Not Alone Series: Introduction



When Jennifer posted a few weeks ago about the single ladies series Morgan and her were planning, I quickly emailed her wanting to get involved.   I then took a step back and debated if I really did want to get involved.  This was mainly because I am 22, starting my last year of college in August, and don't like to make a big deal about waiting for the Lord's plan to be unveiled, aka the single years (but maybe I should embrace it a little more....hmmm something to ponder).  I have also debated because this isn't a journal, this is a blog that anyone in the world can see and I have to write accordingly.  However I realized what the heck, I can write and hopefully speak to other ladies' hearts who are exactly the same place I am and carefully choose my words so as not to expose all my heart on the world wide web.  So here I go.....

I am a 22 year old  student at Franciscan University of Steubenville. In the fall I will be entering into my fifth and final year of nursing school.  Being the age I am and being at a school like Franciscan I have just a few weddings this summer, I don't know something like s.e.v.e.n.  So with all these weddings and showers, engagements happening all the time and new relationship news also abounding, of course there are days when I feel as though guys fall in love with every girl BUT me.  And then I screw my head on straight, take a deep breath and rest in the Lord's perfect plan for my life.  Because in the end, whether you enter your vocation at 18 or 46, that is what it is all about-seeking the Lord's plan for our life which includes His timing and resting in that.  I don't always have it all together in my head and my heart at the same time but I know the Lord knows even the most intimate desires of my heart.

So was that a satisfactory introduction?  Please read along on this series and check out some of my other posts so that the picture can continue to be painted.   I look forward to being inspired through all you ladies' posts and walking along this road together.

    2. Hahah oh trust me I had to stock up on dresses and shoes because with the weddings come showers and a rehearsal dinner for the wedding I am. Hmmm I am sensing a blog post about that. Now I just need to find jewelry I like....

  7. I know what you mean about being unsure about linking up - I had similar feelings because I didn't think I'd actually have anything to say on the topic. Guess we'll find out if that's true in the weeks to come ;) Glad you decided to join, though! And good luck on your 5th year; I know how those go!
