Vestibule of Singledom

I will say that waiting isn't all bad. I've managed to learn who it is God is wanting me to be as a woman with character and a heart for other people. The waiting gets harder when everyone around you is getting called out of line to check out and meet their "one and only". It happens to everyone but sometimes we get the notion its only happening to us and we will not survive in a world of love without someone for us to love.
Announcement: WE WILL SURVIVE. Gloria Gaynor didn't sing those words for nothing! Its inevitable that we as humans can get through a lot of things with a strong can do attitude. He may not be fun at all to get to the point of finding your strength, but man is it o so rewarding when we realized we got through that heaping mess of tears and woe is me lines whined to our friends. I'm guilty of it. Probably in every stage of my life, I wanted to be there for someone in a non platonic way that required me giving of my self in an unselfish manner for as long as my heart could. I started learning I didn't need a boyfriend to be able to give of myself to people who needed it. What is it? Its a listening ear, a shoulder for others to cry on, a night out on the town, a nice meal with friends. Its anything that takes our minds off of OURSELVES, what we WANT, but don't need at that given moment.
Sorry to burst the bubble of selfishness, but when push comes to shove, we should be wanting to be there for others. Don't get me wrong, we need our time to stay nourished, be nourished, get fed, cry our eyes out, and figure out what we're doing next; but the less we worry about what needs aren't being met in our life, we notice the things that we do have already.
I leave you with this. When we doubt what God has promised us in our lives and we keep harping on how we don't have what everyone else has think of how big God is and stop putting him in your box. He exceeds that little box that doesn't comprehend or fathom what he's capable of.
Ecclesiastes 3:11; "He has made EVERYTHING beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God HAS DONE from BEGINNING to END." He's not worried about your outcome cuz its already been created, why should you?
Something to chew on.

Next time: The baby boom among friends. I was going to talk about it on this one, but that'd be too much.

Lost in Laundromat Translation

Tips on using an Italian laundry service. Story all true, formed last Saturday as a series of unfortunate events. Step 1: When using an Italian laundromat make a fool of yourself first by playing it cool when others are standing around waiting on their own personal belongings. Step 2: Get set up in a corner as if you're prepping for a long day of laundering. (laundry-not money, let's be clear!) Step 3: Wait for said people and any extra onlookers to slowly exit and be financially prepared for any extra money to be spent. Step 4: Fake read Italian signs all over the room, completely bypassing the signs above the washers that are in fact ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS. So when you see a sign that says "Istruzioni per il lavaggio" ,you will understand it reads "washing instructions". You will also see the UK flag representing a "universal" English speaking dialect. But wait! It gets better! Step 5: Walk to the blinking lotto slot to choose your d...

Special Treat // Friday Covers

Image
Along with the compositions of pictures that I think I was posting on Friday's, I want to try to upload some of the best covers I have found. So that's also mainly for me to put up more music because I love music. This cover is Jessie J singing Rhianna's "We Found Love". Might I add, it's a lot better than the original. Don't hate. Just listen. Now go find you some love and live on.

When Rain Comes...

Just something I began writing from when I was still in Italy. It's already been a full month since I've been back and I'm happy more than ever that I documented what I saw from my window, I won't get to see it for some time. Or perhaps ever. I'm almost beginning to wonder if there is something in the rain because the Italians have a way of scurrying about the streets like God is going to make it flood again and if they don't hurry they will miss the Ark. Well it's not like that, but it's the closest thing to a visual I can give you. Across from my bedroom view there is an old man that looks out of his window on the 5th floor everyday. Always consoling his hands with his head, looking like he doesn't know what to look for beneath his window; but he stares for a good 5 minutes looking at passers-by. A woman who occupies the same flat is often hanging tons of laundry, of which most of the contents hanging up do not resemble any article of clothing...
