We were glad that you were able to come and it was a good conversation! I definitely will be praying for you! You are a great guy and God has the perfect girl out there and it will just happen and it will be natural and you will be connected! I pray that you have patience and that you will just follow God's will for your life!

Yes desire is there to fill that void, but if you're looking you'll likely latch onto them too quickly. My best friends are friends that have happened naturaly... I don't think I've ever gone searching for another friend. If you take 100 strangers and put them in a room, and tell them they have a week to get to know one another... friendships can form. If you put those same hundred poeple in the same room and tell them they have an hour to get to know one another... There'll be a couple acquantences... But friendships?... It is possible and could happen... but not likely. I took this approach with my campers too. I find that if you try to force talking with them all you get is awkwardness. All relationships take time to develop... some go faster than others. Also I believe strongly that there does need to be a friendship type relationship there before the dating relationship begins. Forcing it is like glueing a handle onto a drawer and trying to use it too soon... Well I've overstated my point... sorry I just kept on coming up with examples. Why listen to a 28 year old single guy? Well I'm not sure... this I do know, it wasn't until I stopped intentionally searching that I started to realize how good I've got it. Being single is a blessing. Marriage is a blessing. Looking from one to the other with desire is our sinful human nature. I've chosen to live knowing that God can move me to the other side if he chooses... but I'm not going to live my life as if I'm upset with God's blessing.

You are a geek yes, and the best one i know. this isn't flattery, its how i feel. anyone, and i mean anyone, would be lucky to have you someday. and someday, i think you will find someone, and it will be amazing. just keep in mind through all things, that God has a definate plan in mind for your life. You and I dont' know what it is. It's probably way different than what we plan for ourselves, but its also probably way better. i keep repeating this AudioA song "Starting over" but it really speaks to me when i'm feeling down or like its too late to start anew. It‚Äôs never too late It‚Äôs never too late for starting over Reclaim your innocence, start over Reclaim your innocence, reclaim you innocence Start over, start over your in my prayers. wow. i don’t say it enough tim, but you really are a role model for me too. i really appreciate all the stuf fyou do for me, especially these past few weeks. i know it doesn’t relate to this topic, but it needed to be said a while ago.

It’s never too late
It’s never too late for starting over

Reclaim your innocence, start over
Reclaim your innocence, reclaim you innocence
Start over, start over

your in my prayers.
