Perspective

I have been thinking about this word the past couple of days. Whenever I hear a friend is engaged I am a mix of emotions. I am truly happy for them while at the same time I feel sad and confused as to why it hasn't happened to me. I want to find the man God has chosen for me, become engaged and then get married. I need to trust in God and His timing for me and my life more. I am content most of the time being single, but occasionally, probably more than I want to admit, I am not. I feel bitter, jealous, frustrated, and many other emotions. I need to keep things in the proper perspective. When others are blessed with "good things" such as an engagement or a boyfriend, I need to remember all the "good things" God has blessed me with. I do not want to be bitter or angry towards God when things are not going the way I think they should. They are going the way God thinks they should. His plan for me is what is best for me. His plan is more than I can ask or even imagine. I need to be more patient and to wait on Him and His timing. This is my prayer and I know it is going to be a journey, but it is one I am willing to take!
