Confession

I really really envy couples who have been each other's first and only love.

Today at Youth we had a belated Valentine's Day Special, where married couples came to share their testimony on how they met their spouse and the eventual courtship that led to their marriage.

One of the uncles ended his testimony by saying "She (his wife) was my first and only girlfriend." A statement that really made my heart sank.

Read this on a friend's Facebook status today:

"Sometimes I wish I could erase the memories, and take back all that I gave so I'll have enough to give again."

That's exactly how I feel most of the time. But just now at youth I was reminded that we should be prepared for single-hood until we are called to a life of marriage. Not the other way round as most of us may think.

It is my prayer that I will focus all my attention on my one true unfailing love, Jesus.
