Conversations With Colossia.... Wheres My Man? After the experience of a high school sweetheart I remember praying to God and saying alright Lord, Im not the break-up type- this is definitely too much for me to handle. So at 18 I boldly declared The next person I date, I marry! I mean it God, do not allow me to give my heart away again if its not ordained by you. Well... I had NO IDEA what I asked for. Ive crossed paths with A Few Good Men since 18, and 2 of them almost, but came up short of the dating phase. I also remember giving God strict instructions at 20 that I was to be happily married by 26- Ill be 28 in a few months.. so that deadline has come and gone. LOL I laugh not because Ive never had lonely nights, but because I find my younger self comically amusing. I remember when I perceived singleness as some wicked curse to be cast into the seas of forgetfulness. I mean every woman wants the one that completes her at some point in life right? But the only problem with this twisted fantasy is that two broken people perpetuate broken lives. How can you marry someone without first marrying yourself? Do you take YOU to hold and cherish through sickness and health, forsaking all others until death do you part? It might seem like a silly question but some people cringe at the thought of waking up to themselves every morning. For the most part we all come to that stage of life where were like I want a husband, or I want a wife- its natural. But, dont let your desire for company force you to entertain counterfeits.... and while were on the subject PLEASE dont marry one! It took me 9 years to figure out that singleness is a blessing too..... and as you get busy about purpose the proposal will find you!
