Choosing a Mate

I feel lied to. I was always under the impression that if I went to bible college (bridal college) that I would meet some fantastic christian guy and get married. However, I have been at Columbia Bible College for about two months now, and I am still very single... in fact, I am more single now than I was before I started! But the more I am at bible college, the more I seem to be learning about guys... acutally some things more than I want to know thanks to Marriage and Family! haha. But really, Guys are complex creatures. Well acutally, they arent complex, us women are complex and they are simple.. the only problem is that when we women try to understand them, we think they are complex and completely miss the target we are aiming at!

Its not that I am saying they are simple minded.. its just (well maybe I am), but you see they do things, and we take them so much further into thinking they mean something when really, guys mean what they say/do and nothing really deeper! There is almost nothing between the lines so stop looking women! I do apologize if I am offending any men reading this blog, but I am pretty sure no guys acutally read this! We should be okay.

Now that we all understand the basics of the male and female (well I hope all you women understand yourselves) minds, we can decide how to choose a mate. If you dont understand yourself, then stop looking for someone else to complete you! A relationship cannot be 50/50.. rather it should be 100/100! You both need to be complete people! Most of us would like to think we are complete, but we probably arent. Here is a test:

1. Take out a piece of paper, or open up Word
2. Write down 10 things that you would look for in a mate
3. Are you finished?

Okay, so now that you have done that... re-read the list and ask yourself if you are all or any of those things you wrote down? If you arent, then you need to work on that before you can enter into a relationship! My theory is, when we look for someone, we look for them to complete us, so in all reality, what we look for are what we are missing in us! Bet you didnt know that!... (if you did, then dont hate me for saying that, I did not mean to hurt your feelings). You ever wonder why the backstreet boys are singing that song "Incomplete", well its cuz one guy (probably nick because he is the player) got dumped and is now confused because his 'other half' is missing! That could have been avoided if he had been a whole person when he entered into that relationship!

Okay, so I bet your sick of me telling you relationship advice. Probably because you realized at the beginning of this blog that I am single.. thefore I couldn't possibly know anything about relationships... HAH Are you ever wrong! Take Marriage and Family and see what it does to the ole noggin! Its a good class, and like I said, I am learning far more than I need to know at this point in my life! (all you married people know what im talking about!)

Today was very interesting... I woke up bright and early and pretty much went to class and then RUSHED to my job interview at Friesen Equipment! Hehe... I got the job, it was great! I get to start in about a month and its basically a one month job (full time) and may extend to more than that, but we'll see at the end! So, if ya'll need to buy any John Deere stuff, you know who to talk to (thats me, btw.. if you are extremely slow). The rest of my day was almost lame... except this one part where I went to pick up my sister from work in Aldergrove. It went something like this:

I was waiting, and then she called me and said she was going to be about 20 minutes late.. so she suggested that I drive down into downtown aldergrove and get some Timmies while I wait... Well, that was all fine and dandy till I went to leave the Timmies parking lot! I thought I got back onto the Fraser Highway, but acutally I was driving down 264th and ended up at the Aldergrove Boarder crossing! Haha, who the heck gets lost in Aldergrove?!?! So I called my sister and she directed me back to where I was supposed to pick her up, and in the end, I was late picking her up! Haha, So word to the wise.. Dont ever give me directions and expect that i'll get there safely!

We had a sweet bible study tonight at Renita's house. Pretty much was convicted big time while I was sitting there listening! Seems as tho that has happened to me three times this week now, and I dont want to deal with it! Gah!. I think this means that God's trying to work in my life and Im not listening.. so Im gonna be working on that one - perhaps get all that wax out of my ears so I can walk in faith as I should be doing every day! You can pray for me if you feel the urge. I am going to get some shut-eye for now, and you probably wont hear from me until Sunday. I am going to Camp Luther to work at the Boofest youth retreat! WOOHOO! Take Care Ya'll!
