You Are Awesome

That's right, I said it. You are awesome. So why are you settling for a boy who isn't right for you?

There is literally no good reason to settle for anything less than the best. Do NOT let anyone tell you otherwise. Not your sister, your bff, your mom, your neighbor, your pet fish, ANYONE. I promise, it is not worth it.

But what if my expectations are too high? Unless you are expecting some perfect Prince Charming to pop up out of the blue, I think you will be okay. Sometimes even Prince Charming isn't right for you, just ask Blair Waldorf. Sure, she ended up with the dark knight, but let's be honest, she did not settle for Chuck Bass. Chuck was not perfect, however, he proved to her that he was worth her time. Blair made him own up to his mistakes and show her that he was worthy of her trust before she agreed to give him a chance. Why should we be any different? We all deserve someone who will fight for us, as well as admit when they are wrong. I think that's more impressive than any castle in France.

Why is it taking so long? Good things come to those who wait. In the Bible, Jacob worked for SEVEN YEARS to marry Rachel, only to be disappointed in the end. And you know what? He worked for another seven years so that he could actually marry Rachel. If you do not know this story, I encourage you to read Genesis 29. He loved her SO much. Fourteen years is a long time to wait when you are literally on the same property as the one you love. But to him, it felt like a few hours. It was worth the wait.

What if he never comes? He will come. While you wait, focus on what The Lord can use you for while you are single. Hang out with your friends and family. There is a plethora of things to do while you wait for someone who deserves you. Do not waste your time giving yourself away to boys who don't mean anything to you, don't treat you the way you deserve to be treated, and who aren't going to stick around when things get tough.

Do not settle for someone who is not worth your time or attention. The right man will come along, and he will be worth the wait.
