Affirmation

Lengthy post due to the importance of the topic, ha. Viewer’s discretion advised.

Spent time with a couple of brothers last night and visited a sister back in town for the holiday. We got into a deep conversation about the choices we’ve all been making in our past, present and what we wait and look forward to in our future. The hardest topic we got into was how we face society and how hard we try not to conform into the secular and idealistic views that the majority tends to do. This included Love and Lust.

After our long controversial debate, we came into an agreement and concluded on how this so called “Love” should really play the part in our lives: celibacy; the act and avoidance of any sexual relations (in particular a vow from marriage) or have any romantic relationships with the opposing sex. This was something we thought was all important, but most of all being truly committed into fulfilling the righteous ideals we all aim for first before attaching ourselves and our hearts to worldly desires.

A brother shared his story about his journey and test of patience for his “fairy tale” story and how he, up to this day still waits and believes it will all fall into place and be exactly how he prays for it to be. I guess, I’m just pointing out segments of last night’s talk and being too general about it, but the point of it is…there’s really no point in rushing things and forcing everything to be the way you want it to be now when you know it’s not the right time.

“The right girl at the wrong time is still the wrong girl.” I remember hearing it from a brother. Everyone’s so caught up with these social networking propaganda about how everything should be, but a lot of people fail to see the blessings God continues to shower us with.

The problem the world and this generation has now is that everything is so fast paced, so we even end up rushing most of the important parts of our lives, especially Love.

I believe, there are two types of people when it comes to this topic. The one that made mistakes in the past, but will and should grow and become a better person as they make better decisions for their future. The other, the one that still has the pure blessing of innocence and safe guarded heart away from our corrupt society. Both should take into consideration that no matter how unfair or unlucky either one feels, they should be grateful for the knowledge and endless grace God continues to give. As long as you continue and strive with patience and confidence, in the end everything will be at the right place and the right time, as God intends it to be.

At the end of the night, I was reaffirmed of what I need(ed) to do for myself and for others so that I can grow and be a better person. We all have our own fairy tale story we’re waiting for to come true. As cheesy as it seems coming from a guy, I too believe there’s something better and greater in store for me in my future. I just have to do it the right way.

Through God’s will, time, and His plan for me.
