I can't wait for that day :)

So valentine's day just passed, aka single awareness day. haha :) It's not like I'm not happy for my friends who are in a relationship, its just...I think its a silly holiday. Alot of couples use this holiday as a way to celebrate their love. I think couples should always celebrate their love, not just one day a year! (Really I'm talking about marriage couples.) Of course I love that my dad always gives me something, like flowers of chocolates on Vday. (Because hes the most important guy in my life!)

But for me, Valentines day has been different the past few years. Instead of being down & sad not having a boyfriend, I think more of my future husband. Alot of people still don't understand or care about the concept of waiting & that really bugs me. Of course I can't wait to meet my prince charming. (To be honest I want to meet him now! :)) But some people date just to date & thats something I'm very opinionated about.

I'm keeping my eyes open for the guy God created for me, don't you even worry! I guess because I want to know him, even if I weren't to date him just yet, I just want to know about his character, his family, people he hangs out with. Yeah its rough, but I rather wait than have some random guy break my heart.

You know what I love?

You know what I love about God? How He changes us. I mean, think about it. If God never came into your life, where would you be right now? I'm sure that 1, I would not appreciate my parents, 2 I would have a lot less friends & 3 I would not have that good of a education I'm sure.

But it never ceases to amaze me how God is still by our side, no matter what we've done in the past or what we still do. No human relationship has that kind of love, even though we should.

God has given me incredible opportunities lately. A few weeks ago, the children's pastor at my church came up & talked to me & two other friends of mine from camp. He was wondering if we would be willing to share camp songs with kids on Sunday nights. We were like sure, although I wasn't quite sure why he was asking us this. Later on, me & and my friends went to have lunch with him, his wife, & two other people. Why they asked us is because they wanted to start something on Sunday nights called Kidslife. It's kinda like a worship for kids & their parents. :)

Yesterday was our first time doing it. As I was playing with the kids, leading worship I felt so at peace. Like this what I'm suppose to be doing right now, this what I'm meant to do to praise His name. Just kids life & camp is really the only opportunity really for me when I get to minister to kids. But its SO much fun when I get to. I love seeing how different kids are from teenagers. They're alot more outspoken, they're alot more energetic, they don't care whose watching them, & even sometimes, they're alot stronger in their faith than teenagers.

I don't know, I just think even I could be alot more like the kids at my church. Being more excited to worship God, having the energy they have & just being excited about life in general. I think all of us should pull out that child like faith in us every once in awhile & stop being so depressed about whats going on in the world. The kids don't care, they just want to worship God, why shouldn't we be the same?
