Ya know, whenever i really get to thinking about the prospect of wanting/needing a girlfriend, i can't forget what one of my high school teachers/drama directors/friends said to me about the subject: "If you chase a girl, and you get her, who gets the glory? You...but if you live your life and God puts someone in it who's perfect for you, who gets the glory then? Him." (Ok, it was something like that; it's been a few years.)

I don't think i'll ever forget that piece of advice. I'm pretty sure i'd much rather have a relationship ordained by God than one i created. High school held a lot of failed relationships for me (failed because they never started in the first place - which i'm very thankful for now that i've grown a little), and now i'm at college. Guess what everyone expects of you at college. That's right: "Get the heck married." We're now expected to "find" our mates - a lovely bunch of crap that is. There are over 6 billion other people in this world, and you expect to find the one person who's perfect for you on your own? You're out of your cotton-pickin' mind.

Some things we must let God do. If i try this on my own, i'll fall flat on my face. If (and i do mean if) there's someone out there for me, God's going to put her in my life; i'm not just going to get my foot in the door because at the time i was concentrating on chasing everything with a skirt on (especially because just chasing those wearing skirts cuts down dramatically on the female population; i was going to say "breasts," but that presents a whole other problem that i won't address right now).

In closing, i think about this too much. Heh, that entry actually made it sound like i'm passionate about something...am i going soft?
