Weddings

Funny how attending a wedding gets a girl thinking about her own. How you would do your hair, what your dress would look like, if you would cry...and usually you end up just wishing it was you.
But this particular wedding made me think about even more than that.
There was a time, not too long ago, that all I was thinking about was how lonely I was. Wishing I had a boyfriend...you know the routine. My relationships with my married friends, and even some of the single ones became strained. Was I jealous? Maybe. Not exactly a healthy or Godly frame of mind to be in.
Which brings me to Sarah and Andrew, not meaning to sound cheezy, but they just might be the world's most perfect couple. And, believe me, I was somewhat envious...at first. After their wedding on Saturday I realized something very important. Sarah and Andrew are not together because they spent their lives looking around for a spouse, they are together because they have spent their lives "looking around" for Jesus. They would both be the first to tell you that He is the center of their lives. It was by His will that they met in Ireland 4 years ago, and now they will be serving Him together.
So what does this have to do with me?? I have learned to be content as a single person. Does that mean I am never envious of other couples? No, not really. But it does mean that I give all of those feelings and longings over to Jesus. And I am sure, that the more focused I am on Him...
well, he knows the desires of our hearts.
