one of my problems with christian media

ok...i know no one writes in here really, but i just had a revelation kinda thing and i don't know where else to put it.

i was just thinking about an old friend from my old church who now lives in another town. i just found out he's getting married to his first girlfriend of 4 years- a girl he met at a music festival and had a long-distance relationship with for awhile before moving to where she lived.

this reminded me of waiting for the right one, saving your first kiss for your future husband, all of that. and i was thinking, the people who push this idea are trying to tell us what God's plan is for us.

in reality, everyone has a different plan, and a different way of fulfilling it. for some, they shouldn't marry their first boyfriend. they shouldn't wait until they find the right one before they decide to date anybody. some people need the heartache, they need the lessons.

i think i was one of those people. i wouldn't have traded it. i know a lot more about people, how they act, and who i want in my life because of my past experiences.

not all of the ideas are wrong. but i think some of them are blanket statements when they shouldn't be.
