Waiting For The Right One

If you're praying for your future husband right now, believe that God is saving you for someone special.

Waiting For The Right One
Sally Clarkson

There are so many nights when I feel unwanted or unloved. I'm 20 years old and I've never been in a relationship. So many people I know are in relationships, are married, getting married or having kids.

Part of me feels like a straight-up loser. Throughout high school, I was the only one in my group of friends that wasn't dating someone. I was the third wheel more than once. I was so lonely. Not that I wasn't happy to see my friends happy, but it sucks being the only person without someone special in their life. I prayed so many times to God that He would put the right guy in my life in His timing. Going through my first two years of college, three of my friends got married, one got engaged, and one is now expecting a baby boy. I'm so happy for them, but sometimes I try and question God and ask Him when is He going to put that special someone in my life.

After much praying, I've learned that I already have someone in my life that makes me feel wanted. I already have someone in my life that loves me unconditionally and that's Jesus. Jesus has such a special place in my heart. While, I get impatient with the fact that I'm still single at 20, God has something so great in store for me. He wants me to work on becoming the right person before he puts the right person in my life.

So ladies, hold out for the one God has for you. Don't settle for less than you deserve because you will only end up disappointed. Your Prince Charming, future husband, man of God, is coming. Just have faith and patience that God will place that man in your life at the most perfect time.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
