oh, valentines day! some people would call it a 'hallmark card day', other would call it 'singles awareness day', others think it's one of the greatest days ever because they get to show their love and affection to their significant other. personally, i have never had a valentine in my almost 20 years of life, and i'm okay with that. years ago i gave up on meaningless dating, because i wanted to save myself from heartbreak. what better way to avoid it then to wait for the one that God has for me? some will say it's ridiculous, but i would say that it's one of the most beautiful things ever. when i come upon the day that i am to be married to the man of my dreams, i know i can do so with confidence that i'm giving him my everything. i like that.
so on this day i got a heart of chocolate from my mom and my secret sister at church. i got the spend the day with all of the people that i love: my family. it was spent knowing that there is someone bigger than me and anything i'm capable of doing for myself. that the Creator of my life and the universe has perfect and specific plans for my life. that He already has my husband hand picked for me. that's special.

I know this is belated, but here are a couple of my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI'm not inclined to be bitter about my singleness. I desire the companionship of a lifetime commitment, but February 14 doesn't cause me angst. It troubles me when people around me get angsty on that day, like "Um.. so am I supposed to feel especially lonely on Valentine's Day?"
I have a different view than you about dating, but I think we both have heart toward purity and a lifelong, faithful commitment to the right guy.
