for nothing.

Third, we are almost about to graduate college. Most seniors in college are already 21, and if not, then 21 is just around the corner. Being 21 means we can legally buy alcohol, so why are you talking about drinking alcohol has if you're some kind of rebel? It's legal dude, we're not in high school anymore. Also, what makes you think I'd be attracted to your previous weed obsession? I know people smoke up, do drugs, and whatever else floats their boat, but again, it's just so high school to flaunt it like you're some kind of social miscreant.

No more dates for me! >:O
