I just got back from fall break. It was by far amazing. I went to Virginia Beach to visit some lovely friends from Teen Mania.
Thank you Teen Mania for creating an environment to make strong godly friends for a lifetime.
However, I do want to talk about something that I discovered while talking to one of my best friends who got married this past summer.
We were talking about life and how everything just wasn't turning out as we always pictured it to be. Then, she says, "I always thought when I found the perfect man for me my life was going to awesome. I would be happy and not insecure. And I realized I actually need God more now than before I was married. My problems didn't go away. Of course, my husband does make me the happiest, but he doesn't satisfy me like God does."
I think I realized then that I had been looking to find happiness in marriage. I really do want to get married, but I realized that it will never satisfy me like Jesus will.
Over the past few days, I keep hearing the same thing, "If you drink from the well, you will never go thirsty again."
On a lighter note, my womb cried out for children the other day. haha. I was nannying for a family and they have a two year old girl and four year old boy. In the middle of the night, there was this really bad storm, lightning and all. At 2:30 am, in the doorway of the room I was sleeping in, are two little figures holding hands and came to crawl in bed with me. We all piled in on the bed, and fell asleep. I woke up at one point on the edge of the bed, and the two little bodies spread out.
I can definitely wait to have children, but will totally love every minute of it when it happens!
