Here i am again. All my bestfriends have boyfriends(they're all girls), my family doesn't ever see me, i feel alone in a coffee shop that i've lived in for years, and all i can do is put my head in my hands, taking in the sent of espresso grounds that defines me as a barista and wonder why. Why did i end up here again, why do i find myself in this position more often than not. Why i don't have that person, friend, family, some one who works in the same building as me, that comes and sees me, comes and visits me when i have no customers. I have my bestfriends, and i have a few of them, but they, at this point in time, have more-significant others than myself, and i really don't enjoy forcing myself on couples. So i ask God why, and then i remember that i don't have someone because i don't have the relationship with God that i need to have to be in a relationship. I would love someone to fall into infatuation with, to be smitten by, to glow about, but those things end, and it's never good, and would just futher distract me from my relationship with God.
and yet still, even knowing that, i just want that person. That person will talk to me until 4 in the morning, no matter how many times i tell them to go to sleep if i'm keeping them up, that will throw food at me and that will laugh at all my rediculous traits.
God of love, my Lord, my King, give me strength to give You this offering.

patience.
yes. patience.
and trust--that the lord really does have someone for you.
i understand that you've been surrounded by a lot of people, myself included, that seem to have taken the trial-and error method of finding "that person." you have never settled for less than what god has in store for you. that, my dear, makes you infinitely wiser than any of us.
and your general response to this statement is that no, the reason you haven't done this is because of, well, THAT situation. regardless, i believe that you never will just settle for less than what you deserve by the world's standards, by god's standards, and by my standards. something and someone wonderful will come.
