Welcome to my blog!
There are multiple types of compromise. Compromising out of love for someone, compromising out of impatience, or just compromising because your mom said so. Never, in a million years, would I ever recommend comprosing for your future spouse. By that I mean, if you want a man who is Christian, don’t settle for a guy who goes to church every week, but has never opened his Bible. If you want a godly woman, don’t settle for the girl who only plays Christian on the weekends but is completely in the world the rest of the week. There are no perfect people, but there are people out there who genuinely pursue Christ. People who are in their Bible every day, pursuing God, and trying to continuously grow and be a better person. Not just for themselves, but for their family, friends, and future wife or husband as well. While waiting for that kind of person, it can feel like forever. You’ll wonder, “are they really out there? Is this all worth it?” and you at some pointed will consider compromise, “Sadie is cute, she’s never at Church and is still kind of seeing her old boyfriend, but maybe she’d be different if I dated her.” Sadie might be cute, but when you go to pursue a girl, check out her character. Does she serve? How does she treat her friends, her family? Does she keep her word? Is she growing as a person? Can you tell she follows Jesus? These things matter. When I think of being with someone, I want him to be strong, independent, and a leader. I want him to lead me towards Christ, and he is someone I can sharpen and he can sharpen my faith as well. We need to be equally yoked, on the same page, going in the same direction, having similar goals. I don't want to have kids. At most, I want to adopt kids. If a guy comes at me going on and on about how he wants to have his own kids and raise babies, then I know to back the heck off. Because that means he’s not right for me. Whoever God has for me will have the same ideas of where we’d like life to go, what we’d like to do and accomplish. I want to help orphanages, I want to serve people, I want sick people to be healed, I want so many things in life and if he doesn’t, I can’t see how we’ll work as a team. That’s what marriage is, anyway, teamwork. The two of you working together towards a common goal: seek first the Kingdom of God, and serve Him and do everything you do for the Glory of God. If they don’t want to do that, then I couldn’t be with them. Why do you want to get married if working together isn’t a goal? Kim and Johnny lead mission trips. Tia and Rick opened their own restaurant. Stefanie’s parents serve in the kids ministry together. If I want to help kids in orphanages, and you want to go on mission trips, how are we going to work that out? No lie mission trips suck for me. I have been on one and do not want to go on another one. But if you’re called to missions, hey, that’s really dang great. I am not. I’m called to do God’s work for sure, but not that. Before I forget, I should give you a quick explanation for this title, and being very open with you right now, it’s based on Christian Mingle. The last guy I was really interested I finally realized he wasn’t God’s best for me, and had to break off from it. It was like a mini break up, really. Anyway, sad me of course reached out to my best friend, who was awesome at saying, “Forget that guy man! You deserve something better! You should do Christian Mingle or a dating app or something.” and me, being really sad, took her advice and was on there for a total of 12 hours before deleting my account. There was a guy on there who I “matched” 97% with, and I accidentally found his instagram today. As much as I was tempted to be like, “oh my gosh it’s the guy!” I remembered the percentage and told myself, “No, wait for the 100%”. Daughter of the King, Son of the King, Wait for God’s best. It is worth it every. single. time.
Thanks and you are very mucho lovedo, Melody <3
