365 Days To a Good Guy (Weeks 6-10)

Posted on 08. Jul, 2011 by Sarah in General, Inspiration, Relationships

Whoever said time flies is SO right! My great intentions of a weekly article fell by the wayside. Blame it on living in an airplane/suitcase . At any rate, you might have thought that I have found the perfect guy and we eloped. Not quite .

The last few weeks I have come to realize a few things.

1) My plans and God’s plans are very different.

2) There are kind guys out there (that don’t want to sleep with you).

From a young age, we are programmed to think a few things. Girl meets boy (or boy meets girl), fall in love, get married, buy a house with a white picket fence, have a daughter and a son. Drive two nice cars. If you are really successful, you have a lake house, perhaps a boat for the lake or a ski home.

And so, life goes. Or so we think.

Sometimes there is no white picket fence (but a suitcase). A doting husband and two adorable kids. The two cars? The first car is your feet and the second is a bike (which I am totally for!) And you have an ex instead of in-laws. So what do you do when this is your reality?

I have been thinking about this the past few weeks. And I came to the conclusion that what I have envisioned for my adult life as little girl with pigtails and as a teen reading a wedding magazine, may not happen. And I am OK with that. At least today .

Perhaps my life can serve others better without all those things. Mother Teresa comes to mind. She lived a very fulfilling life and didn’t have kids of her own, but yet she left a HUGE impact on the world. Now I know that I am no Mother Teresa, but having her as an example gives me hope for my own life.

Perhaps a great guy will come into my life. Perhaps not. Either way, I am going to be happy!

40 weeks left in the series. What will happen?
