ANd putting your faith in something greater than prince charming is always a good way to go! Pray about it, and enjoy your time as a single girl! Life is fun! Take some chances, do some new things! Mr. Right will come along when you least expect it! Until then, let God hold your heart...I promise He will take care of it =) Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18127057290302968184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074102730181684473.post-70442600248228615202012-12-13T23:01:24.796-06:002012-12-13T23:01:24.796-06:00First, can I just say that I.

Count me as a new follower.<br /><br />As a 27 year old, who thought she found the one at 18, married him at 23 and struggled to put herself back together again at 24 after he divorced her with no other reason except "I'm not in love with you anymore". I feel know how you feel. And now 3 years later after spending 18 months with another "almost" right, I'm finally done trying to control it. I'm done trying to find the perfect love, I'm going to let the one find me, after all, the best love usually finds you when you're not looking. Or perhaps it's that you are putting your faith into something greater than just prince charming. <br /><br />Seriously, this was just what I needed to read, right when I needed to read it.

They get married right after college, have 2.5 kids and end up divorced. It makes me so sad. I wish more girls/women were taught how valuable they are!

Thankfully, I didn't "settle" either. I went back to the singles and ended up marrying the love of my life, someone whom I can check off on every item on this list (which every women should go by). What an inspiration. I'm definitely a new follower!

My daughter is only 9 and already I'm having to work with her to instill the knowledge that she is special and that she is never second to anyone. I have seen so many girls go through torment over relationships and they need someone with good solid advice that lets them know to put God first and look for GOOD things in a guy. Amazing post. Have a great day!

I compared every single person I met to that guy, but he wasn't good for me. Hang in there and it will happen for you! I met Shaun when I was 29 (now 31) and we are finally talking about marriage. I know it's not the plan that I might have had for myself, but it's the plan that God has for me. You just have to trust that everything is going the way that it's supposed to.<3<br /><br />-kelly<br />sweettea-lemonade.blogspot.comKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817311173793713076noreply@blogger.com
