A-Ha!

I had a total "aha!" moment last night while I was listening to The Light Reprise by Scott McAlvany and Braddigan from the Walking on Water soundtrack.  There's a lot more to life than falling in love.  I know it is hard to believe but tis true.  As a young woman going to a Christian college it's a little hard not to think about because it seems to be on a lot of people's minds.  Yeah I'd like to get married and all that good stuff but that shouldn't be the only thing that I (or any one else) strives for in life.  So many books and movies try to bash it into our heads that if you are alone you're probably unhappy.  People at church do it too, they don't mean to, but especially for single women there is an expectation to jump on it and find a good husband.  Men can be as single as they want but heaven forbid a woman do the same.  

Again, I wouldn't mind one bit being a relationship, but I just get so fed up when that's all people want or expect from their lives.  God has equipped us to do so much more than look around for a soul mate.  So I'm thinking that instead of sitting around waiting for (or searching for) the love of our life we should bip around doing what God calls us to do and if we happen to find love on the way, sweet man.  If not, that is equally sweet.
