Over the weekend I watched a Disney movie called
“Enchanted.” In this movie, a damsel has this worldview about true love where
she is pretty much pining after and waiting for some guy to come along and
sweep her off her feet. The prince does come along but as with all fairy tales
a villain that jumps in the middle of things and messes things up.
Now the concept of true love is brought up several times in
this movie.
How Do You Know That You Love Her
All that to say that oddly enough, I was sitting in church
waiting for the sermon to start when this thought crosses my mind, “How do you
fall in love with someone?”
I read somewhere that a woman should not marry a man
unless she respects him and that a man should not marry a woman unless he loves
her.
And so the question comes to my mind, “How do you fall in
love with someone?”
Since the time I started being interested in the opposite
gender years and years ago, I’ve only fallen in love with one person. And at
the time, I spent hours and hours of time with the individual, had countless
conversations with her, and really just made ourselves a part of each other’s
lives.
And so…here I am at the Honor Academy,
thinking about the future and relationships in general, and I wonder, how am I
supposed to fall in love with someone in this environment? Since my love
language is quality time, I think it’ll take time for me to fall in love with
anyone. And with how things are going, it might not happen while I’m here.
I don’t know. I’ve seen 2 friends fall in love with people
while here, one was a long distance relationship, the other happened in a
matter of months. But that was them, and I’m me.
It’s probably just not the right time. After all, I asked
God to guard my heart and not to awaken love until it was ready. He has a way
of answering prayers like that.
