"Where is your Mr. Right my love?"

A friend's mother who I dearly love and adore recently stated "Meg I just don't understand how you have not managed to meet your Mr. Right yet! I mean you are just so personable I just don't get it." I hadn't seen her in a bit and I guess she was a little taken back at the fact that I have for the most part been alone now for 2 years. Of course when someone says something of this manner it gets your wheels spinning...so naturally I started thinking all of these thoughts. "Why haven't I met my Mr. Right? Did I miss him in the Starbucks down the street from work while ordering my tall skinny vanilla latte, upside down? Did I brush shoulders with him last Sunday at my church? What if I haven't missed him at all? What if there is just something wrong with me? Maybe I need to drop 20 lbs, change my hair color, or change my giggly outrageous personality to one that is more adult and refined, that is why I haven't found him!" Then I had to hit the brakes in my mind...doubt had clouded my head and I needed it shut it out. I took two steps back and re-evaluated the situation. "No there is nothing wrong with me, I just happen to keep my heels high and my standards higher. I do not have a Mr. Right because I am still being refined and renewed through Christ daily so one day I can be Ms. Right for Mr. Right. Therefore I need not worry, God has me on his plan for my life and it is not my own. God's map for my life is a beautiful journey in which only he sees the final destination as cliche as it sounds I believe it with all of my heart. I am holding out for that one who is holding out for me right now, though I have yet to meet him I am confident he is out there being refined by God as well. For now all of my love is directed to the one who gave me love and reminds me daily of the love he has for me. I am whole and complete in his presence. No Mr. Right necessary :)

Old Fashioned Letters and Love Stories

I have been in quite the romantic mood, which is hilarious due to the fact that I am not dating nor even "talking" to anyone at the current moment. One might ask "How could you possibly in a romantic mood with no romantic interest?" Well I would say it is due to my recent purchase of scented candles, current listening pleasures of Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, and Jamie Cullum, and there is the purchase of last night Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (the 1997 version staring Leonardo DiCaprio) from the DVD bargain bin at Wal-Mart...oh and I also recently watched Little Women crying hysterically at the end when Jo and the Professor end up together (Yes I am that girl). Also I am really wanting to see Titanic in 3D because I mean come on it is Titanic in 3D! Need I say more!? Okay now that I have that confession out here is my other one, I want to start consistently writing letters to those who are dear to me...seriously snail mail letters. I think there is something so sentimental, nostalgic, heart-warming, and of course in the right context romantic about a little envelope addressed in another person's writing rather than the typed out print we have become so immune to throughout the past decade or two. Plus you know all the great love stories in life never began with "Well we met, I added him on facebook, he got my number off there, then we went on a date." Where is the romance and passionate pursuit in that? I want an old fashioned kind of courtship one fine day, letter writing and all! Hahaha ;) So please if you would enjoy some personal "snail-mail" send me your address via facebook message and I would love to write you sometime. Only under the pretense that you are obliged of course to write back as well, you know it takes two to tango lovelies!
