I just finished reading Leslie Ludy's Authentic Beauty a couple of days ago and like any good book that really got to me, it left my mind reeling.
I wished someone had shown me this book earlier. I wished I knew what I know now earlier. And after reading, I find myself examining the way I've been living my life.
In the book, Leslie mentioned how we should guard our hearts and emotions. I wish I knew that earlier. That would save me from all the unnecessary heartbreak that I've gone through.
Sometimes when I think about the guys I've dated. I realise just how quickly I throw myself into relationships and each time I hope that would be THE guy whom I'm gonna grow old with. But each time I just wind up setting myself up for disappointment.
Throughout my year of singlehood, I held this notion in my head: Never settle for anything less than the best, because I'm worth it.
But being single wasn't easy. There were nights I wonder if God had anyone planned for me. But most of the time I would crash in bed because I'm all tuckered out from my busy day, and ready to repeat the cycle again when I wake up. I wished I had consulted God in every decision I ever made instead of rushing into things..
It's hard to live in a world, a culture where promiscuity seems like a norm through the TV shows and movies we watch. But to anyone who's pure but feel the pressure to conform to the ways of the world because it appears to be the norm, DON'T. Because for you to become like the rest of the world, all it takes is one night. But for them to be like you, never again. Live the set apart life, it's okay to be different.
And I don't want to fit God into the pockets of time I find left in my busy schedule. I want my life to revolve around Him and hand Him the pen to write the story of my life. I don't want what I define as best for me, I want what God thinks is best for me.
So what's the point of this whole entry? Nothing really... just saying what's on my mind.
