So what I'm not your average girl
I don't meet the standards of this world
Chasing after boys is not my thing
See, I'm waiting for a wedding ring
No more dating
I'm just waiting
Like sleeping beauty
My prince will come for me
No more dating I'm just waiting
'Cause God is writing my love story
Boys are bad that's certainly not true
'Cause God's preparing one for you
If you get tierd waiting till he comes
Gods arms are the perfect place to run
-ok, so i'm a sucker for Barlow Girl

so travis mentioned this today in sunday school and i thot it was an interesting thing to say so i'm going to ellaborate, so some of this is him talking and some is me and u dont' really have to desifer(i have spelling issues) the differences cuz this isn't legally published and all.
ok so seriously the phrase "falling in love" like doesn't that sound like ur totally jumping off a cliff or something, or suppose u didn't know what the word love meant, it sounds like u tripped and hit ur head on a wall or something...now that sounds painful! ouch!
and u notice that in other languages (ok just spanish because i only know those two) they dont have a phrase "falling" in love, there's just being in love, becoming in love however u really want to phrase it but it's not quite that harsh dropping out of a plane w/o a parachute thing.
and i mean u have to be pretty committed to jumping out of a plane or off a cliff ya no, u don't just do it to see what happens, right? i still maintain that anyone can fall in love, but not everyone is ready to love that person for the rest of their life. marriage takes work, committment, a lot more than physical attraction and a few things in common. i mean a dating relationship is like 84% physical 10% emotional and 2% committment..but a marriage is like 2% physical and 98% emotional committment...i think that's why they make u go to pre-marital counseling, i mean it's like a qualifying class...sure love is complicated but sharing ur life with someone is so much more than that, it's accepting the good and the bad, all of that person all of their quirks, everything u love about them but also everything that drives u batty about that person, i mean it's not all roses and wedding cake, there's a whole life after that one wedding party, and i think it's going to be so amazing and wonderful, and i'm so glad that i have time to prepare myself for that. i mean think about it, a lot of countries and people in the past and stuff by 16 i'd be on my second child and stuff, i would NOT be ready for that...and u know what's ironic about that, i mean seriously can u imagine having ur life mate at the age of 13? probably wouldn't work out right, but back then there wasn't much divorce or anything and now people don't get married untill their late 20's early 30's and their marriages hardly ever work out? waht is this, u'd think they'd be more mature and able to handle themselves...who knows...all i know is that if i know now, that hollywood's wack then i'm better off right? i mean seriously it's not all about losing ur mind to ur emotions, that doesn't work, that doesn't help u survive for the rest of ur life. i don't know, i've never been in love, and to some extent i hope that i don't fall in love until i really am ready to make that committment, i mean once ur at the alter is it going to matter that u had a zillion boyfriends? well actually yes, ur going to wish taht this was the only person u'd been close to because all the other guys won't matter, and ur going to wish u didn't have anything to compare to because then it would feel perfect all the time....so why line up the guys and go through them? why not just wait until ur ready to start ur life? i just don't know..but i do no that right now, it genuinely doesn't matter to me that i'm not in some crazy teenage relationship or that i'm dreadfully single....eh, it suits me!
