The Struggle

"There is a moment, when you say to yourself, 'Oh, there you are. I’ve been looking for you forever.'"- Darren Criss as Blaine Anderson, Glee.

Do you ever just meet someone and think 'Where have you been all my life?' 

I have. 

The issue I have is that I've found myself falling. Not in love. At least not yet, I won't let that happen, I'm not ready.

But I have found myself falling in like. 

As a young Christian woman, I am dealing with what I have come to call 'The Struggle.' You see, the man I have found myself falling in like with, is not a Christian. 

Cue the choice to do what I believe is right by God and my family, the incredibly hard decision to say:

"I like you, and though you like me, and though I haven't had a boyfriend in nearly two years and I really, really want you... this can't happen."

This has become the best and yet the most difficult friendship of my life.

I am so proud of myself for standing up for what I believe is right by waiting for a Christian man...

...but why does it have to be so hard?

Things can only go up from here, right?
