Trust in the Lord with all your
(heart), and lean not on your own understanding...
-Proverbs 3:5

Technically, this post is for everyone... but I figured maybe it'd help those singles who hadn't really applied this verse to romance...
I read this again, right after I found out that the guy I like SO much had a girlfriend. I read the word "heart" and I was like, "Wow, if I just draw a little heart around the word 'heart,' that verse feels sooo different, yet still means the same thing."
So, I drew a heart in place of the word heart and I hung this verse up on my fridge.
You can truly trust God with every single aspect of your life. I suffer from chronic singleness and I gave my love life to God a long time ago. If there's a happily-ever-after for me that includes marriage, God is in charge of that.
I forget sometimes, though. I forget that God is part of the romance section of my life... I can't just mope around thinking that love must not be for me, instead, I have to remember that God has a part in this.
God is LOVE. He is going to bring a husband to me, but maybe I don't trust Him enough with all of this yet... I want things to go my way... that crush I said I have, that's been going on for years. I'm afraid to lose him.
But, what if God has someone SO much better for me waiting just around the corner and my feelings for this guy are getting in the way of that?
Gosh. I still have so much to learn. I'm still learning to trust God with everything.
