Today while cruising steadily at an alititude of 33,000 feet, I was asked if I had ever fallen in love. Pretty random, huh? I guess it's really not that weird of a question. The guy I was sitting next to and I were talking and he asked me about school and what I was studying, and If I had fallen in love yet. What is love anyway? There's not really a single clear cut answer. If you ask 1o different people what love is, you'll get 10 different answers. At best, it's complicated. But since the man I was sitting next to meant love in the romantic sense, I had to say no. To be Honest, I've never even come relatively close to falling in love. I've never been in any sort of position to. I've never had a boyfriend, I've never held hands with a guy, or kissed a guy, I've never been asked out on a date. And as far as I can tell, I don't even think a guy has ever liked me in *ahem* "that" way (some of my suitemates would disagree, but we won't discuss that) It's funny when I tell that to people, you can definitely tell they are wondering what on earth could possibly be wrong with me. Nothing's wrong with me, at least as far as I know. God in His infinite wisdom has decided that in my life, it would be better if I weren't in a relationship, thus far anyway, and I'm more than content with the plan that God has chosen for me. Do I wish I had somebody, Am I lonely? Hmm...tough call, being in a godly relationship can bring you such joy, and should strengthen your relationship with God. And yes, there are times when I wish that I could share my life with someone else and experience that joy. But, I don't want to compromise a blessing that God might have in store for me in the future because I'm impatient and not fully finding joy in God alone. Do I want to fall in love? Oh sure, who doesn't? But, I'm not going to search high and low for someone to fall in love with, because if it's God's will, it will happen at exactly the right moment. I'm more than happy to wait for God's perfect plan to reveal itself, and if God's planned for me to fall in love with someone (or even just get asked out, or be in a relationship) then it will happen when He wants it to. So in the meantime, No, I have not fallen in love with anybody, but if I ever do, it will be only because that's what God has ordained in my life and nothing else.
