Where's Mr. Right?

As I'm sitting at my computer, listening to the rain pouring down while drinking an incredibly strong cup of coffee (one thing you should know about me: I hate weak coffee!), I'm pondering how to go about writing a post about one of the questions most teenage and young women ask themselves a lot: "Where is my Mr. Right?"

Trying to figure out the answer to this question...

I have asked myself this question so many times, even though I have decided to not date or have a boyfriend until I can see myself getting married. It's hard though. I think about my future Mr. Right all the time. I even have a Pinterest board about my future husband.. :D (You're welcome to check it out! :)) Another thing to consider is that there's a reason you haven't met your future guy yet. You may just not be ready to be in a relationship. There are lots of different reasons not to be in a relationship at this point in time. I personally don't want to just date around randomly. I want to have meaningful relationships with guys. You should treasure your singleness and use it to grow closer to the Father. Take this time to travel and become closer to your family and friends. Having a boyfriend or husband isn't everything. You can use this time to improve yourself and overall become a better person. I'm not trying to preach to you, not at all. I've struggled with all of these things. Wondering if I'm ever going to find a good guy, if I'm ever going to get married and have kids. To be honest, I'm too young to be thinking about all that. I'm single, and I will be for a long time, but that's okay. It's okay to not have a boyfriend at fifteen, or even sixteen and seventeen. 1 Corinthians 7:34-35 states:"The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Father, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Father without distraction." (KJV) This passage seems to say that it is actually a GOOD thing to be single and that you can better serve the Father when you are single. I'm not saying that the bible says that you need to be single forever, not at all. There are actually commands that tell believers to "Be fruitful and multiply." (Genesis 1:28). What I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't rush relationships and marriage; instead, be happy that you're single, and focus on the Father.

Here are some lies young women believe about singleness and dating:

#1: There Isn't a Man Out There Who Will Love Me Unconditionally.

That is a straight-up lie. There is already a man who loves us. He actually died for all of us. He loved you so much that he freely gave up his live for you and I. Want to know what his name is? I'm pretty sure you already do. He is our Messiah. The Father's only begotten son. He loves you so much that he found a way to save us from our sin. So, please NEVER say that there isn't a man who loves you, because there is. Our Heavenly Father and His Son love you so very much. Your Heavenly Father wants you to lean on Him, and go to him in prayer when things are tough. John 3:16: "For the Father so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (KJV)

#2: I'm Not Pretty Enough and That's Why I Haven't Had a Boyfriend

Girl, this is NOT true. If a man judges you on your outward appearance instead of your inward appearance, he ain't worth it. We have to accept that we'll never look like those stick-thin, photoshopped models plastered all over the media. That doesn't mean that you are not beautiful though. Psalm 139:14: " I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." Honey, you are beautiful, and no one can ever change that. You are beautiful. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, and no guy can EVER say differently. Be unique. Be yourself. Don't ever change yourself for somebody else.

Girl, you don't need a man to be happy! Be yourself. Be single. It's okay, you're not alone! There are lots of girls out there struggling with some of the things you are. If you want, drop a comment about your walk and why you're single, chat with me, or email me. I would be more than happy to talk with you! And always remember: Your Heavenly Father loves you so much!

Goodbye for now,

Kyra :)
