Lauren D

Ohmygoodnes, I had such a good talk with Lauren D tonight. I appreciate talking to her so much. She and I are on the same level when it comes to so many things. We're comfortable enough to be able to confide in each other and support one another. It was so encouraging to know that she's also wrestling with her faith right now. Just like me, she's struggling to find her value and identity in Christ instead of other people, especially boys. We both want husbands/boyfriends, but we also want to put God first and love Him more than the man that He gives us. I wish I could just wait patiently for the man God has picked for me, instead of thinking "hmm, potential?" every time I meet a guy. Lauren and I have been feeling frustrated at God pretty much because we don't fully understand Him (hello, big surprise there, He's flipping God, haha), but also frustrated at ourselves for not being content in being single. Lauren is such a kindred spirit. I'm truly sorry that our friendship has only just blossom before I leave for school, but I have no doubt that we will stay good friends even when we are 800 miles apart. I feel so blessed by God to have gotten to know her. Her friendship has helped remind me that God is faithful, is watching over us, and puts people in our lives so that we can see Him in them.
