Do you ever get the feeling that you are getting the set up? You know what I mean, do you not? Polite conversations filled with secret suggestions. Sly remarks and little comments and before you know it they are inter weaving your life with the life of another. My mother is the best at this or atleast she was. Her desire to marry me off has slowed down due to a combination of things...
1. I am an intern at my church and with that comes NO dating. Which is ok with me being as I am not ready, at all.
2. She now has a grand kid. Which relieves me of a lot of pressure. Thank you Lindsey!
3. Peace. I think there is finally a peace about marriage and her youngest daughter-ME.
My mom is not that bad in fact she has stopped all together which almost concerns me but not quite. It seems to me that most of my family have given up in general. My grandpa, my cousins, my siblings I do not get asked the boy question anymore. Which is great! I do not need no stinking man! Har har! Seriously though mildly concerning, I think it has to be a respect for my privacy. Yes, I will call it that.
My family have all given up on me now, clearly I am an old maid since I am a few months shy of 23 . My boat has sailed or something along those lines. This is of course a skewed and exaggerated misconception of my imagination. Oh but do not worry because I now have new people in my life who have stepped up to the plate. I finally came to the realization that one of my friends has been playing the part of a russian match maker trying to set me up with another one of our friends for months. There are others that I am with holding, all trying to set me up with the same person.
Do not say it is a sign, because it is not. We will call it what it is a distraction. You can always tell something amazing is around the corner by the life disturbances you get. I can tell you I am in for something good with all that has been going on in my life. Different story, different time. The point and moral of this story is plain and simple Please do not set me up. I am waiting for the divine set up! The one that only God is going to do. I do not care if you know some great guy from work, or your brother is divorce and he is a little lonely and your a little worried. That one definitely will not work. Even if he is a godly young man living a testimony of faith, love, joy, perseverance, wisdom, patience, and whatever other virtue you can think of. The point is I am not ready and I am ok with that. I am not angry at your attempts actually I am flattered that you would think of me. I mainly think the whole set up thingy is just hilarious.
