I Am Not The Kind Of Girl...
Who has ever really dreamed of getting married. All of my life, I've been dreaming of being on American Idol, or moving to a big city, or doing something really great with my life. Marriage has never been one of those things on my to do list in the future...I've never felt like you need to spend the rest of your life with someone to be happy. I always thought the single life was the way to go, but a couple of years ago I started changing my way of thinking. I guess if you find that one person that makes it all seem worth it, then it really is a beautiful thing. It's scary putting yourself out there like that.
I guess I was just tired of being disappointed in people; getting my hopes up and being let down every single time. You end up putting a guard up, because you know it's just going to happen again. I want to believe the best in people like I used to. But, it's hard when you've been burned. I really looked after people; I tried to make whatever problem they were having better, and I was sensitive to their feelings, but people didn't seem to feel the same way towards me. Plus, I blame my sensitivity. I might come across tough at times or like I don't care, but at the core I'm fragile and care too much. I've learned not to put all of my happiness and trust in one person, because whether our friends or family want to or mean to, they will let us down. There's only person that will NEVER FAIL us, and that's God. I think once I wrap my mind around that, I'll have a better understanding of what love is. When my relationship with God is where it needs to be, everything else will fall into place in His timing. I also need to learn a little thing called patience while we're at it ;).
So, until I find the one that God has in mind for me, I'm just going to take it all one step at a time...enjoy time with friends and family, and learn not to worry so much. When the right one comes along, I'll know :)
The Weekend
This weekend was fabulous! Friday I didn't have classes, because it was considered "Dead day" on campus. So, my mom and I went to lunch, saw New Year's Eve, and ran a couple errands. The movie was so cute! I wasn't quite sure what to expect after hearing it only received one star in the reviews, but I have no idea what they were talking about. I thought it was more coherent with story lines than Valentine's Day, and had a really great over all message. I so want to see it again on New Year's Eve! :D LOL. Came home and watched Christmas movies that night! Cheesy, but what do you expect from Lifetime and Hallmark?
Yesterday was nice too! Went to lunch and a couple places with my aunt, and was able to relax at home a little while.
Play at my grandparents' church!
Such an incredible production. I remember seeing it years ago when I was about 5 maybe (it hasn't been here in like 13 or 14 years); thinking the angels were so cool and being in awe of everything that was happening on stage. This was exactly what I needed to be reminded of what Christmas is all about, and to get in the Christmas spirit once again! I remember being that small and wanting to sing in all the church Christmas plays, so the little kids singing "Happy Birthday Jesus" really took me back ;). And I missed my grandma. It was her church before she passed away, and she was always involved in the choir or something. Missing loved ones that aren't here anymore, really doesn't ever go away.
It also had me really excited for our Christmas program next Saturday and Sunday; it's going to be a blast. Every time I see a play or concert, I feel that anticipation of the behind the scenes crew, because I love the chaos RIGHT before you go on. It's the most exciting feeling in the world, and reminds me of how much I love performing and being on stage. That's one thing I miss about school...the choir concerts, plays, holiday themed parties, etc.
Today, I was also reminded of how God is continually working in my life. When I let go and fully trust Him, I'm so much better off. I am so blessed to not only have Him, but the most amazing friends in the world. They encourage me, love me no matter what, and they're always there for me. I love them so much, and honestly, I don't know where I'd be without them.
Here's to the last week of school, the last week of practice for the Christmas concert, and more festiveness of the season.
That's all for now,
Shelby
