pursuing, waiting, and relaxing

Deep down everyone wants to feel wanted; especially girls and especially me.

There is something inside each of us and we long to belong; to have a group and to be wanted. 

I'm a people person. I love being with friends. I hate being alone. Honestly, sometimes it's hard being one of my only friends without a boyfriend. 

Don't get me wrong, I don't want you to think I'm that girl who can't live a day without having a boy on her arm. I barely talk about this but I was sitting at home today on spring break doing a ton of thinking.

I read this post and it really spoke to me today. 

Then one of my really close friends reiterated it too. She told me that if we do the pursuing, we'll practically be doing it our entire lives. 



Sometimes the hardest thing is waiting. Knowing that God is in control and his timing is perfect; not just in the area of relationships but with everything-with jobs, school, scholarships and other opportunities. 

I'm a planner. I want to know what's going on, how it's going down and who's all going to be there. All of this is fine, but more times than not, it leads to extra stress and overthinking. 

I need to learn to sit back and relax, to not be so high strung. It's ok to want something but I also need to learn to be patient and wait.
