To my lovely sisters, heart break is real. Don’t let anyone try to undermine its pain and the effect that it has. It shakes up your world and leaves you feeling lost and confused. If you’re like me and get attached easily, the hurt of the aftermath is inevitable. You must then learn what you’re going to do with it.
Pictured are pages of my personal diary. There, I keep a list of traits I am looking for in my future husband. The last picture is my newest addition to my journal: What I’ve Learned. I have listed in this section every boy who I have ever had feelings for and have been hurt by. Next to their names, I have written what they have taught me to look for in my future husband.
The pain hurts, and to be honest, I’ve just prayed that God not send me any guys before I’m ready. I don’t even want to get married if God doesn’t make it completely obvious to me. However, I can’t change the past, and I have to decide what I’m going to do with that pain that I’m feeling. I could let it bring me down and I could wallow in my self pity, but that wouldn’t help anyone.
So instead, I pray God gives me wisdom to see His message in it. I’m done trying to figure it out and make something work that God hasn’t intended. Instead, I’m just stepping back and saying, “God, I need you to take this. I’m trusting in your plan and having faith that you know best.”
