Happy Valentines Day :*

I have to admit- I do enjoy Valentines Day. While I've never really had a Valentine, most years I like celebrating with those who do. But I will say, it can be difficult being single on Valentines Day. And it can be discouraging. And it's not easy being surrounded by couples as you walk through school (even though

h that happens every day).

I was beginning to get discouraged myself when I remembered something very valuable (two things actually).

First: I have no reason to be sad about my singleness on Valentines Day. God has someone waiting for me. Just for me! Some amazing guy out there has me in his heart and mind, and he probably doesn't even know me yet. He's waiting to meet me. This is why I'm single. Because really, I'm already taken. It's like I'm on Lay-Away for love. I shouldn't be upset about not having a Valentine; he lives in the future.

Second: I have a bigger and better Valentine than I could ever really ask for- my Creator. My Father. He loves me when no one else seems to and when I feel most alone; when I doubt. He never gives up on me. I only have to give Him my heart. And He is saving and protecting it for the right person.

Don't feel lame if you don't have a sweetheart this February 14th. Because you're awesome. And someone out there is waiting for you to be their Valentine, too. Chin up, Buttercup. Life is good, so embrace this time.
