“Christine, do you have a valentine for Valentine’s Day? Oh come on… you should get a date that night!” one of my friends said.
Bookstores, coffee shops, and shopping malls are full of gifts for Valentines. They are all in pink, red, and white color. Don’t get me wrong! I love all these colors. But something about Valentine’s Day has been bothering me lately.
Seeing people walking in pairs on campus, at the mall, or somewhere else makes me want to have a boyfriend. Okay, I admit I don’t have a boyfriend, and I’m sure there is nothing wrong about it. I’ve been feeling frustrated because of this. How long does God want me to wait? I just don’t understand why girls from the Bible study group, where I used to go, have boyfriends and I don’t. I didn’t like the way or attitude she asked me. It’s like why don’t you have a boyfriend type of question. All they talked about was their boyfriends and husband. I got a little annoyed about that. I totally understand where they’re coming from too because it feels good and happy to talk about the guy you like or love. My heart ached as they talked about it.
Maybe I’m being a girly girl, but I want something new and a spark in my life. I want the Prince Charming to appear. I want to share my happiness and sadness with him. I want to share my interests with him as well as he does. I want to talk a walk on the beach with him. I want him to share his emotion with me. I want to do something exciting like bungee jumping with him. I want to grow in Christ with him together so that we can keep one another accountable.
I want to have a boyfriend is not because it’s valentine’s day. God, am I asking too much? and I know you’ve promised me you’ll provide, but I’m so impatient and I don’t want to wait. I just ask you that you would reveal yourself to me and provide me a scripture, or at least a verse…
